Should New England Secede and Join Canada ?

[Sol]

Here's an odd thing to ponder on: why are the political cultures of New England and the Maritimes so different?

Well, the Maritimes are more rural than New England, and have been in economic decline for ages, whereas New England is generally quite metropolitan and has a decent economy.

Maine seems fairly comparable to the Maritimes to me, but even Maine from what I understand was more historically industrial.
