The Beaver that Roared

News is that the Canadian military has drawn up plans for war with the US. And their conclusion? “Canada would be defeated in two days or less and they hope Canadians would organize into counterinsurgency guerrilla groups.”

That’s about what I calculate. Quick tank run over flat terrain to take Winnipeg. Canada is cut in two. Quick tank run over flat terrain to take Vancouver. Canada is cut off from the Pacific. Now send tanks through the broad flat plains of Alberta and Saskatchewan to secure the oilfields and the North. If Eastern Canada is worth the effort, another quick run up the Richelieu to take Montreal cuts the remainder of Canada in two once again. Hook left to take Ottawa.  Canada does not have the vast distances of Russia to buffer an invasion from the South. Easily all over in two days.

Would Canadians launch guerilla warfare? The thought seems laughable to me.
