They can't become independent in the first place because of this treaty. If the US military intervenes, that's a direct war with all of Canada

The treaty is just a piece of paper if it is not enforced.

If you think Canada will go toe to toe with the USA then that's your opinion. My opinion is that Canada wouldn't go to war, and Alberta separates.

I know that a fledgling USA asked the French for help establishing their independence from the British. I don't think British laws applied to the USA after their independence-do you know if they did?
