Also, the Americans would be facing the mother of all insurgencies in a vast landscape with a citizenry were gun ownership is almost as common as it is in the US....

And some of them are exceedingly good with them.

About half of my wife's kinfolk were up there when the governments settled on their border, and there are still considerable numbers on both sides. Being able to shoot well is a family tradition (on both sides of the family).

Vast but empty. Almost nobody lives in most of the country.

I’m not convinced that Canada has the depth of the warrior spirit that America has. It seems to me that Canada depends on it’s tiny percentage of warriors to give it glory and a token defense, but that it is just barely large enough to maintain an illusion.

Texas produces about 20% or 25% percent more military personnel annually than the entire nation of Canada does.
