what would even be different?

The Republicans would immediately become unelectable, for starters, because you'd be adding a lot of population that skews much further left politically than any part of the US. And most of us would be extremely pissed off.

On our side, we'd be getting issues we really do not want with health care (and social services in general) and with gun control.

It would likely all end in guerilla warfare. Or worse. Overall, it's a bad deal for both sides.

he did say that Canada would be annexed with no representation... so no worries about left shift... also think that whatever party would be in power that surrenders to POTUS47 would immediately become local unelectable pariah, considering polls currently it'd be Libs. So the pressure is rather to push for Cons... what they can't comprehend is that Canada is not US and it creates some serious pusback

The US could not stop us from committing mass voter fraud. A large percentage of the Canadian population consists of English-speaking white people with accents that are pretty much the same as a large swathe of the United States—the group of people that receive the least scrutiny in most parts of the US. It's unlikelly they would even be questioned when attempting to vote. (That's also what makes potential guerilla warfare so messy.)
