  • There are so many internal threats to the US from a Canadian invasion.

    • Canadians living in the US, estimates put that number around 800k or so.
    • Canadians travelling in the US, at least another couple hundred thousand, could be more at certain times of the year.
    • Americans who used to be Canadian, probably more than the PR number to be honest.
    • Americans with direct Canadian ties, millions.
    • Americans with significant Canadian sympathies, tens of millions.

    Then there’s the Canadians who would sneak into the US during such an event, either for safety or to cause problems. No functional amount of US military presence could protect any useful amount of it, and once across the border blending in is super fucking easy.

    Then we’ll just recreate 1812 and burn the White House down after we evacuate all the people.

    It wouldn’t be quite as bad as a full US civil war, but it would be damn close.












  • Money spent on soldiers, bases, equipment, etc. would be absolutely useless when the US Military simply double tap every single military base in the country in the first 10 minutes. There are only 27 across Canada. Even if we added 100 new bases to spread things out they could easily do the same thing still. We are far too close, and the military capability difference is absurdly ridiculous.

    The two possible things I could think of that would realistically make the US think twice, a) handing out guns and training to civilians en masse and b) a PR campaign to the US population (and military) that may lead to a refusal to invade by the troops.

    I’m pretty sure A isn’t going to happen.
