AH Challenge: Canada joins the USA

Seriously? I'm a patriot, and I always enjoy a good wank for America as much as any other nation, but this is getting bloody insulting.
At least give a reason HOW this happens instead of just saying so based on fantasy.

Unexpected Communist revolution in Canada (perhaps involving Soviet support for the FLQ and any other crazies they can find) leading to conventional invasion by the US, installation of a puppet state, and finally annexation.
Alternatively, the US baby boom gets even bigger (maybe more post-war immigration somehow?), or civil rights goes all the way earlier. As a result, a crapload of Americans (probably white ones) move to Canada. Enough move in, in fact, to make common cause with any existing annexationist sentiment in Canada (I doubt it was anything that had to be taken seriously in OTL, but there were still probably a few supporters) and get their people voted into power, after which they vote to join the US.

I respect Canada. Great White North is funny. Twelve Bottles of Beer is hilarious. Canada is good, just kinda tempting as a target for Ameriwank.
To this Canuck, he's already gone beyond insulting and into parody trolling and the reason why I have him on ignore.
As for the OT - after 1946 and before 1969? Without a nuke war?
Can't be done unless we're talking about some kind of mega-disaster or civil war and even then that's still very iffy. Borderline ASB pretty much.
I was going to hope that he is some kind of stealth parody...
Anyway, I agree, without some kind of super disaster (nukes or asteroid) it isn't going to happen.
Also, if anyone, and I MEAN ANYONE, mentions the October Crisis, I will punch them in the face.
I remember reading somewhere that if the Nazi's ever were able pull a successful sea mammal or if the Soviets ever came to rule all of Europe then the US and Canada (or at least just the US) would have dissolved their (it's) border(s). I don't remember where I read it, I don't know if it's true or just some fun idea on the author's part. But I suppose that if the latter of those two were to happen then you could have Canada Join the US.
Or you could have the British do far worse when it comes to decolonization leading to the dominions going even further with independence. Canada then decides to throw it's lot with the US form a close(er) friendship. eventually this leads to the two countries eventually merging.

The Soviets triumph in even more of Europe; West Germany and Italy also become Communist and Communists overthrow Franco in Spain. This results in Socialist violence in Britain and eventually a revolution there too. The British Commonwealth now collapses and Canada decides that joining the US is the best way to survive.
Exactly. We like the Canadians enought to want to make them a part of the US.
Perhaps this could be combined with that other thread where we have a more socially liberal USSR, causeing the Americans to become more Conservative, more militant, and perhaps even drive them on the great fight and invade Canada in the late sixties. A stretch I know, but the only other one even remotly close to this has to have a POD before 1946
