I think this is inevitable.

We have very fertile land that would get better with climate change.

There will be many people in the entire world needing access to our land for survival.

When push comes to shove, people will think of their own survival.

The only way to avoid it is to build good infrastructure so we could actually take in a good amount of people and have our economy thrive

Obligatory disclaimer: am 'murican.

I don't think the US will invade Canada for access to its farmland. The US presently has about 5x the amount of arable land as Canada. One could certainly say this land is poorly located, but the US is geography pretty large and production can move. It's not like that hasn't happened in the past. One example is the transition from Maine potatoes to Idaho potatoes.

Canada does have 5% more land than the US, but give how little land is farmed in either country, I don't think this will matter a ton.
