1 Alaska
Alaska is a U.S. state situated in the northwest extremity of the Americas. The Canadian administrative divisions of British Columbia and Yukon border the state to the east; it has a maritime border with Russia to the west across the Bering Strait. Alaska should join Canada because it is sitting next to Yukon. It would make sense geographically because Alaska sits far north of the 49th Parallel. Anything above 49 should be Canada's.
Alaska should just join the Yukon. It is really annoying on maps that Alaska exists separately and would probably be better and happier in Canada's hands. Also, Alaska is cold, so there is not much of a climate change. Geopolitically and economically, it helps.
I live in Canada and I believe that Alaska would be a territory that would thrive under Canadian territory. It would also make more sense geographically speaking.
2 Minnesota
Minnesota is a state in the Midwestern United States. Minnesota was admitted as the 32nd state on May 11, 1858, created from the eastern half of the Minnesota Territory. This is practically Canada anyway. Everything about the place is Canadian!
Should be above Hawaii and California. Should be number 2.
Alright, well I live here and I ain't complaining. At least we don't have to deal with those cheese lovers in Wisconsin. Just kidding, we love you Wisconsin.
3 Washington
Washington is a state in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States located north of Oregon, west of Idaho, and south of the Canadian province of British Columbia on the coast of the Pacific Ocean. It is the only state named after a president. Jesus, this should be part of Canada. It is so much like Canada that they are practically twins. I mean, the Olympic Peninsula is just so close to Vancouver Island you can spot it from Victoria. They both have mountains, coast, and warm valleys. Why isn't the whole Columbia River part of Canada? They share the same name. Canada exports so much to the USA that they should give us Washington!
Washington and British Columbia were to make a province at one point called Cascadia along with Oregon. The union is not dead yet, so why not?
4 Maine
Maine is located in the New England region of the northeastern United States. Known for its rugged coastline, it is the easternmost state in the contiguous U.S. Its capital is Augusta, while its largest city is Portland. Maine is famous for its maritime history, as well as its seafood cuisine, particularly... read more Maine is culturally the most similar to Canada (at least the Maritimes, anyway), so they'd fit right in. Having a more southern part that can actually get up to 90 degrees would be awesome!
5 Michigan
People from Michigan sound like Ontarians and also act like them too! Plus, Michigan is just as cold as Canada, so they would adapt well to Canadian society. Detroit and Windsor account for a lot of trade already. Why not just join already?!
Especially the Upper Peninsula, Michigan's climate and culture are similar to Ontario.
6 Oregon
Oregon is a state in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States. Oregon is bordered on the west by the Pacific Ocean, on the north by Washington, on the south by California, on the east by Idaho, and on the southeast by Nevada. Does Oregon have yahoos and con jobs? Sure, but we also have Alberta (where I live), so they are welcome too.
7 Vermont
It's extremely liberal, as is Canada, both socially and economically. Combined with the fact that they share a border, Vermont is the #1 state that should join Canada.
8 California
California is a state in the Southwestern United States. With 39.6 million residents across a total area of about 163,696 square miles (423,970 square kilometers), California is the most populous U.S. state and the third-largest by area. The state capital is Sacramento, and the largest city is Los Angeles... read more
9 Hawaii
Hawaii is the 50th and most recent state of the United States of America, receiving statehood on August 21, 1959. Excellent idea! Its military could defend the islands wearing hula skirts and chucking pineapples.
10 New Hampshire
All of New England should just join Canada in my opinion and make a separate province. Or, with all the historically French ones going to Québec and the rest either joining New Brunswick or making a separate province!
The Contenders
11 New York
New York is a state located in the Mid-Atlantic Region. New York was one of the original thirteen colonies that formed the United States. With an estimated 19.54 million residents in 2018, it is the fourth most populous state. In order to distinguish the state from the city with the same name, it is... read more
12 Massachusetts
Massachusetts, officially the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, is the most populous state in the New England part of the northeastern region of the United States. All New England states, except Fairfield County in Connecticut, should become the Canadian province of New England.
13 Pennsylvania
Pennsylvania, officially the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, is a state located in the northern and Mid-Atlantic regions of the United States.
14 Wisconsin
Wisconsin is a U.S. state located in the north-central United States, in the Midwest and Great Lakes regions. Honestly, people from here even sound Canadian!
15 Montana
Montana is a state in the Western region of the United States. The state's name is derived from the Spanish word montaña.
16 Florida
Florida is a state located in the southeastern region of the United States. Florida is the southeasternmost U.S. state, with the Atlantic on one side and the Gulf of Mexico on the other.
17 North Dakota
North Dakota is the 39th state of the United States, having been admitted to the union on November 2, 1889. I mean, historically North Dakota is pretty close to Saskatchewan, and even the landscape looks the same.
Arguably the most useless state in the Union. Might as well be surrendered to Canada by now.
18 New Mexico
19 Louisiana
20 Connecticut
21 North Carolina
North Carolina is a state in the southeastern region of the United States. The state borders South Carolina and Georgia to the south, Tennessee to the west, Virginia to the north, and the Atlantic Ocean to the east.

South Carolina is a state in the southeastern region of the United States. The state is bordered to the north by North Carolina, to the south and west by Georgia across the Savannah River, and to the east by the Atlantic Ocean.

Rhode Island, officially the State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations, is a state in the New England region of the United States.
25 Illinois
Illinois is a state in the midwestern region of the United States. It is the 5th most populous state and 25th largest state in terms of land area, and is often noted as a microcosm of the entire country.
