You are correct in assuming that each will overlay the other.  The
only way I know of currently to do it is to use the Canadian online
maps, but use USGS geoTIFF local maps.  The geoTIFF code will crop
off the white border, so all you have to do in that case is make
sure the Canadian maps load first by setting the level or having
them earlier in the search order.
