AI Summary

short article 1 min

According to a report in the Globe and Mail, the Canadian military has developed a response model for a potential US invasion. The plan focuses on insurgency-style tactics, similar to those used in Afghanistan. This development comes as former US President Donald Trump has repeatedly discussed a potential takeover of Canada, including recently posting a map depicting Canada and Venezuela covered by the US flag. While government officials believe an actual invasion is unlikely, they acknowledge that US forces could quickly overwhelm Canadian defenses. The Canadian response model is therefore a precautionary measure in light of Trump's continued rhetoric.
