Let’s assume Britain did collapse and become a German occupied country in WWII. (Had Hitler and Goering not been such idiots, it might have happened)
Was not Canada a possession of the British Empire at that time? Would not land possessions like any other possession, such as their naval fleet, been subject to a ceasefire settlement?
If Britain’s defeat caused them to give up their entire empire, then Canada could have been a huge Nazi base as well as a source of oil and other goodies.
Now if that were possible, I doubt if the Canadians would have just folded.
But if the Canadians were somehow coerced into folding, then the US could have followed Churchill’s example of blasting the French fleet by invading Canada before the Nazi’s could come over and set up shop.
The US would take over Canada in that case.
Interesting story about St Pierre et Miquelon, which is a French territory off the coast of Newfoundland.

Once my friends and I made a huge war game and re-fought WW II. I played the Axis. I invaded Argentina (that joined me) and hit Brazil—Then Marched north. Mexico joined me and we invaded Texas and the Mississippi River Valley. Their was a terrible battle at Chicago. I also invade England. Got the bomb and took out New York and Washington. Still, I was pushed back and after three days I lost the game. But it was fun and I learned a large amont of geography—not bad for a 12 year old.
Haha, the Germans feared the Canadian soldiers far above all else. Canada would never of folded.
They would of had to come in from Mexico.

Boeing began work on pressurized long-range bombers in 1938, in response to a United States Army Air Corps request. Boeing’s design study for the Model 334 was a pressurized derivative of the Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress with nosewheel undercarriage. Although the Air Corps did not have money to pursue the design, Boeing continued development with its own funds as a private venture.[4] The Air Corps issued a formal specification for a so-called “superbomber”, capable of delivering 20,000 lb (9,100 kg) of bombs to a target 2,667 mi (4,290 km) away and capable of flying at a speed of 400 mph (640 km/h) in December 1939. Boeing’s previous private venture studies formed the starting point for its response to this specification.[5]
Boeing submitted its Model 345 on 11 May 1940,[6] in competition with designs from Consolidated Aircraft (the Model 33, later to become the B-32),[7] Lockheed (the Lockheed XB-30),[8] and Douglas (the Douglas XB-31).[9] Douglas and Lockheed soon abandoned work on their projects, but Boeing received an order for two flying prototypes, given the designation XB-29, and an airframe for static testing on 24 August 1940,
Canada was a dominion, which meant self-government. Remember that Canada declared war on the Germans one week after the UK did — as a sign of independence
Interesting. If Germany had indeed been able to conquer Great Britain, the most likely eventuality would have been an occupation of Canada by the United States. The Canadians would probably have welcomed it, considering the alternative.
Quite likely, the Canadian provinces would have eventually joined the U.S. as states, along with Alaska and Hawaii. You could then drive from Miami Beach to Anchorage, Alaska without having to go through customs!
