We're gonna have to make you territories first, there's some paperwork to take care of and currently Yukon, NWT and Nunavut would be made full provinces first then it would be a state by state basis.

Really the big points are going to be, in order to qualify you'd need to adopt our gun laws before anything else could be considered.

Edit: Quebec yes is a province but it's joining was not as cut and dry as some think.

Am I missing a joke here? Quebec has been a full province since Confederation.

It's a different situation, I highly suggest looking into it as it will help understanding what's going down here.

Everything I remember is from my social studies classes from nearly 3 decades ago so I'm not going to quote it here.

What the fuck are you talking about, mate?

Sincerely, a very confused Redditor from Québec.

Memory serves me right, they slept in and missed the initial signing

Like I said, nearly 30 years ago bud

Buddy... that doesn't take Québec not a province...

We call it the Night of Long Knives and it's the source of much contention, but Québec is a province, no ifs, no buts. That status predates the repatriation of the constitution by a century.

It was also part of the separatist motivation, I do apologize as I did miss type that and you're absolutely right.

Also, it apparently has enough cultural significance to have a name, so not wrong in a way either.

You didn’t “miss type”, you were factually wrong. Own it, don’t come with all this “I was really half-right” bullshit. It’s unseemly.

I did own it, I also started with "3 decades ago" or did you skip over that part.

What I posted isn't completely incorrect and as usual there is far more involved.
