Map created by reddit user enigbertThe map above shows the US states and territories with the closest population to Canada’s various provinces and territories.

Looking at the map you can see why Trump wants Canada, who wouldn’t want a second Alabama or New Jersey?

Provinces with their Replacements:

1. Alberta (4.9 million): Alabama (5.2 million), note Kentucky (4.6 million) would be slightly closer
2. British Columbia (5.7 million): Minnesota  (5.8 million), South Carolina (5.5 million) would be slightly closer
3. Manitoba (1.5 million): Hawaii (1.4 million), note Maine and New Hampshire each also have 1.4 million people.
4. New Brunswick (854k): North Dakota (797k)
5. Newfoundland and Labrador (545k): (587k)
6. Nova Scotia (1.1 million): Delaware 1.1 million, note Rhode Island also has 1.1 million people
7. Ontario (16.1 million): New York (19.9 million), note Pennsylvania at 13.1 million people is slightly closer in size
8. Prince Edward Island (179k): Guam (173k)
9. Quebec (9.1 million): New Jersey (9.5 million) or Kentucky (4.6 million)  + Louisiana (4.6 million), note Virginia at 8.8 million is slightly closer
10. Saskatchewan (1.2 million): Montana (1.1 million)

Note population figures are estimates for 2024.

Territories:

1. Northwest Territories (44k): Northern Mariana (47k)
2. Nunavut (41k): American Samoa (50k)
3. Yukon (47k): US Virgin Islands (87k)

So overall a good map, and interesting there are so many states so close in size to Canadian provinces.

What do you think should the US add these 10 new states?
