    They usually add states in pairs to balance the parties etc, so will Puerto Rico have to join also? Both of those places will most likely vote liberal.

      Puerto Rico leans conservative by a slight margin. Dems don’t want them as a result and Republicans don’t want them because they’re brown.

          Canadian conservatives are not the same as American ones. The Democrats are to the right of our conservatives

            Sure, US Democrats would be considered a right-leaning party most anywhere else in the globe, but what does Canada have to do with that?

          They don’t lean MAGA, because Trump is specifically racist against them. Their internal political parties tell a much different story.
