What a bunch of crock.

Firstly, Soviet strategy was based on substitute wars and salami tactics. Canada neither bordered the USSR, nor do they have a communist neighbour that could stand in.

Secondly, they are separated by the largest ocean on the planet, their coastline north of Vancouver is non-conducive to troop movements, and the whole operation would be a logistical nightmare. Let alone that the required troop movements would show up on the screen months before an actual attack.

Finally, being the second-largest country in the world poses some major problems to any aggressor. The only country that has ever attacked Canada was the US and we have tried it more than once.

This "we are defending Canada" is such old regurgitated BS.

Canada would have been a big sitting Canadian Goose to USSR if the Good old US of A was not here to carry the defense for Canada.

I used to like Canada ,Gordon Lightfoot was my favorite singer, but now Canada is an embarrassment. They even want to make the Bible hate speech.
