I too like to help people out but I don’t know if we’ll survive absorbing Florida and Texas while remaining a federal democracy. We already have Alberta and it’s difficult. 😅
(AB canucks, this is a joke. Please don’t get mad at me. If you still do, I apologize.)
Washington and Oregon at least are part of the West Coast, and I don’t know how much Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, and the Dakotas would complain. Outside of urban areas the country seems to be pretty red regardless of where you go, and those states are definitely not known for being very urban.
If Canada got rid of FPTP, proportional representation and ranked voting across all its provinces (Texas and Florida would become provinces) and federation (get rid of the monarchy), Florida and Texas would be much less of an issue.
For sure. That said PR isn’t a panacea. It solves a legitimate issue but it doesn’t solve the orthogonal and serious problem of democracy’s tendency to represent large capital.

As a Texan, I find your joke insulting. Primarily because it’s typed instead of being a video and I have no clue what it says.
Savage…
Just take the northeast (NY, VT, CT, MA, NH, RI, ME), and the west coast. The rest won’t complain.
Please do, I would rather be Canadian these days.
A few more states would be happy to join I’d say.
The PNW would complain.

Ugh. Try living here!
