At the end of the day, Canada is many things. But above all else, we’re a bunch of grudge holding motherfuckers. You’ve taken your shot at us, so now we won’t rest until we get you back.

It’s such a shame Canada never saw the need to advance their military technology beyond muskets and smoothbores or they’d be able to do something anyways.
Actually, a bunch of smoothbore cannons would still work, I think.
Do you know how impossible it would be to invade canada? It would be the most damaging war of attrition ever fought. Our population is so spread out, our land border is huge, and we could keep moving around high value targets/waging guerrilla style warfare basically endlessly. Its not like theres many chokepoints or strategic locations that could be very easily held onto. Just look at ukraine and imagine that but way worse. Plus having to defend your own border against people who look and speak just like you and could disappear into your population effortlessly. The resistance would destroy the US and probably end up with them turning on their own population.
Currently we rank 28th of 145 in terms of military strength.
There’s some reporting that may or may not be reliable (hence not linked,) saying that there’s plans in place to fight against American invasion. Everything I’ve seen, and the little I’ve discussed with my friends in the Canadian forces, seems to suggest a quick response to buy time for the majority of our forces to arm and equip themselves, then to fight a guerrilla war. We’re under staffed, underfunded (relatively speaking,) but highly trained, and extremely motivated. That’s not taking into account the fact that there’s a largeish portion of the population who are registered gun owners (roughly 25% national population,) the majority of those being long rifles. A history of an avid hunting culture across the whole country, means likely formation of militia groups doing ambush sniping, and lots of strikes on logistics and infrastructure.
We also have a lot of new citizens and PRs who were active in the Bosnian conflict, fighting for both sides. All this would make invading Canada initially easy, and then a long slow bleed.
But wtf do I know, I’ve never served, and I’m just a Stone Mason. Thanks for coming to my TedTalk…
