Canada.....

6 potential brand new states...?

Maybe three to five. I'd take the prairie provinces (Alberta, Manitoba, Saskatchewan), and the North (Yukon, NW Territories). BC is too liberal, Ontario is worse, and to hell with the Froggies in Quebec. And the Maritimes are an economic basket case. . .

You know, the funny thing is, Canada had a great opportunity to be part of the United States and never took it. The Articles of Confederation, Article 11 (?) extends membership to the confederation to Canada- there wouldn't have even been a vote on it, the Articles simply states that it will take place (if Canada so chose). I think it's too late now, but they should've jumped on that bandwagon while they had the chance.
