Loop in Canada and call it the United Canadian and American States. (Turns out Trump was a dragon all along!)

Lol, what is this? All of Canada maybe minus AB and SK would be in. And no, I don't want to be a former province, nor do we wanted the word United. Canadian American Union.

Also, it's a thanks for no thanks. Even if California joined Canada, that would match our total current population (41M) and the balance of power would forever shift. Let the Blue States unite and hopefully Canada can have the best of the "old" US and get our trading, security partnership on good foundation again.

This is from a roleplaying game. Quebec separates, First Nations retake most of everything north and west of Sudbury, the remainder join up with what's left if the US. Oh, and there's elves and orcs and dragons and magic.
