New York State Senator Liz Krueger is publicly calling for the state to withhold its $360 billion tax revenue, secede from the United States, and join Canada to escape Trump's presidency.

Senator Krueger wants neighbouring states to join her plan, "New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Vermont, would combine and be a great new province as the Southeast Province of Canada... Basically, everybody in these states are progressive Democrats. We would fit in pretty well with the political philosophy of at least most of the Canadian elected officials."
