I can live with that. Alberta will give us some conservatives, but most new representatives (even from Alberta) will be further left than the conservatives we have here.
And 435 isn't necessarily fixed. The Constitution just says you can't have more than 1 per 30K people. It doesn't give an upper limit on the size of the House. So we could add another hundred or so representatives if we wanted to. I've often though we should do that anyway, even without absorbing Canada. Our population is 300M+, but we have the same number of representatives we had when the population <100M (in 1912, when AZ and NM were admitted).
