The map of the USA above missed a few Blue states: Florida, Colorado, New Mexico, Iowa, Virginia, Ohio went for the good guy whereas the others went with Romney. The result - a victory for America. 
Overall, Canadians are more like Europeans than Americans in their attitude toward Big Govt. They are very comfortable with it. Virtually all Canadian politics is played out the field established by the left. Canada reminds me of Blue America. Ontario is similar in many ways to Minnesota. British Columbia is reminiscent of California. The Maritimes are like New England. Canadian provinces would change the electoral count among American states. Since there is no region in Canada similar to the American South and Border states or the rural Midwest electoral votes would effectively be taken from conservative states on a net basis. Those redistributed electoral votes would end up Blue.
Despite the diversity and divisions in Canadian society it is less tribal than America, and doesn't have the same level of mutual hostility among groups. If Canada joined the United States in a political union Canadians would be infected with the American disease of political hatred. Conservative/Libertarian Americans don't need anyone else joining the enemy camp.
We just fought our butts off to remain Canadian. I'd like to stay that way thanks! I don't even want to entertain the idea of merging with the States.
What, not even throw a barbecue for the idea? Maybe sing it some patriotic songs?
Hmmmm, not sure if there are any Canada/US patriotic songs. I'll have to give that some thought.
Ah, c'mon. Haven't you ever wanted to be fat, ignorant, armed, and convinced you're Gawd's sidekick?
Hey, maybe that'd be the campaign slogan. . . JOIN WITH THE STATES. WE GOT ATTITUDE.
Probably be three entities. Canada, which would take in most of what we have now with someof the western states, Texas, slightly larger than itis noe and jeaseus land where everyone is running around shooting everyone else that doesn't believe in the right god.
Quebec is sui generis.
The idea behind a North American Union includes Mexico, besides Canada and America. Big Business and Big Govt. think a NAU would combine sufficient natural resources, low paid labor, and post-industrial skills to be able to successfully compete with China and others during the 21st century. The concept of the NAU is something only a businessman and a bureaucrat could love.
