Canada quietly prepares for a US invasion scenario
Original: Why Canada is preparing for a (long shot) US invasion
Canada is drawing up contingency planning for a hypothetical invasion by the United States, a scenario officials and analysts describe as a long shot but no longer unthinkable given strained relations with Washington. The BBC reports on how Ottawa is weighing defence preparedness against its closest neighbour and ally, prompting debate about how serious the threat really is.
Why now: Tensions with the US and Trump-era rhetoric about Canada have made the once-absurd invasion scenario a topic of serious discussion.
