Well take the Prairie provinces and the Maritimes, they can have NYC and California.

Texas? Like hell.

Fun fact, we used to be friends. The star on our flag was in solidarity with Texas.
"...I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can't agree with your methods of direct action;" who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a "more convenient season." -MLK Jr.

Because we've got military bases. You try to take statehood from your navy, good luck.

Considering how much California gives to the federal government, how much it's underrepresented at federal level and how much conservatives bitch and moan about it, I'm not sure why the state as a whole doesn't wants to change it's relationship with the federal government.

Good for them. Again, the military ain’t a state, and has nothing to do with the state hood of a region or not.
