Yes. But, like states, provinces are each all over the spectrum, from “nice” to “winnebago aristocracy hoodwinking the farmers”. Themselves, some of them would support a bully from whom they cribbed their ‘tough guy’ drivel.
Not really. When people say that, they tend to be focused on healthcare. Which is fair, because US healthcare is barbaric. However, when you open it up to other issues–gay marriage, trans rights, anti-racisim–suddenly the US doesn’t look so far to the right. At least, not in terms of public opinion vs what its government actually does.
Well, gerrymandering is still a thing, but anyway it would be like adding another California to the US, electorally. The populations are pretty close. And actually, the less-populous provinces are a little more conservative (the truckers protesting covid restrictions were canadians, remember), so actually maybe each individual province being added as a state would work in Trump’s favor.
Not that he’s thought any of that through, of course.
Aren’t Canadians less conservative on average, than Americans?
So sure thing. Republicans might never win an election ever again. Look at all those sweet sweet electoral votes.
Or make it even better, admit each Canadian Province as a separate state, Republicans may never control a majority in the Senate ever again.
I used to think so but frankly the infection seems to have spread pretty far up here.

I think this is one of those “arch conservative” of one country turns out to be left of center in the US.

I mean, I just read through the platform of the Canadian conservative party and they’re pretty left by US standards.
