Jesusland
I often wonder why none of the Canadian colonies joined the USA rather than remain under British rule, particularly Quebec, which has no traditional loyalty to the British monarchs. (I hear that Canadian First Nations peoples consider their treaty to be with the crown, rather than the ever-changing government, which is interesting. But I assume they had little influence, if any, back then.) Surely at that stage it would have seemed like a good idea, they couldn't have even suspected what the USA would become.
Then the other day I saw this amusing map:
It's pretty simple really, the blue states join Canada.
This one is more complicated but probably more accurate:
Alberta (Canada's Texas) and Saskatchewan join Jesusland while Mexico takes back California, Arizona, Nevada and Utah. (I guess they were all once part of Mexico. California still has a demographic that would warrant that return but I don't know how Utah and all the Mormons would fit in in Mexico.)
Maybe I'm taking this a little too seriously.

Mormons would be in kind of a hard way under a map like this, but little more then they are now. While in many ways Mormons are similar to Evangelicals,in terms of their traditional morality and tendency toward conservative politces, the Latter-day Saints are viewed as a non-christen cult by many of those same protastants. Today the core-Mormon states of Utah, Idaho, and Wyoming are the only ones in which the President recives a more then 50% approval raiting. I belive in Utah it's still over 60%. As a liberal Mormon, I kind of shutter.
Perhaps, out of respect, Canada United By States might be more appropriate since Canada would be doing the blue States a favor by taking us under their wing
