A comparison was drawn to suggest that it would be like taking somebody out at Yonge and Wellesley Streets while standing at the foot of Yonge. For those of you who don't know Toronto that well... let me tell you, it's like five subway stops!
And this while realizing that Canadian snipers are among the best in the world. Canadian snipers had the highest number of confirmed kills during the Shah-i-Kot Valley fight, despite the fact that there were just a few of them. If you think Afghanistan is rough terrain to fight in, try the Great White North... there aren't many open deserts here.

I do hope you aren't trying to be serious here but invading Canada would be pretty much a cake walk. This isn't to belittle Canadians, its just the fact of the matter. Canada has no military to speak of in modern terms. Elite units are great but they don't win wars. Canadian citizens don't have the ability to get weapons like terrorists in Iraq do. There is no place to import them from like Iran and Syria. I am a big friend of the north woods myself. Trying to survive in the woods is hard enough, you wont' be fighting much of a gurrilla war from there. Once winter comes about, how hard do you think it would be to hunt down resistance with infrared equipped helecoptors?
Canada is of course safe, we would no more invade Canada then we would invade Idaho. If any wars will be fought in this part of the world it will be after a Mexican collaspe.
