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.

I would like to think that if we tried to invade Canada, the northern states would rebel against the federal government and/or most of our troops would refuse to obey those orders.

I am, unfortunately, not as sure of this outcome as I would’ve been just a few years ago.

@rk

I think that you underestimate how pliable people are and how much they will simply follow orders.

Most of the people running the Nazi camps were just like us and our neighbours.

I'd love to see American opposition stop this preposterous, fratricidal war before it gets even near starting.

American citizens seem to be taking the atrocities threatened by their government lying down, and politicians are more interested in minor domestic issues than in stopping a continent-wide war or other military excursions.
