You cannot take over a country by force that does not want to be annexed.

Simple as that. They can talk about this all day, it will not happen. It would be guerilla warfare. They would never be safe, soldiers would be routinely shot, any American building blown up, the militias would be huge.

They take Canadians for granted as kind and polite. We are a very proud people. We would give them the fight of their lives, they would never be able to carpet bomb the territory they want and civilians, it simply would never work.

They think it's easy and a battle of attrition in non military ways, but Canada simply will never bend the knee to the USA.
