You even got that wrong. No one proposed taking over Canada, it was about the Oregon Territory, and Polk negotiated a resolution. This is from the site you linked (did you bother to read it?): Through negotiations with the British after Polk's inauguration, the boundary between the U.S. and British Canada was established at 49° with the Treaty of Oregon in 1846. The exception to the 49th parallel boundary is that it turns south in the channel separating Vancouver Island with the mainland and then turns south through the Juan de Fuca Strait. This maritime portion of the boundary wasn't officially demarcated until 1872. The boundary established by the Oregon Treaty still exists today between the United States and independent Canada.
