What does it matter. During wartimes, people from opposing nations are always discriminated against.

Sadly, this has happend in Canadian and pre-Canadian history, with the Acadians, and Japanese/Italians during WW2.

Well we know we would lose hands down. So why waste your life when all they would do is take the oil and leave us alone? I'm not planning on reading Suicide Bombers for Newbs anytime soon. Now, if the US wanted to kill all canadians, thats a different story. But if attacking us for our land, than take it.

doubtful. they might condemn the attack. but seriously, noone is capable of stopping the US from invading Canada. nor would they be stupid enough to try.

we would offer zero resistance. the war would be over in a day. and i doubt we will an effective insurgency or resistance (don't have the resources or temperment).

i love Canada, but if the US comes, I hope we just surrender. very scary thought. but i'd rather be occupied than annihilated

Everyone grossly overestimates the United State's millitary might. If the UK and Israel provided the required logistics and commando task forces to China. The United States will be stuck in an unwinnable war. If any other countries join (European Union, Mexico, India), the United States will be defeated.

When we say the whole world hates americans, we aren't kidding. Forge the few politicians that love Bush (and to whom they can thank their positions). If US stands alone in WW3, it will loose without a doubt.

Don't think for a second that the people and politicians of the US will fight until the last man (Mutually Assured Destruction with nukes). Politicians know when to give up and save their asses (get pardons from invading countries if they promise to not lead any rebellions). There will be no worldwide nuclear winter in WW3.

So don't be afraid of the big bad Bush, he won't get you.

There are logistic problems with fighting an overseas war, vs rolling over the longest undefended border in the world. Also public support and politics play a key role in the conflicts mentioned.

Now, militarily speaking, America could roll over Canada.

But, if we factor in politics, i highly doubt that the American people would ever support such a war. Things would have to change a lot for that to happen.

Once the countries fight back and kill a few of their soldiers the moms and dads will get pissed and micheal moore will make a new movie and all the **** will hit the fan.

If US invaded I would defintiely take up arms, hold up the US forces for a few days and all of europe will be here helping us out. Face it everyone wants to kick Americans in the ballz, give them an excuse and enough support from others and the US will be no more.

In Canada if it is not concreate jungles it is forest and hills, Americans will have a tough fight.

The lost the war is Vietnam because they wouldn't distroy the dams that would also cause massic civilian losses. If they didn't care so much about their image they could easily have won.

Well America would not lose a conventional war to the rest of the world. It is simply too difficult to invade another country overseas without a hideous advantage in ships and technology, which noone has over the US (not even combined).

However the US probably would back off if threatened by nukes. But that's a whole different game. Neither the UK nor Israel really figure into the equation. Sure they both have a lot of nukes and well trained armies, but they don't have the capability to send them to the US. China's ballistic missile program is almost at the point of hitting the continental US (they can hit the west coast curently). With some help from Russia, they could probably accelerate their program.

But honestly, it's tough to threaten another country with nukes. Especially the country with the most advanced nuclear weapons program and missile defense system in the world. Why would China go to bat for Canada if it might mean they get nuked to oblivion?

Really, all they can do is blow up the US. But that's not in their interests. It's in noone's interest.

Basically, noone has the interest or power projection to fight a war in North America. They might not like it. But it'll be like how noone likes the genocide going on in the Danfur, yet noone is going to stick their necks out to stop it.

I doubt we could hold them off for even a few days. But even given that, what sort of support do you think the rest of the world can send in a few days?

It tooks years to for allies to plan and prepare for Normandy. Hell, even if the whole world were to get into all the boats in the world, and sail past the US navy without interference, they still wouldn't get here in time.

Good point. Still don't think it will be a matter of just rolling in and taking over... I don't think they could ever gain control of Canada. This comment is not coming from my confidence in the Canadian military (of course not). I don't think us "friendly" Canadians would lay down without a fight during a hostile takeover and I don’t think the rest of the world will stand by.


The lost the war is Vietnam because they wouldn't distroy the dams that would also cause massic civilian losses. If they didn't care so much about their image they could easily have won.

Honestly speaking I don't know enough about the Vietnam War to comment on it too much... I never saw the American's as ever holding back and practicing digression... That certainly wasn't the case with Hiroshima. I also don't see much care and digression in Iraq and that is considered a failure by many.

Either way, your comment still works in favor of Canada winning. If their "weakness" is caring so much, then it is a weakness that will contribute towards their failure again when Canadians stand up and fight.

