I'd be lying if I had a hard time imagining the Canadian military taking on the largest military in the world.

I don't see the US taking over Canada before a World War would break out, however, which I think is a bit more of a realistic mitigating factor.

There also would need to be a motivating factor. US doesn't have any reason to want to take over Canada.

We are one people (other than Quebecois) divided by an arbitrary border. In some sort of nationalist upheaval I could Americans wanting to "reunite" with Canada or something like that.

Or if the midwest grain fields stop yielding enough during a global drought, the USA might turns its eyes to newly thawing land up north.

It would look more like Germany taking over Austria than Germany invading Poland in any case.
