Another one of my favorite AH cliches (or is it a trope?)

CANADA MUST PERISH!
*Disclaimer: Canada must not actually perish

This is somewhat of a broad topic, so we may bleed a bit into post-1900 territory here.
  1. If there is no War of 1812 (and no American invasion), do you think that any of the British North American colonies could/would have eventually joined the Union?
  2. Could Quebec ever successfully be a U.S. state?
  3. Could the U.S. have ended up with British Columbia, and if so, what would happen to the East?
  4. Under what conditions (if any) would Newfoundland have seriously considered U.S. statehood?
  5. When do you believe is the latest that an American invasion of Canada (and/or war against the U.K.) is a remotely plausible scenario?
  6. What level of civil resistance are we going to see if the U.K. "abandons" Canada to U.S. annexation/occupation?
  7. What sort of regional identity would an American Canada have? (Dixie 2: The Great White Boogaloo?)
  8. What would a rump/puppet Canada look like if the U.S. decided not to outright annex it?
I do realize that answers to some of these questions would vary greatly depending on when the events took place.
That said, I wanted to keep it somewhat broad to discuss a wider variety of possible scenarios.
