Eh, I think there is a few things to consider there: https://www.statista.com/statistics/584286/number-of-military-personnel-in-nato-countries/

We outdo many countries in both size of people, and if you look at related links, combat vehicles, navy, etc. It would take NATO countries a large amount of time to mobilize properly overseas as they are not nearly as robust as the US is with military bases around the world. In this scenario, I imagine we are invading Canada (and by we, you can count me outta it), so it would really depend on how long the war would last before one side gives up as I doubt any country will actually be directly attack American soil for the same reason people do not want to go after Russian soil. Canada's population is barely bigger than Ukraine, and they'd be facing an adversary much larger than Russia currently is, which as well as Ukraine is doing, much of that is because the US and its allies are supplying them with equipment that they need to fight back.

The issue isn't that the rest of NATO doesn't have an economy/number of people to fight back, the issue is, Canada would suffer severely before NATO would be able to properly mobilize, and might give up before then depending on the US has a good strategy in the initial months.

Again, I'm not endorsing any invasions, and I don't really see the appeal of America invading allies just to stroke Trump's ego. If Canada wants to be a part of America, let them vote on it (I highly doubt they'd vote yes), and let us vote on it; we should be past the barbaric ways of grabbing land just because we can. They are our friends, not our enemies, many of which we talk to on this very social board. I would never want to go to war with my friends.
