It's not like Ukraine in which powerful allies have a direct land route into Ukraine and can move massive amounts of resources to resupply the fighting front and the civilian population if needed.
If there is an insurgency capable of resisting it would be a combination of Canadians and Americans fighting against their own government from within. At least that way there's a continent's worth of supplies to draw from.
But the plan to me seems to be getting clearer: splitting the world into a Russian empire, an American empire, a European empire centered around a fascist Germany re-emerging or simply a weakened and subjugated Europe, and a Chinese empire until the US and Russia can figure out how to be rid of it. I don't think the prospect of military force against Canada is far fetched at all now.

It's a thought, but even the Nazis struggled to bury 12 million people, The Americans can't wipe out 45 that quickly, and we could generally look / act / sound the same as them, so it would be hard for them to supply themselves without inadvertently supplying us, and like I said the only way to occupy 10M sqkm is with legitimacy, if they invaded, and if enough people viewed it as illegitimate then it would be an unwinnable forever war for both sides. This isn't an optimistic outlook, just a statement about how China wouldn't need to or want to be involved.
* I think you're overestimating to extent to which that would care for a European Empire.
