No way in hell Canadians would quietly submit to being "conquered". It's nice to think that war is as simple and easy as the actual killing itself, however, there is a lot more to consider than just that. Too bad good old Bush didn't think about that before he delved into his. I think he's learned his lesson now (or one would hope)

I was going to type something long in response, but really there isn't a need. The fact that you think Canadians are going to launch some Iraqi styled insurgency is just hilarious. I live in Australia, which parallels with Canada in many respects, and I know for absolute certain if another Western nation (especially an English speaking one with a similar background - such as the US) conquered us a grand total of two people would end up fighting.
Now, if Iran conquered Canada I could imagine an insurgency of some type, but the US? Not going to happen. The US would allow most freedoms, protect the wealth and property of everyone, and people would just go about their daily business and wouldn't risk their lives, or the lives of their families. You may like to think you'd fight, but once you realize the reality of a bullet and an occupier with more power than you could ever dream of you'd fall into line just like the rest of the sheep, and nothing would happen.
