In the historical expansions of the US, there was often a sizeable delay in annexing a new territory and granting even the white males in those territories (not even considering women or natives or blacks) suffrage. In Alaska the delay was almost 100 years, in Hawaii it was more than 50 years, and in the Louisiana purchase the delay varied but was at least 9 years.
So there is a chance that if there is annexation, I, as a Canadian citizen, may not live long enough to vote in a US election.
