    As a Californian, I would love for us to become Canada’s newest province.

      I wouldn’t, as Canadian, because California would fully dominate such a union. It would be Canada joining California, not the reverse. Economically, politically, you’d be the biggest and most important province. I doubt you’ll be happy being part of Confederation or being technically a monarchy.

        Conveniently, if any states were to join Canada, they would most likely do so as territories (at least initially), and so would be somewhat politically neutered.

      They don’t want us. I already asked. But CA, OR, and WA can secede and make Cascadia minus the Canadian portion.
