Canada and Mexico will definitely be blamed for fentanyl crisis in America.

My feeling is that annexation of Canada is unlikely to happen militarily, they'd just use increasingly aggressive economic negotiations to turn us into a total puppet state instead of the partial puppet state we are now.

What would America gain from direct control of Canada? I guess direct control over more of the arctic. End softwood lumber 'subsidies'. Their corporations have pretty much free reign here.

I can imagine a fascist America occupying Mexican territory 'defensively'. And then waging a 'defensive' war against the cartels which results in more and more territory being occupied. But again, puppet state as the ultimate goal. They don't want to enfranchise Canadians let alone "Mexicans". (Scare quotes).
