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?

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.
“Operation Waffle Garden,” US invasion of Belgium
Operation Waffle Stomp rolls off the tongue a bit more
Sorry, that was a reference to an actual WW2 operation in the Low Countries, Operation Market Garden
Fun Fact: We have a plan for fighting the whole world at the same time.
Also Fun Fact: It was considered a workable plan until China's navy was expanded.
I think my favorite part of this is looking at the Canadian and British plans for if the US invaded Canada.
Canada's plan was to pre-emptively invade the US, knowing that Canada wouldn't be able to hold the territory long-term. They would go as deep as they could before they started to fall back as slowly as possible, hoping to buy time for the UK to sail over and invade the mainland US.
The UK's plan was to abandon Canada and just let the Americans take over. Losing Canada was seen as "non-fatal" to the UK, and it was believed that sending an invasion force to fight back would hurt the UK more than if they just abandoned Canada's defense entirely.
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.
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.
To be fair, this is hardly a plan, it's just "head north to your nearest Canadian city"
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
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.
Hey remember when you tried that last time and your precious Whitehouse got burnt down?
Good luck importing some English Redcoats this time, future states.
Lmao the most recent Canadian W is from the 18th century. Are you implying that the modern Canadians military and modern US military are equals?
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.
Is it really a W for Canada if Canada was a colony? Doesn't UK get the credit for that?
Batman has a contingency plan to kill every individual in the Justice League, including himself.
I appreciate that the prairie provinces are just "Ehh, just go generally north."
Also, scary thing is, that's exactly how to do it.
We we gonna do WHAT? HAVE WE NEVER HEARD OF THE ATTEMPTED INVASION OF MOSCOW IN WW2?
