Given the state of the world, I'd say this is a wild level of confidence, I'd say the odds of a North American land war is well above 0. Maybe not at a note worthy level, but you definitely have a guy in charge who at some point in time will tell someone who has the power to do so to invade Canada, it really just comes down to if they listen or not.
I also truly believe if they actually invaded a neighbor it would be more likely to spur division in their own country than to trigger action by China. If the USA conquers Canada, very little changes for China or the US or the World, really only Canadians would experience a huge change, but the very idea of it might be enough to setoff rebellion or dissention by some military units or democratic state national guards... to spur the long feared civil war. I also think if Canada puts up anything resembling an organized defense, it's basically an unwinnable war for either side. occupying 10MsqKM is a feat beyond imagination even for an Army like the Americans, to occupy a land the size of Canada it requires political legitimacy. China would be much happier to watch American win a pyrrhic occupation over an unoccupiable swath of land.
