I'm not talking about winning battles in urban environment, fighting from building to building to prevent occupation. As I said, civilians don't have the firepower, and as you said, training and organization to pull something like that off. I'm talking about the occupation forces in the city being hit by ghosts on a daily basis during the occupation.
I understand what you are saying and what I am saying is Militia members should not even be entering the cities and risking their lives when keeping a line in the wilderness is more effective use of Human assets.
I believe one may be watching a few too many films if one thinks a lightly armed and trained militia member can be a "Ghost" in an enemy occupied urban environment.
I didn't watch movies. I've played an enemy force a few times in military exercises doing exactly that. It is shocking how easy it is to just pass as a civilian in a busy city environment, observing and picking your place and moment so you can have an easy out. You "shoot" a guy when they're not looking your way and then most of the time if you picked your spot right they don't even know where it came from before you're already walking away looking like any other bystanders. Of course, using those tactics means you're not covered by the Geneva convention if ever captured because you're not wearing a uniform. But I don't think an American military invading Canada would give a shit about international law to begin with.
Ultimately, one tactic does not exclude the other either.
I am sure you have done all of that, and must have more knowledge than myself referencing simulations, and war games, on the exact situation of an enemy force invading Canadian soil. Apologies for my ignorance! I am sure Joe Shmoe will be Jason Bourne when the time comes!
