There’s “effectively zero” chance the U.S. would invade Canada — but we must prepare for that contingency anyway, experts say.
The U.S. invasion of Canada would likely begin with a brutal blitz, before rising to a defiant insurgency.
Over the course of mere days, a co-ordinated series of surgical strikes by the U.S. military could decapitate Canada’s leadership, cripple its military, compromise key communication channels and paralyze the nation, national defence experts tell the Star.
But despite its early victories, the States would find it near impossible to hold Canada for long — especially if a hostile population decided to resist.
A defiant insurgency? And just who will take that on? The Hindus? The Mohammedans? The Sikhs?
Trump may be on your street soon!
