The other thread on an assault on America got me curious.

Ok--a successful assault on the US is pretty much ASB for so many different reasons that it doesn't bear repeating here.

However --

German U-boats did prowl up and down the St. Lawrence River, sinking quite a few ships. [link]

And Hitler trying to purchase Anticosti Island, located at the mouth of the St. Lawrence, from a wealthy French chocolate-bar manufacturer in 1937. (Needless to say--the Canadian government got quickly involved in the deal and shut it down) [link]

But what if?

So--would a Nazi invasion of Canada be just as ASB as the American version?

Sure - a 2500 mile long supply chain is just as hard for the Nazis to pull off as a 3000 mile one but on the other hand -- there's a lot less population to deal with and a lot less built up infrastructure and defense.

Still think it's ASB but still...

I would like to hear some people's thoughts on this.
