I’m also intrigued by the thought of treaties vs. conquest. I have no idea about the particulars of the treaty, but an agreement in perpetuity is a bad idea. If conquest were in fact the only way to change this...

Well, it is open to the parties to renegotiate a treaty or negotiate new ones.
With respect to conquest to extinguish (constitutionally-protected) treaty rights, I suspect the group of Canadians who find this to be a remotely palatable option in 2020 is vanishingly small.
