Considering that most states are no where near Canada and probably aren’t under any impression that their state could ever realistically join Canada, that’s quite a large amount.
Keep in mind how the US tends to split when voting. Both sides of the country tend to separate from the middle, where land votes.
I’d bet you can get 10 consecutive states from Canada on both sides through Washington/Oregon/Cali and New England down the coast a bit.
Michigan and Minnesota. With California and NY (50/50) state, GDP of Canada could be higher than remaining US.
Well I mean Alaska is already well inside Canada, why can’t the opposite happen? /s
There is likely high variance per state. Secession is definitely an easier path than a vote splitting alternative to DNC to escape their zionisist first agenda, which has so far meant supporting Trump in only important vote.
Making cars/everything expensive for all Americans in the hope of more localized jobs in 5 years is a big ask for everyone not getting those jobs, or for complete failure with severe recession.

That tracks. I currently have better regard for Canada than I do the US, and while Canada has problems like anywhere else, they’re not charitably described as “your countrymen elected a felon who already did a bad job” as president. And the healthcare system is just… Better.

There are two kinds of people that think our healthcare system in the US is great.
The rich who can just pay for whatever they need.
Those that never utilize the system at all in any form beyond maybe basic checkups.
Absolutely anyone else can tell you the entire thing is a shit show. Especially those that work within the system. There will always be some living in denial, just like there were pro-COVID nurses and doctors, but the vast majority will tell you the system is broken by design.
