Invading Canada won't be like invading Iraq: When we invade Canada, nobody will be able to grumble that we didn't have a plan.
The United States government does have a plan to invade Canada. It's a 94-page document called "Joint Army and Navy Basic War Plan Red," with the word SECRET stamped on the cover. It's a bold plan, a bodacious plan, a step-by-step plan to invade, seize and annex our neighbor to the north. It goes like this:
First, we send a joint Army-Navy overseas force to capture the port city of Halifax, cutting the Canadians off from their British allies.
Then we seize Canadian power plants near Niagara Falls, so they freeze in the dark.

The plan should now be revised to reflect the present situation. We go directly after their bullet and then.....
If the EU wanted to invade the US they would use canada because we know how much canada worships the socialist schlong.
I did read the whole article in the Post this morning. The Canadian plan to invade the US was drafted at a time when Canada was still pretty much a British colony. It assumed the Canadian invasion would be part of a larger conflict between Britain and the US. It was also something that would be described more accurately as a raid or reconaissance in force than an invasion.

If we don't I would be very disappointed.
Today's ally may be tomorrow's adversary.
Actually their armed population would most likely be on our side. :-)
They have a lot of timber, too..
OK, I guess they are worth annexing. Let's move forward.
If we avoid a naval conflict at the mall, we'll be alright. They can putter around all they want - to no avail. We can be sure that there will be no gun stores at that mall, so we can just march right in past the Orange Julius and the Chick-fil-A and claim it for the US.
Good point. We have a built in fifth column.
War Plan Red was was with the British Empire with different parts being different shades of Red. Canada was Crimson, Scarlet was Australia, Garnet was New Zealand, Ruby was India, etc.
Careful though, they could refuel the the Bourbon St tavern and get more armaments at Spencer Gifts - I say we hit these places first by watering down the whiskey and hiding all the batteries.
Just a sample.
War Plan Green was for war with Mexico or Mexican Domestic Intervention.
War Plan Orange was for war with the Japanese Empire.
War Plan Red/Orange was for a war with the Japanese-British Alliance.
War Plan Gold was for war with France
War Plan Silver was for war with Italy.
War Plan Yellow or War Plan Violet was for war with China or China Domestic Intervention.
War Plan Gray was for war in the Caribbean.
War Plan Indigo was for Iceland Intervention.
War Plan Emerald was for Ireland Intervention in conjunction with War Plan Red.
War Plan Gray was for Azores Intervention.
War Plan Tan was for Cuba Intervention.
War Plan Black was for War with Germany
War Plan White was known as the "U.S. Domestic Contingency".
Canadians were so kind and generous to Americans on 9-11. Opening their homes for us when travelers were stranded because the air space was shut down. What has happened there that they see us as the enemy?
Here's the plan from German sources:

didn't they sign Kyoto? they're already halfway doomed.
They are pretty fond of him.
No, actually after the manner of the reasoning in The Mouse That Roared, a Canadian invasion of the United States could be just what Canada needs: we'd set them back on their feet with foreign aid, rebuild their economy, . . .
The details of this plan revealed purchase contracts for BB guns, underwear, and really scary faces.
"War Plan Green was for war with Mexico or Mexican Domestic Intervention."
I think we should dust that one off.
Well, we have spitballs. (Zel Miller)
