Y'know that's a concept most separationists fail to understand. Canadian provinces would make a pretty sizable voting block in Federal politics. Not only in the electoral college but also in the US Congress and especially in the Senate, where you get two seats for every state (ie: province) regardless of population.

Far from being the serfs the Canucks imagine they would be, in truth with their population, territory and natural resources, they'd be the new big dog on the US political block and have a heckuva lot more say in the actions of this country than they do now.
