One would expect the new province to experience a general convergence to Canadian norms over time, so the median American household's wealth would almost double - more at purchasing power parity. The maternal mortality rate would drop by about 62%, and the homicide rate by about 70%. Everybody would have health insurance, the aggregate health costs would halve, and life expectancy would rise by almost four years. The fraction of the population living in absolute poverty ($2.15/day in 2017 dollars at purchasing power parity) would drop by 83%. Elections would include a peaceful transfer of power.
