So, here's my defense plan for Canada. Basic philosophy: it is unsafe to wait for an attack.

1. Get public confirmation from NATO that Article 5 applies even if the aggressor is also a NATO member.
2. Send an ultimatum to Washington demanding a public acknowledgement of Canadian sovereignty by the President and confirmation of non-aggression.
3. In the absence of that acknowledgement, sever diplomatic ties, close the borders, and embargo trade. Blow bridges, tear up roads and rail lines.

4. Evacuate Canadian civilians from the border area; probably 300km or more. Yes, this is where most Canadians live.
5. Declare a security corridor of 300km on the other side of the border, in US territory. Any military activity in that area is a sign of imminent aggression and will prompt a defensive strike.
6. If anything occurs, surge forward and take territory. Keep any war on US soil, not in Canada.

@evan isn’t most of Canada’s economic activity well
within 300km of the border? You can evacuate all these people without blowing up Canada’s entire economy.

@juliette yep, it's a pretty big deal. The other option is letting the occupier hold about 2/3 of our population.

@evan @juliette that's when you start handing out weapons from the Armory and homemade bomb manuals and tell the people to resist the occupation. The US military has proven they can't properly occupy a country even one as poor as Afghanistan, Canada would be a more formidable foe pound for pound
