Which US state would fit best into Canada? (houses, metro area) - General U.S. - City-Data Forum

Culturally, economically, weather-wise, in terms of built environment, etc.

I know there’s no great fit, but if I had to pick one it would be Minnesota.

I saw this in my list of new threads and immediately thought "Minnesota" myself.

Minnesota to me as well.

Vermont for sure. Politically, culturally, climate, all of that.

My guess would be Minnesota or Vermont.

Washington.

Aside from the fact that it borders Canada, I’m not really seeing it. Eastern WA and the rural parts of Western WA have a distinctly American redneck/conservative vibe to me, and the way the Seattle metro area sprawls doesn’t feel very typically Canadian.

Maine? Particularly northern Maine?

Certainly a strong connection to the Maritimes, the rocky coasts, lighthouses, fishing villages all very similar to Nova Scotia. I think Vermont has more of a kinship to Quebec (dairy farms, maple syrup, similar landscapes). I mean is there really a wrong answer for any state that borders Canada? Montana is worlds away from Quebec or the Maritimes, but I'm sure its very similar to Alberta with both having the Rocky Mountains, prairies, energy industries, etc.
