A few things inherent in this comment of yours:

1. Nice of you to admit that after one month of a US-Canada war that the front would be in Nunavut.

2. You're right that we would not be up to fighting in Nunavut. There'd be nothing to gain in doing so and everything to gain from just letting you folks own the place with all of your highly superior cold weather kit and vehicles that Parliament has never quite seen fit to purchase for you.

3. Again, there'd be no point in using ground troops in a potential Battle of Nunavut. We'd wage an air campaign and hit what little infrastructure exists in the region, let your forces freeze for the winter, and then go back to ignoring Nunavut just like you do.

   

I wonder how much of the Danish sentiment would exist in Canada if this invasion ever came to pass. Except for a few scattered skirmishes that ended abruptly, in 1940 the Danes basically stood down when the Wehrmacht crossed the border. There was literally no chance in stopping the Germans so the consensus in the Danish government was to offer no resistance in order to prevent a pointless loss of lives and needless destruction in vain combat against an overwhelming opponent. For most of the following occupation the Danes were more-or-less left to govern their own domestic affairs free of German interference, at least until near the end when the Germans went into full military occupancy mode in order to prevent the Danes from letting their country turn into a location where the Allies could do and end-run directly into northern Germany.

Would Canada go all pragmatic and do the same thing in an almost identical situation to what the Danes faced? The life-span of our conventional military can be counted in hours if ever faced with the full might of the United States. And a lot of us would probably be very uncomfortable with the thought of sniping at American soldiers who would only be there thanks to the antics of their repulsive and hate-filed right-wing politicians back home.

Just asking. I have no real opinion in any direction with these kind of hypotheticals.

   

Quebec would have to adopt more English signage

   

Interesting list to make would be of which provinces would be more likely to stage an armed resistance. Quebec'd probably be most likely as some of the fruitbats that live there are usually on the verge of setting off explosives at any given time anyway. Ontario probably second, at least in the Toronto area anyway, where anti-American sentiment has been alive and well since about 1781. Alberta'd be least likely because we don't like the ROC very much at any particular moment to begin with and all that a US invasion would mean to us would be that all our pipelines would get rapidly built without any more interference or delays.

   

Nope... when the Americans realize that nobody here wants to speak to them in English, they'd storm off in disgust and confusion, then they'd put a border around the province and try to enforce it, without any success, of course.

   

Nope, we'd probably do something really disgusting and low like sending in a battalion of lawyers to sue the Francophones into submission.

   

Unless you have French speaking lawyers, this will be stuck in court for decades.

   

Nope, we just send in the Cajouns from the US French Quarter. French Canuks will assimilate and any B&tching will result in deportation to France swift. 2nd French Speakers need to learn, Get the F%ck in line, the Spanish speakers have first cracks in the courts and the Charter on Canada is DOA upon Annex as is French Language for Primary usage, Welcome to America!!

   

If you think that Québec French and Cajuns can actually understand each other, you're crazy.

The further away you go from Québec, the more the French is different. New Brunswick French is close, Nova Scotia French is already impossible to understand, Cajun French is another language altogether.

   

Well Really the reason fighting would reach the Northern parts of Canada is due to oil. And its true, most likely there would be air strikes instead of ground troops but it could possibly ruin the one thing the americans want, Oil. so they would probably have to send in ground troops at one point, but that might risk the Inuits clubbing them like seals.

   

What kind of bomb is going to destroy a resource 2000-10 000 feet under the surface?

   

Not sure but I think his post kinda bombed.

   

That's Newfoundlanders, the Inuit use harpoons.

   

this is just silly

   

Yep.

If one drinks the kool aid being offered around here, it's more so a matter of sitting back, watching the US implode, then picking up the pieces that survived.

In the end, the question to our Americans cousins ought to be, "Do you ultimately have any issues with parliamentary democracy? Because there ain't enough of you left to really stop the Canadian Juggernaut now."
