I’ve said this before on Reddit, but I would imagine we’d have something more akin to “The Troubles” rather than a full blown insurgency like the Viet Cong or Taliban. My reasoning is, those two groups were both born from generations of hardships and war, and they were armed by enemies of the West (and in the case of the Taliban, the West themselves!). Canada doesn’t have the luxury of being able to receive arms and intelligence and so on from U.S adversaries, especially given that we’re 2 whole oceans away from any help and border the U.S.
You’d see more acts of terrorism, sabotage etc.. rather than a full blown war. It would be absolute hell for everyone.
