And we don't have a armed civilian population like they did in Iraq for example or Vietnam.
I doubt Canadians would put up much of a fight the smart enemy would roll in and say free internet and cable and Canadians wouldn't show up to fight.
Chances are that if there was an invasion of Canada America would jump in to defend Canada and then keep what they defended. or if the enemy threatened America through canada they wouldn't consult with Canada before engaging in a aggressive war on Canadian soil.

Not to mention, Ukraine has a population of 44 million concentrated in defending a border with Russia that is only 2000km long.
Canada has a spread-out population of 38 million spread over a far wider geographic territory that would need to defend a 9000km border with the US that is also on two-fronts (southern+Alaska). We wouldn't be able to put up any reasonable resistance in comparison to the Ukrainian situation - especially against the US military which is magnitudes more powerful and compenent than Russia. This isn't counting the 243,000 km of beach-front access that American sea power could immediately enter from.
Russia has the same logistical defense problems as Canada in terms of a spread-out population and immense geography - that's why nuclear is their actual end-game defense strategy.
