The Canadian military relies heavily on the US partnership, not to mention the average urban Canadian has never seen, held or heard a firearm, as much as liked to say that we have a chance it’s certainly would be a slim one.

Forget the Canadian military, if the US couldn't defeat the Taliban with NATO help, what hope do they have against Canadians without it?

Canadians aren't even a different skin color - what is the US going to do, stop and question every white person with a gun? Every white person traveling long distances in a car?

Oh hey look now the Rocky Mountains are impassable by land because there are Canadian resistance hidden in caves all the way down to Mexico. But surely the western seaboard and its population will be loyal to Trump, right?

And so it goes. An invasion of Canada would dissolve the USA in a few years.

One major difference. Canada has had more Intel and data integration with the US for much much longer than Iraq or Afghanistan. This means palantir and other Intel gathering companies have far, far more shit on Canadians that might have an inkling of resistance against the US, and do not think they will spare or be nicer to Canadians. They will absolutely round up everyone they can or their families. It will actually be harder for Canadians to fight back than the others.

But the opposite is also true, and it's much easier for Canadians to counter attack on US soil than for anyone else.
