A new blue state with 40 million people? I don't think he's thought this through very well.
Canada isn't as blue as you think unfortunately
According to a Leger poll, 64% of Canadians would vote for Kamala Harris, while 21% would support Donald Trump, with 15% undecided. Conservative voters in Canada were nearly evenly split, with 42% supporting Harris and 45% backing Trump.

Trump would lose the election if Canada were a state, barring any electoral college shenanigans.
Electoral college logic: Alberta gets its own statehood and 25 votes, BC gets 4 votes because it gets absorbed into Washington State, and the Victoria and Olympia Reps have to share one chair in Congress because they couldn't buy another one somehow.
