Okay - I am gonna start calling the blue states "the Canadian States". I think there is just cause for us to take over certain portions of the U.S. All States that voted Democrat are attached continuously to Canada. Except Hawaii - but we'll take them too (can't turn down possible vacation spots).
I am proposing Three New Canadian Provinces
Lower Cascadia - WA, OR, CA & HI.
North Appalachia- ME, NH,VT,CT,RI, NY,NJ,PA,MD,DE, DC
Great Lakes - IL,MI,WI,MN
Please keep your red states - thank you very much. And we'll take your cities, 75% of your GDP and much of your exportable culture (plus all that milk, trees and software). You'll have to build a new capital - I would suggest Tallahassee or Crawford.
You'll get oil and deep-fried everything and I'd say it would be about 15 years before Mexico decided that they could swallow the rest of you.
Congrats on your selection.
