Hi, I'm new to this site.  I just wondered how many eclectoral votes would the provinces roughly add up to.  Also, if its not to much, what are the populations of the individual provinces.

Canadian province population statistics:

I am too lazy to compute the number of electoral votes. I think I'll do it later.

If they were granted representatives on the basis of population parity with the US (expanding the House of Representatives to 484 members).

Newfoundland&Labrador 1 (has less population than all states but Wyoming).

Prince Edward Island 1 (about 1/4 the population of Wyoming)

Nova Scotia 2 (somewhat more than Montana, could lose the 2nd seat at the next census).

New Brunswick 1 (a bit less than South Dakota).

Quebec 11 (somewhat more than Virginia, but not enough for a 12th representative).

Ontario 18 (between Pennsylvania and Ohio, would become 7th overall).

Manitoba 2 (between Rhode Island and Hawaii)

Saskatchewan 2 (between Rhode Island and Montana, trend is to join the prairies states to the south SD, ND, and MT in losing their 2nd representative).

Alberta 5 (slightly more than Iowa, but growing)

British Columbia 6 (just less than Kentucky).

For electoral votes add in the 20 senators.

However, I find it unliely that PEI would ever be allowed to be a state. Given the complaints about the electoral strength of WY, I can't imagine the US admitting a state with 1/4 of the population.

OTOH, the other Maritimes would make an interesting balance to the small Rockies and Plains states. The success of Democrats there would dampen concern about the undue power of small states in the EC.
