How about we start by making Puerto Rico and DC states
They don't want to do that, those would both add solidly democratic senators, and likely permanently cost them the Senate.
Not like Canada and Greenland, which are notoriously conservative and would vote for Republicans consistently. Ignore the comparatively liberal policies, those aren't related. Quebec and Greenland in particular are just chomping at the bit to jump on Republican mainstays like adopting English as the one true and official language of the US.
They would need to make Alberta like 35 new states to prevent this from steamrolling any potential Republican elect
Alberta may be conservative by Canadian standards, but I think they'll end up as a collection of blue states if you did that. America is quite far to the right ward on average.
