The Canadian military has developed a model response to a US invasion, the Globe and Mail reported on Tuesday, as US President Donald Trump again muses online about a takeover of Canada.
Citing two unnamed senior government officials, the paper said the Canadian response model centres on insurgency-style tactics, like those used in Afghanistan by fighters who resisted Soviet and later US forces.
The Globe reported that the officials believe it is unlikely that Trump would order an invasion of Canada.
After his 2024 election and in the early months of his new term, Trump repeatedly referred to the United States’ northern neighbour as the 51st state and said a merger would benefit Canada.
Trump’s annexation talk has eased in recent months, but overnight he posted an image on his social media platform of a map showing Canada and Venezuela covered in the US flag, implying a full American takeover of both countries.
The officials told the Globe that, in an invasion scenario, US forces would overcome Canadian positions on land and at sea in as little as two days.
