That seems less likely than annexing small parcels of land, bit by bit. If there's some Canadian farmland with a meth lab on it, I could see the American coast guard seizing it for 'national security' It would put Canada in an uncomfortable position since Canada hasn't had to worry about defending its border in anyone's lifetime.

Are they gonna sail a cutter into Edmonton then?

[thomassmith65]

It doesn't need to be Coast Guard, specifically, as long as it's a group people don't associate with war (eg: Forest Service, Law Enforcement, etc). A stand off between Canadian Mounties and American Park Rangers would result in fewer heart attacks than soldiers in army jeeps.

It's entertaining that you don't appear to think that any of this is insane.

[thomassmith65]

It's all very stupid and dangerous.

The prospect of the USA invading Canada is so spectacularly insane that people wrongly assume it can't happen.
