38.33% of Californians voted for Trump last election. In our most right-wing province of Alberta, 21% of people hold positive views of Trump. Adding a blue state to Canada would bring in millions of far-right voters and move our country significantly right.
This is interesting, but I felt the measures used aren’t right. It’s to be expected that a leader who’s antagonising your country would be disliked, even when their ideology is similar to yours.
To be able to compare well enough in the little time I have in my busy life, I had to go by a methodology that is not perfect but allows some comparison. It’s the Political Compass.
I have to go now but I’ll try later to find the proportion of Albertan voterd who voted for the Conservative party.
EDIT: 63,5% of Albertan voters voted for the CPC. It’s still hard to compare that statistic to the proportion of Californian voters who voted for Trump, but my feeling is that California isn’t far removed from Alberta, perhaps it is even left of Alberta.
Given our own right wingers would rather seperate an entire province than just join the states themselves, i doubt your rigbt wingers would just walk away from california in this hypothetical scenario
I love you, Canada. I want to join you one day. Please acquire California.

Let’s remain friends. :)

According to this site, during the 2025 federal elections, the Conservative party was 8,7 (economic scale and social scale respectively), while Trump was 9,9 during the last presidential elections. It means Trump is to the right of the Conservative party, but not by a lot.

I doubt those fuckers would stay in California if we left to join you.

Not a risk I’m willing to take :/
Edit: and who knows? Our level of free healthcare may radicalize them :)
But “no kings,” right?
I would be open to that movement.
