That invasion plan was scrapped as World War II began. Canada is now considered an unimportant good neighbor by the superpower to its south. A recent effort to create a “North American Union” (NAU) with Canada, the USA, and Mexico is a semi-secret effort by industrialists in these three nations.[2] The goal is similar to the “European Union” in that it would allow low-cost Mexican labor and abundant Canadian energy reserves to fuel the huge industrial machine of the USA and create the world’s greatest economic power. The 1994 North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) is the cornerstone of this union.
However, the free movement of cheap labor from Mexico resulted in angry opposition from American workers. Legal obstacles have been evaded by encouraging illegal immigration. Current immigration laws are rarely enforced and the number of illegal immigrants is now so great that they openly hold political rallies and make demands. As a result, NAU leaders are attempting to squeeze a second amnesty law through the U.S. Congress to provide legal status to this cheap labor. This will ensure that millions more Mexicans flood across the lightly patrolled border and depress wages further, thus boosting profits with what NAU leaders call the “free movement of labor.”
Few Americans know that Canada is the leading source of imported energy to the USA. They are the biggest source of foreign oil, natural gas, uranium, and even electricity. As energy costs recently doubled, Canada is becoming wealthy, at the expense of its southern neighbor. This has weakened Canadian support for a NAU. The obnoxious foreign policy of President George Bush has nearly derailed it.
As energy prices continue to rise, economic growth and prosperity in the USA will stall, and then decline, while Canada enjoys an economic boom. This will result in envy and plots to secure Canada’s energy wealth for all North Americans. Mexico will soon need Canadian energy as well since its oil reserves are rapidly depleting and are projected to run out in a decade.[3]
Meanwhile, a direct military confrontation is possible as the “Canada Canal” opens. While the media is full of stories about global warming, there is little convincing data. Since scientists are unable to predict the weather one week from now, one must doubt their projections of what may happen two decades from now. Nevertheless, arctic ice is melting and the long-sought “Northwest Passage” through Canada’s frozen north is now navigable for a few weeks each summer. Some scientists predict that all artic ice will melt within a couple of decades, keeping this route open year around. If ice continues to melt, this passage will become a transit route for ships trading between Europe and Asia. Commercial ships can shave off some 2500 miles from Europe to Asia compared with current routes through the Panama Canal. In addition, most modern container ships are too large to transit the Panama Canal, which is expensive and requires up to two weeks anyway.

Any officer should know that Canadian involvement in Afghanistan is a waste of effort and lives. Also that Iraq has been lost long ago, but they still keep on beating their chests and yakking about "victory:.
The armies of both East and West Germany have been built up by former nazi Wehrmacht officers and all the post war Iron Curtain communist armies were by officers, who fought against them in the war.

Nothing short of a mass uprising by the Canadian people and a new economic order, can prevent it.

As far as the US Army on Canadian soil is concerned, it is already happening; <a href="http://www.vivelecanada.ca/article.php/20070711121332722">http://www.vivelecanada.ca/article.php/20070711121332722</a><br />

Nobody really knows how they got there, but they are there all right.<br />

One only expand the concept of invasion to see many memes from south of the border have taken hold in the minds of those north of the 49th

And we would not 'kick their ass', you'd be lucky if the actual 'war' phase would last 24 hours.
We would fight a protracted guerrilla war for years, though, and with some outside help, probably from China or Russia, we'd eventually defeat the occupation force.
We also have peak oil on our side. The New Roman Empire has only a few more moves left on the board before all the pieces run out of gas. Invading Canada would be their last gasp and would falter due to fuel supply shortages.

I would think The Commonwealth (India, Britain. . .) if not NATO.
And the guerrilla war we would win. The US is having a tough enough time in the 34th(?) largest land area filled with little brown people who aren't like them; how would they do against the 2nd largest land mass, filled with people who look like them, sound like them and know their culture as well as they do?

The preceding comment deals with mature subject matter, however immaturely presented. Viewer discretion is advised.

Just so long as they don't start chucking nukes around too freely in my neck of the woods, and just so long as they don't entertain ideas of coming in and taking us over for themselves after the dust settles.
