Earlier this week, local media reported that the Canadian Armed Forces have developed a conceptual model to respond to a hypothetical military invasion by the United States. According to two senior government officials speaking on condition of anonymity, this is the first time in a century that Canada's military has created a model focused on an American assault.
The officials stressed that the framework is theoretical, designed to explore strategic scenarios rather than serve as an operational plan. They underscored that it is unlikely the administration of U.S. President Donald Trump would order an invasion of Canada.
As a founding member of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and a key partner in the North American Aerospace Defense Command, Canada maintains close defence ties with the United States. This conceptual exercise highlights Ottawa's commitment to comprehensive readiness, even for the most unlikely contingencies.
