In addition, the USA would be turfed from NATO and the UN. Loans would be called, or denied and the US economy wouldn't be able to afford to roll out the tanks. If you can't pay/feed your soldiers you can't fight a war, and the US economy is so overstretched right now that without outside money they could not sustain that kind of action. And given that our land mass/climate is much the same type that the nazi's floundered in during world war 2 (with a much larger force I might add, and simpler equipment less prone to freezing solid) and the studies the US military did on the likelyhood of winning a land war in the USSR, I doubt they'd attempt it.
Not to mention, it's political suicide for the president that gives the ok for it.
That's the kind of war that could end without a single shot being fired.

It's amazing how weak and fragile some think the US is. Without the US the Canadian economy wouldn't exactly be in tip-top shape either. And don't you think within the first week the US would control all the strategically important assets in Canada? I hate neo-cons, but I also hate such idiotic leftist rambling. China wouldn't back anyone (in fact it would more likely back the US as their economy is very reliant on the US as well), North Korea doesn't have the ability to back anyone (California alone has more wealth than that shithole), and the South would back the USA before Canada (as would various other nations, such as Australia, the UK, etc). But in any event, I am quite sure they would much faster pull every last troop out of both Iraq and Afghanistan (not to mention the troops they have stationed in Germany, South Korea, etc) and let both fall to shit and start sending them into Canada in any such event to protect more important assets. But anyway, of course such a thing would never happen, there is no reason for it to. But just the fact that you have some deluded picture in your head that Canada could beat the USA in a war shows how much of an idiot you are.
