As godawful as everything is, I still find it very hard to believe that any more than 10% of the US military would follow orders to actually attack Canada. I really hope I'm not just naive.

The propaganda to encourage USians to see us as the enemy has already begun in full force. Don't expect them to grow spines anytime soon.
I hope you're not too, but I believe you probably are. All these ridiculous orders they're giving? People are carrying them out without hesitation all across the US. They dumped billions of gallons of reservoir water from California for no reason. They keep letting DOGE into their spaces and just letting them do whatever they want. Nobody in the US has the spine to stand up to authority and I will not risk having any faith that they'll suddenly remember it when people trained to follow orders and shoot are told to follow orders and shoot.
Unfortunately, militaries are built around getting people to follow orders regardless of how they feel about them.
Many of the Russian soldiers invading Ukraine had Ukrainian family members.
The US military is not going to save Canada from the US military. The US would likely not even send troops until they'd already flattened our main cities with hellfire missiles. We would poison pill many of our resources though. It would be FLQ 2 electric boogaloo.
They would never disobey their “commander in chief” no matter how demented.
A US invasion of Canada would likely lead to either the secession of the blue wall states or nothing, depending on how the political opposition acts. And the political opposition is the Dems, so I wouldn't get my hopes up unless things get really bad in the US first.
