"Well, I drafted the plans we would have used to defeat Canada."
This conversation probably happened.
I don’t want my country to go to war, but if we have to go to war, I’d prefer we went to war against the French.
Only problem with going to war with Canada is we’ll have to sell them all their implements of war at a huge discount so they can use it on us.
I heard of this plan many years ago on the radio.
The thing which surprised me is the War Department concluded that it would be a tough war.
Do we really want a scrap with Canada. Both times we invaded, they kicked our asses and sent us back with our tail between our legs.
We need a plan to go to war with Mexico.
YELLOW for China,
We also had a plan for war with England (before D-Day).
The military routinely have contingency plans for every possibility you can thunk of and a few thousand you can’t.

“But what will we do if all our Boy Scouts are in Canada?”
It’s not surprising at all, and it would be derelict not to consider all options of whom war might breakout with. After all, we eventually turned against Britain, where most citizens had hailed from, at some point in our history. 8>)
I am sure we still have such a plan, and one for the invasion of Samoa. We have “contingency” plans for any situation that might come up, possibly one for responding to an invasion of little green men. It is not silliness. We never know whence trouble might come and we have to have some plan in place in order to move very quickly. Such plans typically fall to pieces once there is engagement but they make a rapid start possible.
The USA can invade Canada any time .
I live up here and I can tell you, the drama queen PM, a complete village idiot if there ever was one, is purposefully keeping Canada economically divided by regional economic, interests that support his party. Canada has a market place that does not enjoy any competition to speak of, and the Canadian government tries to guarantee monopolies in some areas, which prevents the market and the economy from expanding.Meanwhile the government feeds the Canadian masses distracting opiate issues like womens rights, ist nations rights, LGBTQ, government grants, child allowance,environmental protection ( When most of Canada already is forest and tundra.) while the government graft and taxation sucks Canada Dry, and I don’t mean the ginger ale either.
Yet Canadians are hard workers, innovative, and Canada has tremendous natural resources being stifled by environmentalists, stubborn 1st nations, and minor French political figures who stymie infrastructure that would cross Quebec to join the country together.
The last thing the liberals and NDP want is a populist movement like we now have in the USA and the UK. The socialists in Canada quake in fear of Donald Trump, which is why the CBC propaganda pumps against Trump in Canada 24/7.
So a US invasion of Canada. BRING IT. The USA would be liberating the people of Canada from an arcane, draconian divide and conquer political system.
The majority of Canadians would welcome being a part of a Republic with guaranteed rights instead of “privileges” which have to be OK’d by the likes of the drama queen PM and his Ottawa clowns.Canadians have been subjected to the tender mercies of its socialist government for far too long.
Bring a US invasion TODAY!
What a gift it would be.
If you want Peace, prepare for War!
You better have a plan, always.

I wish Canada were a part of the USA, because I really want to retire north.
Canada acceding to this confederation, and adjoining in the measures of the united States, shall be admitted into, and entitled to all the advantages of this union; but no other colony shall be admitted into the same, unless such admission be agreed to by nine States.
Article XI, Articles of Confederation
Apparently our neighbors to the north did not pursue the offer; whether that might be considered a good thing, or bad, is obviously subject to discussion...

Even today we have war plans with any potential adversary. This is nothing new.
If I remember correctly, the scenario for a war with Canada was in the event that Great Britain either surrendered to, or join some kind of an alliance with, Germany in 1940. This contingency was planned for in case Canada became hostile to the US or US interests in league with Nazi Germany.
By the same token, war with Great Britain was planned in case it was necessary to rest control away from Hitler, under a similar scenario. An invasion of continental Europe would have been staged from England, just as it was in reality. This is the reason why the flying wing bomber was being developed during World War II as well, because it was thought that we may have to fly across Atlantic to strike Germany or German held territories, without the benefit of our English allies. The Army Air Force was looking for very long range bombing capabilities.
