A war would be disastrous for both countries. Especially the US.

As President Donald Trump relentlessly threatens to annex Canada, some Canadians are worried that an American invasion could one day become a reality.
How would that scenario play out? Looking at the sheer size of the American military, many people might believe that Trump would enjoy an easy victory.
That analysis is wrong. If Trump ever decides to use military force to annex Canada, the result would not be determined by a conventional military confrontation between the Canadian and American armies. Rather, a military invasion of Canada would trigger a decades-long violent resistance, which would ultimately destroy the United States.
But in this nightmare scenario, could Canadians successfully resist an American invasion? Absolutely. I know this because I have studied insurgencies around the world for more than two decades, and I have spent time with ordinary people who have fought against powerful invading armies.
If it comes to a head on confrontation; it’d be Trump v. Canada in gorilla warfare. We’ll bring our own justice, and probably add a few more pages to the Geneva Conventions while we’re at it. We’re good at that.
The next thing will be trump visiting Canada and another staged “assassination” to galvanize the less intelligent Americans into supporting “peacekeeping” in Canada.
Or they’ll just dress someone up as what they think is Canadian in the US and try the same line down there.

Idk how it won’t end well for him given how he ran out the clock and didn’t see a single day of justice.
That was Trump v. The American legal system.

Wait. We have gorillas in canada for warfare? Or is that US?
Apologies,
Guerrilla* warfare
Though gorillas could be a good wildcard…
They’d need flannel
Do we have any rules against gorillas in war?
Would you like some? 🇨🇦
Well that’s just prime.
I understood that reference! Bonus points for Canadian content.
