No. Canada can stay. If we're gonna just invade countries willy-nilly and start a war, at least make it with an a*****e country whose government probably should be burned down, like China or Russia.
I'd fist fight Putin and I'd kick his judo trying a**.

Yeah but that would be hard D:
We need the oil to give to Europe first so they'll put trade sanctions on Russia so, Canada.
That's also part of the reason >.<
China would be more difficult than Russia, I'd say. Russia really isn't that powerful, comparatively speaking, anymore like they used to be. During the cold war it would be hard to tell who would win, but not anymore. WMDs is probably the biggest concern with them. In a fair fight, the U.S would pretty much stomp the s**t out of Russia. China too, but it would be pretty messy..
Why would that be the case?
They're more economically tied to the U.S and world economy than Russia is. Russia, depending on who you ask, may be the second strongest military behind the U.S, but economically speaking, it's miniscule. And the gap between the U.S and any other single military power is a fairly large one, even for second best. The economic fallout would be more difficult to control if we took out China. Not that Russia wouldn't be messy as well.
Just my opinion though, and I'm in no way an expert.
You're right in that China would probably be a harder target, but Russia's technological capabilities from the cold war are still probably the second best in the world, so despite their small size and scope it's still potentially a major problem.
However, China tends to starve out U.S. manufacturing by subsidizing their own and artificially dropping prices, and when our manufacturing goes out of business, jacks up the prices and takes over the market, essentially through monopolization. It's an over-all less efficient system, so in the long run we may actually benefit from a good reason to pull relations from China. xp
