I think I misunderstood what you were saying. In that, Florida was only "WASP Country" then. this is how I really break up Florida's periods
1560-1821: Spanish Rule, marked by a brief intermission of British rule.
1821-1845: The "Taming" of Florida. Basically, the Seminole Wars and the intial integration of Florida to the states
1845-1895: The Dixie era, where it was entirely a pure Deep South state with extremely low population.
1895-1959: The Northern Flood, when Northerners came in. I wouldn't say WASPy, because many were Irish, Italian, Jewish or of other descents.
1959-1983: The Cuban Arrival, when Cubans began to come in after Castro and challenge the order of Florida, eventually breaking white control of Miami and other parts of south Florida and the resulting migration of southerners north.
1983-Present Day: Contemporary era
Florida was only as WASP as other states during the third, partially fourth eras. It's been a very odd history.
In the wake of the recent presidential election, I decided to do something.
The 2052 French presidential election was held on 27 April and 9 May 2052. Following the first round of presidential elections on 27 April, a runoff was held between Gaby Trottier of the Front Populaire (Popular Front) and Jean-Joël Marouazi of Alliance des Citoyens (Citizens' Alliance), which Gaby Trottier won with 58.3% of the vote compared to Marouazi's 41.7%.
Following the so-called "Joumayeffgate", in which it was discovered that incumbent president Abraham Joumayeff of the Unité et Égalité (Unity and Equality) was laundering money and dividing the national budget between his friends and associates (some of which are part of the Turkmen mafia) and the brutal execution of Abraham Joumayeff via guillotine, the new Seventh Republic of France was still shaking from the previous events. During the State of Emergency inbetween the downfall of the Sixth Republic and the promised elections, the Seventh Republic's acting President was Cedric Genest, the Minister of Interior under Marion Marechal-Le Pen and Joumayeff. Thankfully, despite January attacks by terrorists hired by Turkmen and Uzbek drug mobs, as well as the Navalnist "Popular Front for the Restoration of the Sixth Republic", the elections did come.
While initially Daniel Marais, well-known philanthrope and candidate for the United Republic party and Jean-Joël Marouazi led first-round opinion polls, Daniel Marais was quickly overtaken by Gaby Trottier and her newly-founded Popular Front. Before the election, Gaby Trottier was merely a civil rights activist and lawyer from French Guiana, and thus was barely relevant or known to the general public, while Jean-Joël Marouazi was a comparatively very well-known singer, actor and businessman who was extremely popular among the French Maghrebis. However, her solid economic program, combined with her strong sense of national identity and preference for "popular liberalism" over what she called "fraudulent Unionism infused with mad political correctness", allowed her to become extremely popular, eventually defeating the comparatively extremely liberal[1] and pro-Eurounionist Marouazi. At the age of 39, Gaby took office on 18 May 2052 as the first elected President of the Seventh Republic and one of the youngest Presidents of France.
[1]: To the point where he has been referred to as "Yeltsinite". Make of that what you will.
In other news, yet another Synth Pride march was held in Skopje, Macedonia, and has been one of the biggest since the 2049 march. The Second Republic of Macedonia has always maintained a small, yet vibrant and growing community of Synths, ever since the 2044 revolution that brought down the corrupt and ultraconservative government of Ljudmil Babunski. The current President of Macedonia - as well as the first Synth-Macedonian President - is Trajan Mihajlovski, who has led the Macedonian Party of Unity, Freedom and Industry (Македонската партија на единство, слобода и индустрија) since January 2049. Following his victory in the 2049 presidential elections over Goran Pandev of the United Macedonia ~ Our Motherland party (Обединети Македонија ~ Нашата Татковина) and Jakov Petkovski of the Renewed Social-Democratic Party of the Macedonian People (Обновува Социјалдемократската партија на Македонија), Trajan Mihajlovski succeeded famous rebel leader Admir Atanasov as President.
Trajan Mihajlovski's politics can be characterized by progressivism, sovereignty and extreme modernization of the country. Of course, despite Trajan's successful economic and technological reforms, there are some people opposing the current order, mainly politicians who thrived under Babunski, as well as Macedonian ultraconservatives and nationalists...

But yes, Urban Florida is best Florida though. We're basically the birthplace of vapourwave aesthetic. Have you ever seen Citrus Park Mall's fucking movie theatre?
