I'm pretty sure most of the country will welcome us if we sack Toronto and Ottawa. The rural vs urban divide is just as bad in Canada as it is in the US. We'd also have to put an occupational force in Vancouver to make sure the Chinese don't roll in.
Hell the Quebecois might even help if we promise them independence.

However Canada could go bad. Very bad. We've been pillaging in Latin America for a couple of centuries, but Latins are nowhere near as bloodthirsty as Canadians.
I personally don't believe we should risk the lives of our young men and women in Canada.