The US would have no issues in taking over Canada militarily, however, they would lose it on the international front. There is no way that anybody would every support then in an invasion of Canada. The US would be shut off from the rest of the world from a trade and diplomatic perspective ... and the US imports so much stuff (oil, goods), etc ... they would get roasted economically.

Alberta has like 1/3 of the world's oil reserves. If they took Canada, they probably wouldn't worry too much about oil. But yes, Dell would probably need a new call center if India kicks them out (oh wait, they just opened one in Edmonton).

Even then, I seriously doubt anyody would stop trading with the US over this. Everyone still trades with China. Everyone still sends relief to North Korea. So what if they don't like the American regime, would they really sacrifice a valuable trading partner over lil ol Canada?

I agree with the trading, that's the exact point I was trying to make.

But if they are so scared about self preservation, why would they attack the US? Wouldn't it be easier to band together if the US attacks overseas rather than band together to defend Canada all the way in North America?

It's not like Canada is a buffer, or a balancing factor to the US. Really, we're just empty space.

It's a little more complicated than that. Best defense is a good offense, right? Anyways, it applies in this case.

They won't be doing it for Canada, come on, we ain't worth **** to them. They will be doing it because, just like in the US, there are opportunists elsewhere. This would be the perfect "pretext" to take out the US from the top position. Maybe even own a few american states; make the citizens pay reparations (meaning work for very very low wages digging out every natural ressource on US soil). It can be very profitable, and opportunists LOVE change. With change come new opportunities. Keeping the status quo is only good for some of the players already in power. This is a game, and every once in awhile the board has to be tossed away in exchange for a new board. The only casualties will be ordinary people.

The fallout would be credibility...which is much more valuable in terms of trading partners. Its one thing to free them from an oppresive government. Its another thing to wipe out people for that ideal you wanted to pass to them.

Iraq on the other hand, step on them, shoot them...you can just claim them as terrorists. Anything in between you and that oil is just trouble anyways.

there is no way the world would sit back and watch this happen. Canada has maintained good relations with most of the bigger countries in the world. Most of which, probably harbour some hatred towards the states for one reason or another. I would be the perfect time to, pardon my french,"gang rape" the usa.

and even if canada wasnt on a countrie's favourite list, "the enemy of your enemy is your friend" If the states attacks canada, the whole world would be threatened because the question they would be thinking is, who's next?

There would have to be some serious political changes before the US would consider taking any action against Canada. It's not going to happen.

If for some reason it did, the US would begin by sending in the first wave. Stealth bombers, fighter escorts etc., take out communications, military facility, (lol... facilities), commercial runways, power plants (and put themselves into a blackout), etc.

Then what? Invade? They'd smoke us in the first wave, but it would turn into a nightmare for them, just like every other "war" they've tried in the past 40 years. Are they going to try and occupy us? HA! Good luck. They will never win Iraq, and that's a country 20 times smaller than Canada with a population of many million less. Then there's the whole weather thing. You think your M1A1s don't work so well in the desert? Try them in -35ºC winters.

Yes, I know that 90% of the Canadian population lives within 150 miles of the US border. That does change things. But never underestimate the power and will of a people to survive. Hell... look at the French in WWII. If they can fight, anyone can. A US/Canada war would be very bloody for both sides, because in order for the US to win, they would need to occupy us for a long time. That or kill us all. That's the problem when you're not fighting an army. (Our army would be wiped out pretty quickly, leaving us regular folks called insurgents.... sorry... terrorists.) You can't just exterminate an entire population. The world tends to frown upon that these days.

The truly scary question is what's going to happen with North Korea and more importantly, China? North Korea is more annoying than anything else, but pulling stunts like sending missiles over Japan and into the sea is not good. They're like the ******** kid who sits at the back of the class, shouting lots and making weird noises. Sure they say a lot of things and get attention every once in a while, but they're still the ******** kid. The only difference here is North Korea has a fairly sizeable weapons stockpile and has been in a standoff with the US military, ummm.. South Korea...., for the last 50 years or so.

China will be a very interesting story over the next 15 - 20 years. I'm not even going to get into it other that to say that if they pull this Olympic shindig off and get a lot of world support from it, the US could be facing some interesting times. At least the US and China have strong trade relationships right now.

It's very easy to be an armchair pacifist during peace time. Have everyone watch the invading army advance after major cities have been devastated... then retake the poll.

