Adding each Province as a State and expanding Canadian political
parties southwards might be helpful. Or not. Not that I would
recommend it.
 
But making all of Canada a /single/ State is ludicrous.

 
There are only two responses to this kind of crap, which I heard all too
often in my time in the US.  The first is obscene, but the second is:
 
"No, fifty two states".  We demand control of the senate, even if you
make PR a state.
 
Then people try to explain to me how ludicrous that would be, and I smile.

I wonder how you would divide 11 provinces (plus Yukon, Northwest
Territories, and Nunavut) into 52 states. This is, however, a game two
can play (Texas into 5 states, California into 3, Oregon into 2, as well
as Washington and Colorado, split off Michigan's upper peninsula, etc.).
