Default War: Canada vs Mexico
Who would win this war? Assume the USA (and all other countries) remains independent. Also the USA does not allow either country access to land, airspace or waters.

I have researched this and will provide my answer later.

Canada, hands down IMHO. Why do you think we have all these CanDu nuclear reactors that can create enough fissile material for a bomb in like 2 minutes?

I think it depends if the drug cartels got involved. Without it, I think the Canadians would win. With cartel involvement, I think Mexico would.

After we nuke all their major cities, the cartels won't really play into it.

Oh, we also have a rudimentary navy, does Mexico have a navy? We can launch satellites, can Mexico? We have a rudimentary air force, that's probably on par with Mexico.

Wouldnt Canada win by default? All the Mexicans are currently in the US. There would be nobody to fight back.

I saw a show with this really nice guy and a husky who was pretty badass. So based on that...I say Canada.

One of their main foods is refried beans and you question whether they have the means to launch things into space?

You are right. Because of our portage skills it's an amphibious force.
