Would the rest of NATO be obliged to defend Canada?

Also, I assume the idea is to annex failed states, not functioning ones.

Yes NATO would be obliged to defend Canada, but the U.S. would probably give them an out by saying that we are not really invading but fulfilling the long-held desire of true Canadians to join the United States.
