No way. We need Vermont. If anything, we need more left-wing states. I'd rather Canada give up BC or its Atlantic provinces. Admitting Atlantic Canada as four separate states would be quite good for future Democratic prospects. It wouldn't look too bad on a map either. 
It's interesting to speculate how Canadian provinces would vote if they were US states. I don't buy that (outside Quebec) there would be an 85-15 split between Democrats and Republicans (in spite of what these hypothetical scenarios by pollsters say) but they would certainly almost all be Democrat. Even conservative Alberta would probably be politically similar to Colorado. And Eastern Ontario is definitely more conservative than Vermont (though Ontario would be a Dem stronghold, obviously).
Well you have to consider that with a much greater land mass and presence of more states, etc., the political axis would have to shift.
Indeed. The question is how it would shift.
Suppose we do a bit of handwaving and have Canada annexed with current provincial borders back in the 1800's. Would swing states vote GOP to account for the leftward shift or would the Canadian provinces be more mixed?
