Annexing Canada ..would be a catyastroph...25 million voters, most of whom would immediately become yellow-dog Democrats. Not necessarily. There's a strong conservative resistance that we don't usually hear about down here. Check out Republic of Alberta.

Accept Canada as a possesion. Do not grant statehood. No Senators or Representatives and no electoral votes. Works for Puerto Rico ,the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, etc.
