If need be we have the Alaskan refuge, and there are plenty of other countries who would love to pick up the Canadian slack.
And if the time came for canada to defend itself, hold on I am still laughing my ass off about this one, oh too easy never mind.
So you just live in your merry winter wonderland knowing that even when you harbor draft dodgers and refuse to back up an ally,
the usa will still defend you because we all know that any 2nd rate country could over run Canada in a months time and it would suck having a non-passive country to the north.

Canada is American's largest source of oil, second is Latin America. Both are operating at capacity and will not be able meet US needs in ten years (65% of all oil imported). You really think Alaska can make up for that?
And really, who are you protecting us from? Really, the only enemies we would have made would be due to our alliance with the US. You talk like so many people out there, assuming there's always some sort of evil out to get all of us and if the US turned its back for one second legions of evil doers would overun Canada.
Like the 95% of all the other countries in the world that didn't back the US in this most recent attack, Canada is a sovereign state and isn't required to jump off every bridge the US chooses to.
The fact is the US takes WAY more from the world than it gives and wouldn't last one year on its own.
