Only if California becomes part of Canada.
I live in bc, and I visited California last summer. It was a "don't meet your heroes" kind of experience.
Crossing the state line from Oregon into Cali was jarring: the (terrible) quality of the roads, local economy, even the cars... It reminded me of some impoverished parts of Louisiana when I visited in the early 2000s. Neglected houses, but $80,000 trucks in the driveway.
Then you get to the city... A never-ending spread of garbage and human encampments. Like watching a documentary about a war-torn country.
By contrast, I live in a small town in BC. It's pretty clean, quiet. I also travel to the metro Vancouver area for work; clean, easy public transport to many places in the valley, encampments can be found, but not nearly at the same, massive extent as I saw in Cali.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not expecting the California of "The Karate Kid", and I understand the amplification from population, but California was.... Kind of a shit hole.
This comparison the gov of california is making between bc and california is reeeeeally stretching. To compare the two, you'd have to imagine letting BC go to shit and be neglected for 75 years.
