To be honest, the sheer size doesn’t matter. Nations have taken invaded and occupied lands larger than their initial size. Regardless, it’s very unlikely to happen in this case.
But were it taken and turned into US states, it would likely completely upset the balance of parties in the US…
… and in a direction likely very unfavorable to the GOP. (Which is the main reason no new states have been added since Alaska and Hawaii … and why the last time was two states… maintaining balance in the Senate.)
Canada is ALREADY A FEDERATION. It is composed of ten states (they call them "provinces", but so what? Some US states call themselves "commonwealths") It's absurd to suggest that ten states should collapse into one, many times larger than the largest state. SO absurd I can't fathom why it's...
That’s immaterial as it’s unlikely to happen, but my earlier response did mention making it into multiple US states. And that’s even more reason for it not to happen. It would upset the two party ecosystem too much. (Similar to why all of Mexico wasn’t annexed in the 1848.)
...not being mentioned in all this Comedy of Idiocy, unless it's that the Chief Clown said "51st state" rather than "new group of states" so now that's fucking gospel among both his worshipers and those terrified by him? And nobody can point out how FUCKING STUPID it is?
