The Alamo didn't work out all that well, they still leave their men to be unsupported.

Name 1 country that could beat Canada in an all out war


Lithuania.

our country is too large to occupy


Bull****. The British used to occupy not only Canada (or, to be more precise, the country now known as Canada that the British Empire would create) but a quarter of the planet's land surface. Nowhere is too big to occupy.

Oops, I guess the OP should have clarified. I think it refers to the 21st century, not the 19th.

So NO country can occupy Canada in the 21st Century?

They could try but I doubt they would be successful in the long run. Given the difficult time coalition forces have had in Iraq and Afghanistan over the past 15 years, clearly anybody that thinks taking and holding a vast, well armed, well educated and wealthy country like Canada is at all likely is pretty silly

Canada would be taken and held within a week.

Comparing Canada to places like Afghanistan is ludicrous.

Of course I think so, because it's true. Your military is so tiny your main contribution to NATO is the paperwork.

Our military is irrelevant. Afghanistan are small countries with no military left and yet their populations have and are giving coalition forces fits. I'm not surprised the concept is a little over your head

Stop comparing the Canadian population with the Afghan population. The Afghans have been invaded countless times in recent decades and have learnt how to see off invaders. They are a tough bunch, a warrior people. Most Canadians, though, are liberal, vegetarian tree-huggers. If a powerful country invaded Canada they'd be occupying your parliament building within days. You'd stand no chance. Even Belgium would have no trouble annexing you.

You keep talking like its 1945. In the 21st century, occupying the parliament is meaningless.

You could say that about any period of time. When a foreign power is occupying your parliament and is ruling Canada, occupation and subjugation is complete.

Of course it wouldn't be. Don't be so silly. I can understand your need to think in terms of 19th and 20th centuries. You're Brittish so it's only natural that you look backwards.

Of course it wouldn't be.

Of course it would be. Once your foreign ruler is sitting comfortably in your parliament Canada would be under foreign control. A foreign power would be ruling Canada. And it would take many countries on this planet a matter of just days to annex Canada.

Your nation only occupied the smallest portion that you were allowed to occupy at that time.

The UK presently maintains insignificant forces to even consider holding Mainstreet in a small town, let alone any endeavor that would think about an entire nation

The Afghans have repelled Britain on a number of occasions... Making up excuses long after the fact in no way validates the inability of your military mistakes
