A nuclear exchange started by the US is never going to happen.

I envy your optimism.
You say that the UK, France and other allies would come to our aid in case of invasion by the US. Let's pretend that is real for a second.
If we have the combined might of NATO fighting a conventional war against the forces of the US along the 49th parallel, how bad does it need to get in your eyes before one of the belligerents launch a nuke, compelling the other side to launch a nuke in retaliation? 25 million casualties? 50 million? Or you believe both sides would just continue the conventional fight losing millions indefinitely?
I say again - if there is an invasion,
NO ONE is coming to help. It is not worth losing millions of people to defend Canada against an aggressive US.
I sincerely believe there will be no invasion and these are all just insane hypotheticals.
