Canada is a founding member of NATO. It would be unthinkable of the U.S. not to cone to it’s aid.
A Canadian has served as chairman of NATOs military committee twice since 1963, and General Peach of their mother country was just put in the job.
I’m thinking General Pierre St. Aumond must be a Frog AND a hoser dissing our alliance as he did, ignoring NATO.
On the other hand, Fat Boy might aim at Long Beach and hit Thunder Bay. Or they might nuke Canada and no one knows for a while ... so maybe that accounts for their nonchalance.
I think if NK lobbed a nuclear weapon into Canada, we would almost certainly retaliate in kind. The real question in my mind is will China and/or Russia retaliate in kind if we lob a nuclear weapon into North Korea. The Russians, in particular, have some civilization ending sized nukes and they aren’t crude.

Depends; Canada needs to belly up to the bar and contribute to missile defense funding instead of expecting a free ride from big brother. Canada should follow Australia as an example. Both countries are similar in key demographics such as population, land mass, GDP, etc. However, the Aussies fund defense and military far greater than Canada and thereby punch considerably above their weight.
Not to mention they are our partners in NORAD!

NATO North Atlantic Treaty Organization, founded against the Soviet threat, not against ANY Sino-Japanese-Korean threat.
And with Canaduh’s politics lately, why should america come to it’s aid?
