The question I have is: when the $hit hits the fan, will Canadian troops fire on their own people? Or will US troops be brought in to do the dirty?

It is up to all of us to make it known LOUDLY that we do not stand for this and that we want to maintain and improve upon a sovereign, independent Canada!

NDP leaders have always opposed free trade deals with the US. If we get the gun registry issue out of the way by the next eelction, the NDP can pick up the support from many Canadians, especially rural ones, and get the majority it needs to reassert Canadian sovereignty.
North American union is similar to the proposal of NDP-Liberal merger, a sinkling ship( the US ) desperately grasping at the one floating, to try, vainly, to survive, while simply causing both to sink.
As Uncle Sam would say "We should join forces, to decide what we are going to do with "OUR" resources." Canada should reply " What do you mean "WE" white man?"
