An interesting thing about this map, the way these lines are drawn would all but guarantee conservative victories for a long, long time.
A bunch of extra, barely inhabited states, to give two extra electoral votes and a handful of senators to conservatives. I wonder if whoever drew this is aware that most Canadian conservatives are closer to American Democrats than American conservatives.
Yeah, any questionable voting area will get Puerto Rico’d.
Good eye. Ontario is left as is so I guess they want another California in terms of population to seat ratio.
outside of the far right / populist MAGA copycats in the People's Party of Canada, and a certain strain of Albertan Separatist types. Most Canadian Conservatives are leftists compared to the US parties.
even Pierre Pollievre who canadians are labeling as a Trump puppet, is openly supportive of many policies the GOP would crucify people for, like abortion, gay marriage, etc.
Meanwhile, all 117 million people in the Philippines get one state. I think you're right.
Edit: looks like it may be two, making each one comparable with California.
