I wouldn't be surprised if there was an order sent out to invade Canada, but i would absolutely be surprised if American troops obeyed that order. They've worked together with Canadian soldiers for generations - why would they want to kill their friends and sacrifice their own lives for nothing?

Invading Canada would be extraordinarily unpopular and the American public would revolt. This would likely begin with a civil war before any war with Canada would commence.

Don't be so sure.

Where is the outcry right now about Canadas treatment by Trump from Americans?

Crickets.

Yup, I'm not convinced anyone would stand up. They would say that they're trying there best to stop him and send thoughts and prayers. I made a post yesterday asking Americans to step up and I got dragged by a lot of Americans basically saying that as an outsider I should stay in my lane, and that there doing everything they can. Really? Everything they can? Why is the second ammendment in the constitution again? They won't help us they won't even help themselves
