Well, Canada is slightly larger than the United States and we have 10 Province and 3 Territories. You have 50 States and Alaska is the largest. Alaska is 570,374 square miles. Texas is the second largest at 262,840 square miles.
Quebec is the largest Province at 595,391 square miles and Ontario is the second largest at 415,598 square miles.
So consider this - Quebec is 2 and quarter times the size of Texas. Not all of it is habitable mind you.
Betcha ya didn't know that about your neighbours to the North, eh? ;-)
