You're welcome to try, if you want to realize why Russia has had such an unfun time so far trying to invade a country whose people already speak your language and are mostly visually indistinguishable from you. The US does not have a good track record of successfully enduring in an occupation against guerilla warfare in the first place. If you thought Vietnam and Afghanistan were bad, or the 9/11 terror attacks were bad, there's always a way it can get much, much worse and much more widespread. Nukes and strategic bombers and all the other wonderweapons the US has aren't the "I win" button the US thinks they are. Those can make an army and a government surrender, but they can't make a people surrender. And it's the people they'll have to worry about in the long run. Especially in Canada. Grab SKS, go inna woods. There's a loooooot of woods up here.
I suspect if something like that happened you'd see a lot of "refugees" streaming north across the border.
Picking a fight with our northern cousins is absolutely a losing move that only a loser would consider.
We would welcome you and would invite you to grab scary black assault rifle, go inna woods too. There are plenty of woods here for everyone.
Brother I love hockey, pancakes, beer, AND the woods. I'm sorry my government is full of idiots.
