The Canadian military couldn't hold up against the US for any sustained period of time either. But you're right. There needs to be some sort of protection.

In any case, it would likely be a minimum 10% of existing Canadian Forces staff/equipment/Alberta bases, probably buttressed by a few billion $ in initial military spending.
