Let the GOP force them to become a state. They'd get 2 senate seats and more electoral college votes and congressional seats than any other state. Just in time for the Dems to run on deannexing Canada.

Territories are still citizens, who can vote when they reside in states. If 2-3% of Canada immigrated, that's 1 million people, which would shift the balance in a lot of places.

Of course, even if you shifted 10 seats in the Senate, the democrats would probably give republicans half the budget and let them write their own bills in the name of bipartisanship (again), and you'd quickly become as hopeless as the average american is in the democrats helping them.
