Canada has quite a few allies that would prevent it... also, Canada is still technically part of the monarchy, so it would be an attack on England too.

There is nothing Canada could do, but China and Europe would intervene for sure if Canada didn't want the annexation to occur.

The thing that would prevent it is US Generals refusing to carry out the orders.

That too. The fall of (western) Rome was its generals not cooperating.

We're actually way friendlier with Russia than the US(Bitter hockey rivalry rather than leftover Cold War feelings), so in this hypothetical, unless Putin puts forth his plan for world domination, it would likely be Canada and Russia teaming up against the US, Trump/Putin lovefest aside.

This is all true but I'm not even including all the backup Canada would get. From China to the UK to everyone else..... The US would eventually withdraw before they ever absorbed the whole of a defiant Canada. Could they withdraw the border? Easily. Could they absorb the entire nation? Fuck no they'd give up and withdraw years if it decades before that happened.

Just leaving this here. If I travel to any country wearing a Canadian pin I'm treated like royalty. The same can't be said about an American pin.

Not personally saying anything bad about America, but it has done quite a few things to piss people off over the years.

Pretty much. It would essentially be China/Commenwealth/France/Maybe Russia VS the US. It would be like the ending scene from The Hobbit in a real hurry.

Lol. Pretty much.

Also my first withdraw should've said redraw.

The US military machine is undeniable but all the same the US military track record historically is.... About Like the 2018 Habs.

Dude. Canada is an integral part of the reason the NRA exists. One of the cofounders was Canadian. It came to be specifically because America needed help to train decent marksmen. Seriously. Look it up.

Plus we got the best snipers.

Guys, no one is going to directly help Canada in a war versus the US. The USA is the most powerful country in the world military and they are invading a country that only borders them. No one will have a chance of getting their army to North America. The only country that may have a chance is China if they can switch to a wartime economy AND their population doesn't revolt. Fat chance of that happening though, most Chinese aren't going to want to go back to Mao era quality of life just to save Canada.

Nice try buddy. Canada was a United Kingdom puppet back then.

Also, British regulars burned down the White House, not people from Canada. (Since Canadians LOVE to bring that "fact" up.)

It's possible they go in it not to defend Canada, but stop the US from claiming it so they can split it up like Germany post-WW2. Canada sits in a fuckton of natural resources.

They previously had the Crimea under the USSR, the US never controlled Canadian space afaik


So that's the reason no one did anything?

Canada is like number 1 3 and 4 for current record distance kills. Or maybe 1 2 and 4.

And yeah... So did the nra have future weapons? The civil war poor showing in terms of American rifle skills literally directly lead to the nra being founded. It happened within 5 or so years following the war.
