US Planned to Invade Canada

Well will wonders never cease. Here is a secret plan for the U.S. to invade Canada. Now couple that with secret biological chemical warfare tests done in Winnipeg, and again during the Viet Nam war in New Brunswick, the current Agent Orange scandal, and one can see that the Conservatives are right to want to secure Canadian Soverignty by expanding our military. And arming border guards. And eliminating the gun registery so every Canadian can be armed. And there you just thought the Conservatives were patsy's for the U.S.

Plan to invade Canada unveiled

12/30/05

Start by capturing Halifax, seize Canadian Power plants near Niagara Falls, follow up with Army troops invading on three fronts.

That was the opening strategy in 1930 in the event of a U.S. invasion of Canada, according to The Washington Post.

The paper quotes from War Plan Red, declassified in 1974. The plan's official planners stated the goal in capital letters: ULTIMATELY TO GAIN COMPLETE CONTROL.

The strategy for an invasion of Canada was part of War Plan Red's design for a possible war with England over international trade.

According to the Washington Post, American planners thought England might use Canada as a launching pad in the event of war with the U.S.

War Plan Red was approved by the War Department in 1930 and updated in 1934 and 1935, the declassified documents show.

After seizing Halifax and plunging Canada into darkness by disabling its power plants, the plan called for U.S. Army troops to invade:

From Vermont to take Montreal and Quebec

From North Dakota to capture railroad facilities in Winnipeg

From the Midwest to seize Ontario's nickel mines.

The planners noted that if England and Canada won the war with the U.S., Canada was likely to demand the award of Alaska to Canadian territory.

The Washington Post story says there was also a 1935 plan to build three military airfield near the Canadian border and disguise them as civilian airports.

And the U.S. wasn't alone in drawing up war plans targeting the world's longest undefended border: the story says Canadian military strategists had a plan for invading the U.S. in 1921.

Canadian psychology professor Floyd Rudmin has long maintained the U.S. has a plan to invade Canada including use of the 10th Mountain Division at Fort Drum.

Fort Drum spokesman Ben Abel is quoted in the story as saying "We most certainly are not preparing to invade Canada."
