If Puerto Rico or Guam/NMI became states would this help the annexation cause? Seeing the union expand and to include a state dominated by 4 million Latinos make people in Quebec more open to the idea of annexation? Or would Canadians view this as some BS American imperalism and thinking the U.S. is going to do something retarded like invade Canada. Or would people in Canada care less about this overall, or would they be glad that they did become a state/s or would they be angry?

I high-jacked that from an old thread where we discussed Puerto Rico on this forum a few years ago. (Hope the links still work.) If the trends over the last half century continue to hold out, eventual Statehood for Puerto Rico is a foregone conclusion. (For comparison, just 40 years ago less than 20% of Puerto Ricans supported Statehood.)

That bit of statistics out of the way, it will be interresting to see how Canadians react when Puerto Rico becomes a State. Perhaps it will serve to shine a light for Quebecers as to a path where their culture and right to self-rule at the State level would be less impeded than it currently is by the Canadian federal? I don't really think it will do much, though. I would think that Quebecers are already aware that there are large Hispanic and Latino communities operating within the framework of the US system. (In fact in pure numbers, I think the US Hispanic and Latino communities outnumber the entire Canadian population.)
