Canada prepares for potential US military invasion scenario

Canada-US relations military wargaming Mark Carney Donald Trump national security

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has confirmed that the government is conducting risk management assessments and wargaming for a potential US military invasion. While Carney emphasized that such a scenario is highly improbable and represents an extreme tail risk, he stated that the government has a responsibility to prepare as bilateral relations undergo significant shifts under the presidency of Donald Trump.

The move follows heightened tensions caused by US global tariffs and rhetoric from President Trump regarding Canada potentially becoming the 51st US state. Internal military modeling suggests that a conventional defense against the US would be overwhelmed rapidly, potentially within forty-eight hours, prompting Canadian planners to focus on unconventional resistance and asymmetric warfare strategies.

Public concern is notable; a January Leger poll indicated that over 30% of Canadians believed a US invasion was likely following the US capture of Nicolás Maduro in Venezuela. Military experts, including former Lt-Gen Christopher Coates, maintain that a direct conflict is unlikely given the deep defense cooperation and NATO alliance between the two nations.
