Just curious, what's the reason for it needing to be 13 states?

There are 10 provinces and 3 territories. Most of the provinces could make states, PEI and territories are too small.

Making Canada one huge state would be stupid, even more than annexing Canada.

Ah so mostly just absorbing structures as is. I was thinking there was some obscure annexation law or something from a long time ago I wasn't aware of.

Fully agreed.

The territories are enormous. And since under the American system, land, not people get votes, they should absolutely have 2 senators each.
