A 1935 US Plan For Invasion Of Canada

Oh yah, I read this last year, I was amazed at the detail to the plan, but alas, no invasion needed, they just paid off a few unpatriotic boobs and bingo!

<i>Once that is no longer Canadian owned I believe we're set up for an invasion. </i><p> There's more than one way to invade a country, bud. Who says were're not already being invaded - economically?<p> I don't think having such a plan is such an eye opener. I have a plan for getting out of my house, should it catch on fire. It never has caught on fire, but I still have that plan. I'll bet if we look, the US has a plan to invade Iceland. A short plan, but a plan nonetheless <p><p>---<br>"History does not repeat itself, but it does rhyme" Mark Twain <br />

invading canada will leave the U.S. very ulnerable to an external attack (if they win ) Although, they are invading economically, which is a good thing and a bad thing.
bad: because we are so relient on thier economy
good: creates jobs and brings money to communities

Proud to be CANADIAN!

Not sure about the creates jobs or bringing money to a community...is Walmart an example...previous businesses with full time employees lose their jobs, the small business closes down, the prices at Walmart start off cheap to get people in the door, new employees get part-time no benefits jobs, then slowly the prices go up...same as takeovers which is why the corporations head offices move out of Canada, costing us jobs, new head office employees in the new country...how does that help Canada?

Oh, yeah, it`s all bad because US corporations are not setting up new investment to create new high paying jobs. They`re only buying the competition, then shutting it down to eliminate the competition, and then they control the Canadian wing be it resources or industry, from a US headquarter. So even the high paying executive jobs are being lost. years ago, when the Canadian government had a vision, they told foreign corporations that 'if you want to sell it here, you gotta build it here' and it was a fair trade off, as it did provide jobs but these corporations also got access to our resources cheaply, and they didn`t have to pay as much in benefits due to our public healthcare system, and they had a highly skilled, well educated workforce in a safe environment, as well as a cheaper dollar. And given that Canada was a rather affluent country, their sales in Canada were well worth setting up shop here!

Oh, one more thing. Let them invade. I know alot of Canadians who say they`d fight!! They may have the weapons, numbers and technology, but it is futile against a proud, determined people fighting a guerilla war to defend their homeland!!! We don`t have to be afraid of these clowns! Time to call their bluff!! Besides, the whole world would be on our side as well!!

They're having a tough enough time keeping control of the 36th largest country by land mass. I wonder how they'd do with #2. <p> Especially come winter. Remember St. Petersburg? (*evil grin*)<p> <p>---<br>"History does not repeat itself, but it does rhyme" Mark Twain <br />

Yes Dr. Caleb, I'll bet they don't know how to melt an Igloo, so we are pretty safe??? ha ha

How DOES an igloo stand up to having a nuke dropped on it?? It doesnt' matter anyways. THe US would only invade Canada for resources. Since a nuke would destroy that, they'd have to send in troops. And Canada's a rugged country. They couldn't destroy the infrastructure 'cause they wouldn't be able to rebuild it (Canada's basic infrastructures are some of the most amazing engineering accomplishments of all time. eg: railroad). And good luck taking the resources when there's an experienced hunter living in the woods with a rifle.

And besides, by the time they get to Canada on their "to do" list, they'll be so dependent on us that we could turn off the water lines and they'll all die of dehydration.

Kory,

Now that's a war plan!

The U.S. has done such a fantastic job in Iraq, I am not so worried.<br />

This is a serious issue, keep in mind Canada is not exactly in the US good graces. Top sources in the administration have said clearly that Iraq was going to be the FIRST example, not the last. Talking about military and starving them for resources is ludicrous. First, of course, there's no need, if they ever wanted even more of our resources for an unfair price all the mechanisms are in place through the trade agreements that would see CANADIAN military and police guarding them while canadians looked on powerless, much the same as English landlords had Irish 'strongmen' in their employ during the famine to 'clear the land' and enforce british law and much the same way south american countries have their own military trained by US forces (and we work even closer to their military) to guard against their own people.

So finally, anybody who thinks cops and military will suddenly 'side' with canadians over international trade regulations doesn't know very many members of either force, and second, your average Montana resident has more firepower than the canadians of an entire neighbourhood-they wouldn't even NEED to use their military. I don't mean to sound unpatriotic but given the current economic and political climate I wouldn't lift a finger in violence to defend 'Canada'. Of course, this is all hypothetical.

Well I don't know who you are and I don't support violence, but any Canadian that says they wouldn't lift a finger to defend this great nation, is certainly not my kind of Canadian. Perhaps that is part of the problem. You lift your finger everytime you write a letter to the editor, your mp, or write your cheque to pay your taxes, and many other examples. Standing for your homeland, for your future and that of your children doesn't seem to me to be even a question for discussion. It is automatic, it is my home.

See, that's the thing.They couldn't even
conquer a 2nd-world small-sized country decimated
by sanctions.


If only Canada & the U.S. existed,
they would have invaded long ago.But since Canada is
respected world-wide, a U.S. invasion of Canada would
isolate them to oblivion, with nearly all other
countries vehemently objecting.It would likely
get China & Russia very upset, and with the
friendship & cooperation treaties they signed
a decade ago and with their recent co-op military
tests, the U.S. certainly doesn't want to provoke
a double-commie sandwich of 1.5 billion people
with a very powerful combined military.As a matter
of fact, those joint Russia/China tests were pulled
off *specifically* to remind the U.s> that the world
is indeed watching, and rampant, pre-emptive
military aggression fueled by the historical
American 'Manifest Destiny' concept won't
be tolerated.

The U.S. is desperate.They are running short of WATER
(especially in Arizona, Nevada, California) as their
population outstrips their water supply.Same with
energy and oil.Canada has a very large per-capita
abundance of everything.

So in summary, (1) with the world community (china,russia,
norway,sweden,finland,germany,holland,austria,belgium,
france,spain,switzerland,portugal,poland,ukraine,
italy,greece,libya,iran,india,pakistan,phillipines,
australia,new zealand,cuba,columbia,venezuela,japan,
indonesia,etc,etc) WATCHING their every move and (2)
with their DEPENDANCE on kind, tolerant, non-aggressive,
respected, neutral, benevolent, balanced Canada for
their future supply of water, energy, oil.... guess
who ACTUALLY is in the position of power... hmmm ?

Sometimes international reality in 2005 goes
beyond mere military might.there ARE other
factors.It's not the war boardgame "Risk", as
the U.S. has found out time and time again
gettin' SPANKED by 2 smallish 2nd world
countries called Vietnam & Iraq...
