I don't want you near my home
Trauma-san:
I don't give a fuck what you want.

The US can't conquer Canada. 1) It would be pointless, because there really isn't anything there that can be aquired with a take over. A few cities do good business but you can't just invade and think that they'll keep doing good business. It isn't like taking over the south or Iraq where you get instant access to physical resources. 2) This isn't Iraq and you wouldn't be going up against a dictator, you would be going against a peaceful nation. This would make the rest of the countries see Bush as a Hitler type and band together to stop him. USA isn't strong enough to go against the world. If the countries moved their militaries here and defended, the USA would lose, and end up in shambles. You can't even nuke us with out fucking yourself over. Invading Canada would be the single stupidest move in US history.
Besides, you tried before and you failed. :D

Excerpts:
--- Quote ---This act was passed in 2000 to bring Canada's ineffectual laws in line with the rules of the new International Criminal Court. While never tested, it lays out sweeping categories under which a foreign leader like Bush could face arrest.
In particular, it holds that anyone who commits a war crime, even outside Canada, may be prosecuted by our courts. What is a war crime? According to the statute, it is any conduct defined as such by "customary international law" or by conventions that Canada has adopted.
War crimes also specifically include any breach of the 1949 Geneva Conventions, such as torture, degradation, wilfully depriving prisoners of war of their rights "to a fair and regular trial," launching attacks "in the knowledge that such attacks will cause incidental loss of life or injury to civilians" and deportation of persons from an area under occupation.

Today, a strong case could be made that Bush violated the Nuremberg principles by invading Iraq. Indeed, U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan has already labelled that war illegal in terms of the U.N. Charter.
Second, there is the manner in which the U.S. conducted this war.
The mistreatment of prisoners at Iraq's Abu Ghraib prison is a clear contravention of the Geneva Accord. The U.S. is also deporting selected prisoners to camps outside of Iraq (another contravention). U.S. press reports also talk of shadowy prisons in Jordan run by the CIA, where suspects are routinely tortured. And the estimated civilian death toll of 100,000 may well contravene the Geneva Accords prohibition against the use of excessive force.
Canada's war crimes law specifically permits prosecution not only of those who carry out such crimes but of the military and political superiors who allow them to happen.
What has emerged since Abu Ghraib
