Speaking as a Canadian with military experience, you forgot one absolutely vital thing all Americans forget when talking about invading Canada. In Iraq and Afghanistan, you had the luxury of entire oceans between you and the enemy. We’re right next door.

Consider our vast shared border. Do you think you’re going to lock that down? You can’t even secure your border with Mexico. I can think of a bunch of locations where I could (with preparation) walk across the border and be in Los Angeles by the end of next week. We’ve watched your TV for generations. We can all fake an American accent. Or by the time we get to Texas, we’ll just tell the locals we’re from Minnesota.

So, you could invade Canada but I promise that we could conduct irregular sabotage or terror operations on US soil in retaliation. We might not be successful, but we’d be highly motivated to try.