I'll bet that the protestors against Vietnam and Iraq would have been some of the first to take up arms against an invading army.

True. Don't care how corrupt the people of a country think their system is, they will want to liberate it themselves, and not by a foreign army who doesn't even bother asking them first or could instore an even worse goverment.

People protesting against a war aren't peace-not-war hippies as you may have been lead to think by the media and Conservatives. They are reasonable people that object to meddling/attacking other countries without valid reason. What these people would love is to send their troops in to liberate Tibet So they're not anti-war people, although that slogan works well.

The US will never lose a war on their own soil. I can guarantee that the world would be almost literally destroyed before they'd let a foreign force occupy one of their states.

I think this thread is a little on the ludicrous side anyways... as I'm sure the US will annex Quebec and Alberta within the next 100 years anyways.. gaining both water and oil.. and the rest of Canada really isn't worth the hastle.

History lesson:

The US have only lost 2 wars in their nation's history.

1) Vietnam War (on foreign soil)
2) The War of 1812 (on native soil) the Canadians burnt down that White House, hence it being called "White House"

Maybe today, they won't loose a war on Native soil, but they have in the past :)


The US will never lose a war on their own soil. I can guarantee that the world would be almost literally destroyed before they'd let a foreign force occupy one of their states.

I think this thread is a little on the ludicrous side anyways... as I'm sure the US will annex Quebec and Alberta within the next 100 years anyways.. gaining both water and oil.. and the rest of Canada really isn't worth the hastle.

They didn't have hundreds if not thousands of nuclear weapons pointed at any country that might be considered an adversary in 1812. ;p I'm not saying that they couldn't be 'beaten' on their own soil, only that the price to the invader may be more than most *nations would be willing to pay.

Will Not fight!

The war is not as simple at it sounds, there are always hidden (evil) agenda items and soldiers are generally being used.
If fight is for freedom or for rightousness - (hopefully both will be on one side) I will stand with Canada!

I'm surprised people are so convinced that the world will defend Canada, when almost half (48%) of Canadians won't (according to this poll).

Good point.

People don't give a damn about Canada.

...if you've read posts on this RFD forum for some months...you soon come to realize at least half of the posters can't stand Canada, or think Canada is a crap place to live, or we in Canada have the worst government or the police in Canada / Toronto are the worst on the face of the earth, or hold an opinion that most Canadians are racist.

If beginning to wonder if anyone gives a damn about Canada anymore - and just want to wait till we all become Americans. I think some people would actually prefer to live in a dictatorship like China or North Korea than live here.

I'd mentioned on Rememberance Day in another thread that a relative of mine left in 1942 ( out of high school ) to fight to defend freedom and our way of life to fight Hitler- not on Canadian soil - but in Italy ( where the Germans killed him and where his is buried today ). He volunteered and went to another country to fight for our and their freedom- though he didn't have to.

And yet, you're right, when our own soil might be in jeopardy, how many guys from 18- 25 would drop their MP3s and cell phones to volunteer to fight for Canada - like I said before....... maybe 1 in 20 ...if we're lucky.

I think most young people would just as soon be American...... than fight.

What does it matter. During wartimes, people from opposing nations are always discriminated against.

Sadly, this has happend in Canadian and pre-Canadian history, with the Acadians, and Japanese/Italians during WW2.

but if you are white you can move freely without being noticed :). If you talk the "eh" might sell you out.

I think that we are more patriotic than the U.S. We're just proud enough to keep it inside of us...instead of belching it out in a loud voice like the Americans do.

While I'd never suicide bomb, if it ever did happen, I certainly wouldn't make their lives easy for them.

Besides, I think world support of Canada would jump up like crazy... What really have we ever done to deserve invasion?

US wouldn't stand a chance with South America on their flank, and Europe sending troops over via Ireland -> Greenland -> Halifax

Maybe we can even convert Troy Hurtubise (http://www.baytoday.ca/content/news/details.asp?c=2634) into a War Patriot, and suit up everyone with the latest Ursus Model of Anti-Grizzly Armor. ;)

Burger King. I love their Whoppers, their fries are better. And their mascot is way cooler.

Yea, but the King can travel at about 200 feet per second... Haven't you seen the commercial where he is in the open field, then all of a sudden beside the guy at the turn of a head?... Has showed pretty good balance on the skyscraper construction site also.

LoL... My GF hates those commercials, she's freaked out by him.
