Canada Military Models Response to US Invasion

Eagle Intelligence Reports • January 21, 2026 •

The Canadian military has developed a model response to a US invasion, the Globe and Mail reported Tuesday, as President Donald Trump again muses online about a takeover of Canada.

Citing two unnamed senior government officials, the paper said the Canadian response model centers on insurgency‑style tactics, like those used in Afghanistan by fighters who resisted Soviet and later US forces.

The Globe reported that the officials believe it is unlikely that Trump would order an invasion of Canada.

After his 2024 election and in the early months of his new term, Trump repeatedly referred to the United States’ northern neighbor as the 51st state and said a merger would benefit Canada. (AFP)
