    Invade with what?

    Didn’t they waste all their armament on Iran? And I doubt U.S. soldiers would actually follow that kind of order without any objection. They’re stupid, but not that stupid.

    However. Maybe it’s time I apply for that gun license…

      Realistically, the US could still defeat us pretty quickly, militarily. The ensuing Canadian insurgency though, that’s another matter. It’d be like Iraq all over again.

        USA has shown time and time again that they can do absolutely nothing against a barely structured insurgency. If the canadian military has been paying the slightest bit of attention for the past 70 years, they know not to defend against USA by conventional methods.

          Population of Iraq: 48 million

          Population of Canada: 41 million

          Area of Iraq: 438,000 km²

          Area of Canada: 9.98 million km²

          US-Iraq Border: 0 km

          US-Canada Border: 8,900 km

          A US invasion of Canada would make Iraq look like a pleasant afternoon picnic in the park.

            Plus, Iraq was an incompetent, unpopularely totalitarian dictatorship. And that’s before you even go to the cultural and ethnic advantages we’d have as guerillas against the US.
