If Canada was part of the US

I was wondering, if Canada was part of the United States and the ten provinces were made into ten states, which provinces would be more Democratic, which more Republican and which would be swing states?

They wouldn't necessarily have to switch.  Since the US doesn't have parliamentary government, there wouldn't be as much advantage to being in the majority party, as being on the winning side on specific issues.  So members of Congress might continue to stand as members of the traditional Canadian parties.  The NDP might try to organize in major US cities, where races would be contested on a NDP vs. Democrat basis.

At the presidential level, support might be organized on an ad hoc basis, with promaries to elect delegates to the Democrat and Republican conventions, but without a formal tie to the Canadian parties.  The NDP might run its own candidate.

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.

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.
