RockyRoadTravel Posted 17 hours ago Posted 17 hours ago MAGA would freak out at the change of representation in the House of Representatives and Senate. Canada is geographically larger than the USA and has a population that is larger than the combined populations of North Dakota, South Dakota, Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, Nebraska, Mississippi, Kansas, Arkansas, Utah, Oklahoma, Kentucky, Louisiana and Alabama combined. There are 10 provinces and 3 three territories, that's 26 Senators and 53 House seats. The existing 50 States would have only 382 House seats, not the current 435. Anyone think that Montana, Idaho, Nebraska, Mississippi, Kansas, Arkansas, Utah, Oklahoma, Kentucky, Louisiana and Alabama will be happy giving up House seats to the great "liberal" north. In the Senate only two provinces would be reliably conservative, and maybe not even crazy MAGA, more in line with "establishment" Republicans. The rest would likely be liberal, or maybe even a few from the left. With the current Senate that'd be a change to 57 caucusing with the GOP and 69 caucusing with the Democrats. With the House, the split would likely be 212 caucusing with the GOP and 228 with the Democrats. The only party that benefits from Canada joining the USA is the Democrats. A more likely scenario is that there are a few States who give up on the MAGA chaos for the sake of chaos and opt to join Canada. vinapu and stevenkesslar 2 Quote
