In order to make this work Canadians should vote for this as a referendum and approve joining the US, Provinces on equal par with current States only with a 75% voting consensus.
The will of the Canadian people should drive this, and full allegiance to the USA should be a non-negotiable requirement. We will not put maple leaves on the US flag to substitute for stars that represent the other states.
Respective Provinces which would become States should hold the referendum in their individual Provinces. It should not be all-or-nothing prospect -- If Quebec wants to go its own way, let it. They can call themselves the nation of Quebec if they want. The USA can absorb all the rest of Provinces and territories with Canadian citizen 75% referendum as the formal construct of Canada is dissolved in favor of unity with the United States.
That's ignoring our Constitution.....they would have to be territories first. Most of America has no idea what our Constitution says.
Fine. Be territories before being admitted as states. Go through the formality. What provision in the Constitution places a time frame on how long a land mass must exist as a territory before it can be admitted as a State? If none, it could be as simple as signing a territoriality agreement immediately followed by admission into the Union as a petition for Statehood. As someone wrote elsewhere on this thread, when the US was founded and still functioning under the Articles of Confederation, there was a provision for Canada to be able to freely join the US if it so chose, and to do so without requiring further permissions from the colonies.
Your point does not materially impact the substance of what my proposal is.
