"I can see a good case for annexing the Western Canadian provinces."

You bet. Let's trade most of New England for Alberta, BC, the Yukon, and NWT. As an extra added bonus we could throw in New York and start them off with their very own Queen.

Sounds like a deal to me.

From what I've seen of British Columbia, they are rather schizophrenic in terms of politics; they sometime swing very far left.

I think that Yukon and the Northwest Territories aren't big enough to become states, and if they were, they would probably elect lefties to Congress.

Alberta would be a good addition as a state, and I have talked to a number people in Alberta that would like to secede from Canada and join the US, but for the most part, Albertans don't want to join the US, they would rather "go it alone". That would be fine with me, we would have a solid ally to the north and a great trading partner.
