Canada conducted a simulation of an invasion from the USA, highlighting its military vulnerabilities and unconventional defense strategies.

The Canadian Armed Forces have conducted, for the first time in a century, a simulation of a military invasion by the United States. The theoretical exercise was carried out to assess Canada's defense capability in the face of a possible American offensive. Military analysts estimated that American troops could occupy strategic positions in Canada within a week or even two days. Internal assessments suggest that Canada does not have enough regular forces or modern weaponry to repel a large-scale invasion, which is why unconventional warfare methods, including the use of irregular groups and drones, have been analyzed.

Canadian officials emphasize that a real invasion from the U.S. is unlikely, given the good military relations between the two countries. However, in the event of a rupture of the partnership within NORAD, Canada could seek assistance from nuclear allies. Additionally, there is discussion about creating a reserve of volunteers of over 400,000 people to support any potential resistance. Although Donald Trump suggested in the past that Canada should join the U.S., Canadian officials have dismissed these claims as destabilizing.
