Canada military models response to US invasion: report

After his 2024 election and in the early months of his new term, Trump repeatedly referred to the United States' northern neighbor as the 51st state and said a merger would benefit Canada. Because Canada does not have the military resources to resist the United States, the Canadian pushback would be shaped by an insurgency?style campaign, including ambushes and "hit?and?run tactics," the report said. The paper said the military expects there would be clear indications in the event the United States were planning to invade, including a US decision to end bilateral cooperation in NORAD, the North American Aerospace Defense Command.
