Relations between America and Canada have not always been peaceful. The US invaded Canada in 1775 and 1812, without success. During the 1920s and 1930s it drew up a more hypothetical invasion scheme, War Plan Red. In fundamental ways, fear of the US shaped Canada, encouraging its unification out of what had originally been disparate territories, and also the decision to site its capital in Ottawa, further from the border than its other eastern cities.

Just drove past a US consulate. Probably 200 people outside waving signs around in protest against US imperialist behaviour. Seems very grassroots. How much do you wanna bet these people are the seeds of future resistance...

Unfortunately, sometimes things have to go to complete shit before the peasants revolt.
