For starters I'm Canadian.
Why would the US ever threaten Canada?
We help them, and they help us. We are probably the best allies, compared to the rest of the world.

What would happen if Canada was threatened militarily - My version.

Ottawa would hold an emergency session in Parliment, the Liberals would denouce the
threat and ask all the other parties to offer their support in a show of soldiarity
while trying to implement a temporary increase of the GST. The Reform would use
this to try to get more aid to the farmers and the Bloc would stage a boycott of
Parliment until they get total control of the St Lawrence. After 6 months of heated
debate, name calling and desk slapping, they agree they must actually DO something.
The call would go out to the CF to deploy the regs and mobilize the reserves. OH NO! All the regs are understrength and scattered all over the world on UN, NATO, or more likely some Starving Nation, Greenpeace or other Save-the-whale / Rainforest /
Ozone causes that don't let them even have their bolts in. OH NO! Suddenly most of
the all-volunteer reserve dosen't show up because 1) it would interfere with my
upcoming term paper/exam/school choir practice 2) can't find any of my kit or 3)
nobody said anything about really having to do some killing. The remainder kit up,
bomb up, cam up, get ready to kill because even though the rest of the country
forgot- they always sucked it up and remembered that's what we're here for, but
have to wait until Ottawa can arrange suitable airlift. This cannot be
accomplished within 2 months because Air Canada is still pissed about their the CAI
merger limitations. The troops are told they will have to use ground transport as
the Chinooks weren't replaced and the Hercs are in the hangar because the pilots
are told they must have 8hrs min rest before flying. Now they are forced to use
their own vehicles (no mileage allowed either), because half the ML's are broke due
to lack of parts, and the few drivers left in garrison don't have troop lift due to
training course cutbacks. With the Trans-Canada looking like the Basra-Baghdad
"highway of death", we head merrily off to confront the enemy. Of course by this
time, the enemy is already well entrenched in the community and are now contributing to the local tax base and running for public office. They succesfully lobby the RCMP to arrest all the CF personnel with no FAC transporting unregistered
restricted weapons. Now all the soldiers are left on their own like a gut-shot nun
in a snow bank, and head back to their super-bases but most die in horrible traffic
accidents after being cut-off by diet-pill crazed soccer moms in large SUV's.
Ottawa appoints a Royal Commision to find out if there is any way of not paying out
death and survivors benifits. The CF asks for more funding for recruiting, but all
units execpt NDHQ are disbanded due to embarrasing media coverage.

Sadly, it would be funnier if it wasn't so plausible!
