I was hoping this wouldn’t be shared here. This is the most nonsense analysis I’ve seen on this topic. A significant insurgency would not break out and anybody with a PhD should be embarrassed to say “The Viet Cong and Taliban happened, so it will definitely happen in Canada. If 1% fought that’s 400K people. Therefore, a significant insurgency will happen.” Honestly, just trash.
The bit on Canadian Forces loyalists is ridiculous, unless we surrendered without a shot being fired then the entire military would be annihilated in a few hours. Not to mention how few CAF members actually have the training, expertise, and qualifications to organize, train, and command any significant subunit.

I feel like it’d also be something that has the potential to cause a shit ton of domestic terrorism. (Bombings, shootings, etc,) that’d massively destabilise American society and kill a lot of innocent people.
Like, if you invade a country of 40 million people and try to force those people into becoming part of your country when they have no desire for that, you’re basically begging for it.
It’d be The Troubles but worse by orders of magnitude.

If we invade Canada, Washington is immediately defecting.

Starting to think invading an ally for no reason isn’t a good idea

Beyond that, it would be unbelievably unpopular here. Basic math shows that.
Even if you assume that 100% of people who voted for Trump support it, war is always incredibly unpopular. 0% of people who abstained from voting, or voted against him are going to suddenly be pro invading a country that was visibly our ally until Trump decided they weren’t.
If a draft happened that would increase ten fold. They’d be facing resistance at home. They simply wouldn’t have enough man power to forcibly round up that many people to go to war against their will, AND fight Canada.
