The U.S. Threat Looming Over Canada

The idea of a war between Canada and the United States was inconceivable even a few months ago. An American military threat is Canada’s worst nightmare. And Canada is unprepared precisely because it never considered the U.S. to be a potential threat. For 60 years at least, both Conservative and Liberal governments have worked toward greater integration with the United States. Conventional war between the United States and Canada would be highly asymmetric, to say the least.
