St. Pierre and Miquelon taken by Canada after France falls

There were 4400 people living there at the time, mostly in St Pierre. My wife has relatives there, and brought back some marvellous cognac, duty free. I've only seen it from both sides, but didn't take the ferry from Fortune. The concept of shipping in Canadians to live there, Soviet or Nazi-style, is fairly ludicrous because they should want to be there, and they would have to have something to do when they got there. It's biggest value is as a fishing port, and a way to impose fishing rights. Canada wasn't, and had no reason to be, interested in annexing the islands, except as a Fresian-style staging point to invade the Burin peninsula and eventually take The Rock, bye.

Do you belief an arrangment similar to the Channel Islands or the Isle of Man would be acceptable?

Do you mean that the Germans should station E-boats from St Pierre? The Isle of Man has a government. St Pierre barely has something like a mayor.
 
OTL, Britain, Canada and the United States exhibited no interest in changing their status. Their heritage was French, the mayor's sympathy was Vichy, the general population largely Free French. Their interest was to continue living as they had, without any influence on, or from the war. There was no interest in becoming a British territory among the population, and no interest in Britain to establish it. If they wanted, they could have got into their dory and rowed to Point aux Gaul on the Burin. That village lost it's French presence in 1909, when the Frenchman died. I stood on the site of his house with the man, boy at the time, who brought him his tea that fateful day. Heritage is not a small thing, and taking it away just doesn't seem proper nowadays. A bit barbaric. Besides, there wasn't any profit in it.
