If you think it's unfair that the 300 000 people in Wyoming get the same number of Senate seats as California's 30 million, wait until Nunavut's 28 000 have their say.

Why do you think your territories wouldn't be territories in the US? They don't get any representation in Congress.

Brown people don't get their own states in the US. They get territories, in perpetuity.

It looks like...73? So the total would be up to...about 610.

Even if we discard the territories,
Ontario gets 2 senators and 19 congressmen
Quebec gets 2 senators and 11 congressmen
BC gets 2 senators and 6 congressmen
Alberta gets 2 senators and 5 congressmen
Manitoba, Saskatchewan and NS get 2 senators and 2 congressmen
NB, PEI, and Nfld get 2 senators and 1 congressman
That adds up to 70 electoral votes.

I don't think the real problem would be electoral votes or any such constitutional issues.
I think the real issue would be Native bands across the country who would go ape **** at the thought of being 'absorbed'.

Actually, they have the treaties.
They signed on to the Crown. They did not sign on to the inheritors of Custer.

I'd hardly notice, it seems like the majority of this town exists merely to give me indigestion.
What is the sound of left wing flapping?
Boulder
