As as a Canadian, I am going give what is currently an unpopular opinion among my fellow Canadians, I would gladly vote for statehood. Alas, establishment media and its influencers have been hard at work weaponizing emotion and bias against the idea. Canada is currently a monarchy ... true story ... and the small amount of democracy we have has been captured by the parliamentary system and party politics. As a state(s) we would be protected under the US Constitution and be free to move as we wished within North America. I don't think we should remain as a large state ... because then we would have to lose our provincial governments, who are generally more answerable to the people; On the other hand, as individual provinces and territories, states would not be big enough. I propose ... a 3 state model ... Western Canada, Eastern Canada, and Quebec ... or they may choose their own country or amalgamate with Eastern Canada. if that is what they wish. As large states we could maintain our healthcare and chosen social programs. I know many do not like Trump but he is gone is 4 years ... statehood would remain and so would Canadian culture but at the level of state and not country.
