The thing is, and maybe this makes me a "bad" Canadian, but if Canada were to be occupied and annexed by the U.S., I probably wouldn't resist that hard. It would be a lost cause and I would rather be alive as an American than dead as a Canadian. Don't get me wrong, it would suck hard, but we would adapt and in the big picture, life would go on. The majority of Americans are like us in practically most meaningful ways. As a state or collection of states, we would still have the ability to control a lot of our domestic policy.
The main issue, and it is a big one, is the thought of the militia types using it as a chance rape, loot and murder. You just know that there would be some of those people joining in.
I think an annexation of Canada would probably resemble an Anschluss more than a war. If similar regimes took power in both countries, like Freedumb Trumpists, I could see them pushing that kind of agenda.
