UNITED STATES: Manpower fit for military service: males age 18-49: 54,609,050 females age 18-49: 54,696,706 (2005 est.) Add that in to the face that the United States' military budget is 4% of our much larger GDP, whereas Canada's is 1%

Lol.... that's not apparently helping you in Iraq now is it?

then add in the fact that NORAD operations is on our soil, meaning Canada would lose their air defense capabilities as soon as the United States realized what was going on

That doesn't shut off our Air Defenses..... you think we'd give the US entire control and access to our Air Defense? NORAD is geared towards Nuclear and other ballistic missles around the world.... it was a joint effort between Canada and the US..... do you really think we'd allow all control to be in Colorado and us not being able to do something in an emergency? We're not that two dimensional......

NORAD is not our entire air defense, so'z you know.

and besides.... turning off missile defenses here in Canada that have been fixated towards Russia since the Cold War that have been faulty and crappy since they were installed isn't going to help you much..... the idiot government which was in power at the time should have stuck with the Avro Arrows production.

then add in the fact that Canadian arms are supplied in no small part by American manufacturers.

Really?

You guys designed the Leopord Tank have you?

the C6 and C9 Machine Guns? Built in Belgium

the C7 Service Rifle that is common place in our military?.... built in Canada?

The .50cal LRSW? Canadian.

The C3A1 Sniper Rifle? UK.

M3 Carl Gustav 84mm SRAAW(M) anti-armour platoon gun? Sweeden.


81 mm mortar? UK

ERYX Anti Tank? France.

Javelin surface-to-air missile? UK

LG1 Mark II 105 mm towed howitzer? France.

about 1/3 of our vehicles come from your country, Most of them from Germany (Such as our Leopord Tanks) but I am sure we could find someone else to fill in that tiny gap.

Then finally add in the fact that if Canadian forces moved 100 miles south they would have barely come across a tiny fraction of the US population

Then it should be easy to get quite far with little resistance.

whereas if American troops moved north 100 miles 90% of Canada would be behind enemy lines and largely unable to assist.

lol.... you gotta get behind us first.... hence why were are inceasing our military pressence in the Artic.

Oh yeah, and Canada would instantly be fighting a two-front war because the Americans could come in through Alaska as well.

Split your forces? ok... Considdering Alaska is pretty much an extra Canadian Province anyways, lol....

Sorry to burst your bubble, but it would be over in a real hurry, even if there were initial successes by the northerners.

Yeah, Iraq was suppose to be quick too..... keep diggin. If this was to happen, you're own arrogance would be your downfall.... history continues to prove this.
