I assume the US military has an invasion plan on the books for about every country on the face of the earth. They gotta spend all the trillions of dollars of black money on something.
They didn’t need to do anything, our politicians started to deepthroat theirs. Look at Definbaker, scrapped the world’s most advanced jet program so the US could give us some Bulmark missiles as defense from Russia and guess what, WE NEVER GOT THEM. 1995 we sold CN Rail to an American. Fast cowards to The Harper regime, he gave the US army promission to be used in Canada if we ask for help, sold of the wheat boards assets to an American for $1 even though it was worth billions. CRA on multiple occasions have let the American company KPMG help the richest Canadians avoid taxes.
We may as well be part of America except going to a hospital won’t bankrupt ya here
You would be surprised the level to which our healthcare system has degraded in recent years. I’m lucky to have a doctor as my wife’s doctor left the country, leaving her searching for a new doctor for years. Nobody is accepting new patients and my daughter is in the same situation so they have to go to walk in clinics if they have any issues.
Acute care is OK but wait times are so long that people are dying in the ER, and you’d better hope you don’t have something that requires long term management if you can’t find a doctor.
Plus pharmacy and dental have never been covered, and those are a large portion of the average person’s healthcare cost, so you still need to carry private insurance.
You’re just going to ignore the Canadian support for the Allies during WW2? They were a significant portion of the Invasion of Normandy and helped push all the way to Germany.
They would attack targets like New Orleans and let American infantry try to bog down in occupying Canada. They'd still invade, just with the goal of a status quo ante bellum by targeting key US ports.
Damn that’s fucked up. I feel bad for the Canadians reading that. Imagine fighting desperately for your independence just to have your big bro stab you in the back like that.
Is everyone forgetting we have already fought one war on our northern border? Shit happens. What if Canada went nuts and elected some narcissistic tv host that wears a diaper as a leader and they formed a cult by accident and it’s members started shooting people across the border. You would want a contingency plan in place to handle that, ya know?
When your neighbors to the north call it "The Geneva Suggestions" tell me you're not going to have constant contingency plans for the day they stop saying "sorry". 😁
British troops did that, specifically British troops who had never set foot in British North America, let alone Canada, which didn’t exist. And yes, any war that ends in status que ante bellum is pointless.
Sorta… Wars can be about more than territory, which is all that term refers to.
America achieved all its stated goals for the war, which didn’t include “Actually this is mostly just a war of conquest we hope you’re too busy to defend against.” It just conveniently doesn’t mention a couple had already happened, and it would have been gauche to admit we really just wanted the territory.
They burned down the white house because they were forced to leave the city. People always act like it was some huge victory for them but they always leave out the fact that they couldn’t actually hold territory in the US, and the war ended with a major US victory at New Orleans.
At the same time the US invasion of Canada failed and they couldn’t hold territory there either. Obviously. That’s called a stalemate.
Just a dumb point to bring up since we can all see that DC doesn’t belong to the UK today. And Toronto doesn’t belong to the US. So yes it was a stalemate, without the sarcastic quotation marks.
I would assume all sovereign countries would have plans like these as contingencies of contingencies. You would want a plan already made in case some coup happens in your neighboring country and they threaten your sovereignty.
Yes, maoists in China created a detailed invasion plan for the US to invade Canada, infiltrated the US government and then had them “declassified” in 1974 in order to create a mild temporary tension between the two close knit NATO allies.
Yeah, in the 1920's to boot. If B-movie (or nowadays just any movie studio) were on here, they'd take what you just wrote, add time travel to it and make it into a movie without giving you credit. And they'd probably find some way to use AI in it too.
Why would it be? It's always good to have contingency plans. This became even more clear in the 30s when political instability was rife everywhere. Never knew what your neighbors were going to do in a decade.
I like how people forget that almost every countries military has plans to invade/defend their neighbourhood, better to have plans ready for that time then not having any plan.
