American invasion of Canada would spark decades-long insurgency, expert predicts (www.ctvnews.ca)

If U.S. President Donald Trump fails in his stated goal of annexing Canada through economic force, what would happen if he ordered the world’s most powerful military to invade?

Some experts and academics say it’s a notion too preposterous to even contemplate. But Aisha Ahmad isn’t one of them.

“When you look at the power (imbalance) between the U.S. and Canada, an invasion would immediately result in the defeat of the Canadian Armed Forces,” said the University of Toronto political science professor, who last month published an essay on the subject in The Conversation.

“But a conventional military victory is not the end of this story. It’s just the beginning.”

Neither will the Americans that decide to help you guys. Trump and Co seem to forget that the right hasn't had a monopoly on guns for a long time in this country. The left just doesn't make it our entire personality.

BTW, I'm pretty sure you patriotic Canadians can still legally purchase old APCs and BMPs from our stockpiles. Might wanna get a few for each town near the border. At least I'm pretty sure it would be legal for you to buy them down here. Dunno if Canada would have something to say about that. Tell Canada they're for the mounties, lol.

If they wanna fuck around with Canada, they'll find out. Same for Mexico.
