Same with us, if Maine were to join, they should join and stay as Maine. They would never join to be part of New Brunswick. If that were the case it would be off the table.

What exactly are you basing your opinion on? Maine would never want to be a part of New Brunswick if it meant escaping another century of American partisan politics? I suggest you consult an archive of the electoral college… Maine has been solidly Democratic for a long time. The only person being disrespectful to Maine right now is Donald Trump.
Even if they did just join as their own province, number 11, it would still be a huge boost to New Brunswick and Atlantic Canada as a whole.
I’d say Maine has a better chance at voting to join Canada than Quebec will ever have again at voting to secede from Canada.
