Misleading Demographics

Is it just me, or does the demographics section makes no reference to any white people living in the Pacific Northwest, as if none exist there? Seeing the progressive-bias in other sections of the page, this doesn't seem to be an undeliberate oversight. Quite disturbing, really. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Seso101 (talk • contribs) 22:43, 3 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Literally says the most dominant culture is Anglo-American. Antigravity711 (talk) 04:20, 6 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Boundaries

The summary says that Cascadia is loosely bounded in the east by the Cascade Mountain Range, but then immediately says the most common conception includes Idaho. These are contradictory statements. Antigravity711 (talk) 04:18, 6 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

BC should not be mentioned first, it is too much disputed. Canadians don't call BC "Pacific Northwest", as it is in the far SOUTHWEST COAST corner of thier country. some kind of faction wants to include BC in "cascadia" but the canadians don't call it any of the above. Why do people insist on placing BC FIRST on the list in the intro then? since it is the most disputed and least accepted. Meat Eating Orchid (talk) 08:24, 8 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Don't have a strong opinion on the order but people in BC definitely understand that "the Pacific Northwest" includes them. I was born and raised in Vancouver: it's not a term that gives people pause. —Joeyconnick (talk) 16:11, 8 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Photo collage

Just have to give a shoutout to the photo collage. One hell of a compilation, guys. Probably the best I've seen on this site. --Truflip99 (talk) 17:32, 7 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
