You should look at a map. The headwaters to the rivers you depend on originate in Canada. We currently have agreements on how those rivers are managed, so we all have water. You throw away those agreements? Well I guess we can just dump whatever into those rivers with no fucks given to the Americans that live downstream.
Don't kid yourself, the US takes military action against Canada and we're talking guerilla warfare. And guerillas poisoning the wells is something there's accounts of going back to Roman times. Poisoning a river that flows into enemy lands? No brainer.
And this is the dumbest thing ever. You could buy water (or any other resource) from Canada. This is something your criminal President dreamed up because he has a history of ripping people off whenever he could. You want to be considered the most dishonorable country in history by going to war with a country that just fought alongside you for decades so you can steal some resources?
Bottom line: there were 1,922 Americans killed in Afghanistan. 4,492 killed in Iraq. So Canadians would need to kill between 2000 and 5000 Americans to win the war. I'm willing to fight Americans for decades to get to that number. How long are you willing to fight in a war to help your President Judas betray it's allies?
I think its foolish to assume that annexing canada is the same scale of warfare as the wars in Iraq or Afghanistan.
In the case of occupation, american culture is very similar to canadian culture and they will quickly work to control media to paint any insurgencies as violent and terroristic to normal people.
I think canada's best course of action is to be ready to respond to an american military threat. It is far easy to be ready to defend than to spur an insurgency.
America could also bomb us back to the stone age as they've done in other countries by targeting drinking water, waste water, manufacturing, and communications targets. Destroying a couple railway bridges and highway bridges could rip the nation in half trade wise. Even if we mount a succesful insurgency we'd likely have to rebuild from the ashes. I'd rather us come up with a defense plan to prevent that future.
