Canada Prepares for Hypothetical US Invasion
Canada is thinking about what might happen if the United States tried to invade.
The US president, Donald Trump, has said he wants to make Canada the 51st state.
Canada's military has imagined this scenario and thinks that the US could take over quickly, maybe in just two days.
Since Canada doesn't have enough soldiers or weapons to fight the US directly, they would use sneaky tactics like hiding and surprising attacks, similar to what happened in Afghanistan.
The first sign of an invasion would be if the US ended their agreement with Canada to protect the skies together.
Canada would have about three months to get ready if this happened.
Canada's military has modeled a hypothetical US invasion scenario.
Trump's expansionist agenda includes annexing Canada, Greenland, Panama Canal, and declaring himself Acting President of Venezuela.
The US could overcome Canada's defenses in 2 days to 1 week.
Canada would resort to guerilla warfare tactics to fight back.
The first sign of an invasion would be the end of the Norad alliance and shared skies policy.

Quotes
Mark Carney
Prime Minister of Canada
“The question for middle powers, like Canada, is not whether to adapt to this new reality. We must. The question is whether we adapt by simply building higher walls - or whether we can do something more ambitious.”

“Great powers can afford for now to go it alone. They have the market size, the military capacity, and the leverage to dictate terms. Middle powers do not.”