You should check out the gross theater in Pompano. From the outside, the building is a giant black and purple warehouse. Looks like the kinda place where they sell sex dolls. On the inside, it's basically like that but tackier and even more neon-ish. Thank God I live in Tally now.

Hubert Humphrey was the 14th Prime Minister of Canada and whose eight-year term resulted in some of the most dramatic changes to Canadian society of any prime minister in history. Frequently rated as one of the best prime ministers in Canadian history, he is ironically the most recent prime minister to be an immigrant and the only one who came to Canada as an adult. Humphrey was born to a South Dakota pharmacist and his Norwegian immigrant wife in 1911, and the post-First World War downturns in farming communities in the United States made his teenage years and young adulthood one of constant financial worries as his father's pharmacy struggled to survive. Living close to Canada his entire life, Humphrey initially attended the University of Minnesota for one year, but was forced to drop out and work at his father's pharmacy, getting a pharmacist's license from the Capitol College of Pharmacy in Denver, Colorado (completing a two-year program in six months). Humphrey disliked working as a pharmacist and eventually re-enrolled in the University of Minnesota, getting a bachelor's degree in political science. He briefly returned to the United States to get a master's degree from Louisiana State University after the beginning of the Second World War before returning to the University of Minnesota to work as an instructor and doctoral student. However, he soon became involved in Minnesota politics and never completed his doctoral program.
Humphrey's affinity for Canada led him to attempt to join the Canadian Army to fight in the Second World War, rather than return to the United States to enlist in that army, even after attack on Pearl Harbor. Humphrey successfully applied for Canadian citizenship in 1942, but his attempts to join the military failed due to color blindness and a double hernia. Instead, Humphrey worked as an administrator in several wartime agencies and became involved in the provincial Liberal Party. Shortly afterwards, he was elected to the Legislative Assembly in 1943. His election would be one of the few bright spots for the party and the enthusiastic 33 year old was elected as the party's new leader in 1944. The vote-splitting between the Liberals and Farmer-Labour party had been a major factor in the Progressive Conservatives' victories in both 1938 and 1943 and Humphrey and Farmer-Labour leader Elmer Benson managed to get their parties to agree to a merger, forming the Progressive Liberal Party and electing Humphrey as the party's first leader. The merger of both parties and Humphrey's leadership was not enough to break the Progressive Conservative hold on Minnesota's politics, boosted by the province's rising fortunes in the immediate post-war years, and Humphrey spent his decade as opposition leader laying the groundwork for policies that his successor as Progressive Liberal leader, Orville Freeman, would eventually introduce as premier.
Humphrey's role in the creation of the Progressive Liberal Party had attracted federal attention and he was approached by both the Liberals and Co-operative Commonwealth Federation to be a candidate in the 1948 federal election. With an eye on provincial politics, Humphrey declined, but after the 1952 loss to Edward Thye's Progressive Conservatives, he accepted the Liberals' offer to be their candidate in the safe Liberal riding of Minneapolis—University. After the election, Humphrey was named to Louis St. Laurent's cabinet as the Minister for Public Works, where he served ably. Following the surprising loss to John Diefenbaker's Progressive Conservatives in 1957, St. Laurent announced his retirement as Liberal leader. Humphrey threw his hat into the ring, competing with Lester Pearson, Paul Martin Sr. to succeed St. Laurent. Humphrey's vigor and experience in electoral politics gave him an edge over his main rival, Pearson. His promise to renounce his American citizenship, which had increasingly been seen as a political liability the higher he moved up the political ladder, if he were named Liberal leader, helped put him over the top. The 1958 election, Humphrey's first as Liberal leader, was a disaster for the Liberals. St. Laurent's departure had allowed for Quebec voters to be open to voting for other parties and Union Nationale Premier Maurice Duplessis threw the party machinery behind Diefenbaker, while the Liberals were blindsided both by the support for Diefenbaker across Canada and the disappearance of one of their biggest strongholds. Humphrey would, however, prove to be a potent foe of Diefenbaker's at Question Period, usually topping the prime minister in debates. The 1962 election campaign resulted in another Progressive Conservative minority and the Liberals soon smelled blood. A intra-party debate over housing nuclear missiles in Canada to honor NATO obligations caused the Diefenbaker government to fall and Humphrey's Liberals announced an ambitious plan of reform, including introducing a new national flag, reforming the healthcare system and a public pension plan. The Liberals fell just short of a majority, but it was enough to allow Humphrey to become prime minister, the first Minnesotan and first (and so far only) American-born Canadian to do so.
