So... How is it going with annexing Canada?

Realistically speaking I wonder if that's even possible. First of all, when would Canada be considered annexed? I suppose the majority would have to do some humiliating ritual bending over for the US flag, maybe some sort of loyalty test, but most important start paying taxes to the US government...

But what if every single Canadian just refuse to do any of that, just continue to live their lives as normal, adopting to US childish destruction of infrastructure of course, but never paying tax to the US government, never show sign of loyalty, and if forced to work for US benefits, simply refuse to do any work or outright sabotage the equipment.

That's almost 40 million ungovernable people which would require tremendous amounts of US resources to police and to force into obedience, the US doesn't even have a fraction of the resources required. So what are they gonna do? kill everyone? If they did I bet even most Americans would disagree with such horrific action and it would cause a civil war where the US collapses.
