"Land is not important." In T2k, it sure could, depending on what you can grow or mine or process with that land!

A few thoughts without looking at a map:
Are you considering anything amphibious across Lake Champlain? Take a look at the French-Canadian and British invasion operations in the 1700's. Of course, they used the lake for transportation because it was easier than moving overland. Modern roads change that a lot.

If you're a modern military, and especially a small one like Canada's, you certainly want to avoid getting bogged down in urban fighting, so avoid the cities when possible.

{Aside: when I was in ROTC in NW Pennsylvania years and years ago, our hypothetical OpFor in exercises was the Fort LeBouef Liberation Front, an insurgent "band of Canadian sympathizers." Ft. L. was a French post on Lake Erie back in the colonial days.}

From the Depression days: the US also had an anti-Canadian war plan, color-coded Crimson.