Humphrey's first five years as prime minister would see his most wide-ranging accomplishments, a fact that is even more peculiar when noting that the Liberals did not have a majority in Parliament during this time. Humphrey oversaw the so-called "Flag Debate" that resulted in the adoption of the Maple Leaf Flag as the national flag, the creation of the Canadian Pension Plan, student loans, the Royal Commission on the Status of Women, policy of official bilingualism and Medicare, which brought universal healthcare to Canada. This period would also see the move towards a totally race-free immigration system that had begun under Diefenbaker completed (the first in the world), as well as the controversial unification of the Canadian Forces and de facto abolition of capital punishment in Canada. Humphrey also clashed with American Presidents Lyndon Johnson and Richard Nixon, refusing to send troops to Vietnam and accepting draft dodgers from that country, although he personally maintained good relations with the two men. Humphrey would also oversee Canada's centennial celebrations including the creation of the Order of Canada, although the celebrations would partially be marred by French President Charles de Gaulle's proclamation of "Vive le Québec libre" in Montreal that enraged Humphrey (a notably easy-going and cheerful man) to the point where he made it clear that de Gaulle was no longer welcome in Canada.
The 1968 election would come at a perfect time for Humphrey, with the Progressive Conservatives under new leader Robert Stanfield divided over issues of bilingualism and hurting from the recent redistribution that had reduced the number of seats in many Tory strongholds. Riding high on the vast accomplishments of his prime ministry and with the Tories offering contradictory messages about their plans for Canada, Humphrey won his only majority as prime minister. His last term would be his most challenging, with the October Crisis in October 1970 resulting in the most controversial action of his entire time leading Canada: his invocation of the War Measures Act that allowed for the suspension of civil liberties in Quebec and deployment of the Canadian Forces to restore order in Quebec. While widely supported at the time, the invocation of the War Measures Act is viewed as controversial today and a large black mark on Humphrey's reputation as a champion of civil rights and federalism, with the blowback in Quebec resulting in increased support for sovereigntist political parties. Humphrey would also work to begin the patriation of the Canadian constitution, although negotiations floundered on the refusal of Quebec Premier Robert Bourassa to sign on to the proposed agreement (known as the Victoria Charter).
Humphrey's years as prime minister and transformation of the country had gradually resulted in his popularity declining and with the Canadian economy beginning a downturn, the Liberals began to fall behind the Progressive Conservatives in the polls. Humphrey, realizing that he was dragging down the Liberal numbers, was persuaded to retire and oversaw the surprise election of Minister of Justice Pierre Trudeau to succeed him as Liberal leader and prime minister in 1971. Humphrey opted to return to the backbenches and focused on policy formulation, including cooperating with several New Democratic MPs to create a plan for full employment for every adult in Canada. Diagnosed with terminal bladder cancer in 1977, Humphrey's farewell speech to Parliament is considered the best such speech every given by an MP, frequently noted for its articulation of the "liberals' mantra" ("It was once said that the moral test of Government is how that Government treats those who are in the dawn of life, the children; those who are in the twilight of life, the elderly; and those who are in the shadows of life, the sick, the needy and the handicapped."). Humphrey passed away at his home in Minnesota in 1978. His son, Hubert "Skip" Humphrey IV, would later serve as a Minnesota MLA as well as the leader of the provincial Liberal Party in the 1990s.

Little can describe how dedicated Hubert Humphrey is to his country. He served in the United States Army for nearly 50 years, he served 15 years as President, and over 50 years in the United States Senate, fighting for the rights of the American people on all planets and stars. God bless him.
He has stated he does not wish to retire, or die yet.

Well, it's either that or getting kicked to death by a moose avenging the FLQ.
I think MaskedPickle, of A Giant Sucking Sound fame, once said something along the lines of "butterflies can't stop people from getting cancer".
Cancer is a unique disease though. It really depends on risk factors. I mean if someone has a history of alcohol or tobacco abuse, then they're likelier to get cancer. Doesn't mean they will though. Cancer isn't an automatic thing, but I don't think that it is pre-determined either. It's hard to pin point. Anyway, I have a feeling Humphrey's cancer was pretty random. I'm not aware of any risk factors he might have had.
