This is a national defense plan for Canada in the increasingly credible likelihood of conflict with the United States. Greenland-Denmark (the subject of a future article) is even in more need of a strategy against Russian inspired American aggression.
Ukraine would be the most recent example of a successful defence (perhaps temporary) against a superpower aggressor.
For Canada that might entail:
Stockpiling of food, spare parts, gas/oil/coal and other essentials from now.
Intelligence gathering (by Canadian Military Intelligence, CSIS Humint, CSE Sigint and Imagery including Canada's Sapphire and Gray Jay satellites) by Canada and Canada's non-US allies concerning:
- US intentions
- changes in US military dispositions and preparations
- ratcheting up of US economic measures (including blockades) against Canada
- Trump's daily communications with, and instructions from Russia
Ongoing analyses of the above collected intelligence. Also an analysis of Trump's many statements which may signal US intentions.
Because of much larger US numbers Canada would be better served by a highly dispersed insurgent strategy than contemplating open battle. This would include:
- Canadian military and militia use of man portable anti-tank and anti-aircraft/helicopter/drone weapons.
- Canadian use of defensive aerial drones, landmines, sea mines and sea drones (UUVs and USVs).
Canada must reinforce the reality that it is a victim fighting a defensive war. against Trump's Fascism This could be communicated by a soft-power campaign communicating that message to the international democratic community. That community would include remaining American progressives who must be persuaded that conflict is not in the interests of ordinary Americans.
Justin Trudeau should continue to be seen as the leader of the Canadian freedom. Trudeau should be protected from US or domestic assassination attempts.

The war will kick off with MAGA militia invading Quebec to seize Canada’s strategic maple syrup reserves located in Montreal (https://ppaq.ca/en/sale-purchase-maple-syrup/worlds-only-reserve-maple-syrup/) but their big pickup trucks run out of gas along the way, because they forgot to factor in Canadian pump prices are twice that of America, so they park at the nearby Moulson Brewery.. until the Mounties apprehend them.
Quebec has Poutine and hence will not be invaded!
Too true Shawn C
And converting Maple Syrup into Aviation fuel is one Moose short of a Letterkenny.

Your logic is indisputable, but...
Naturally Poutine [1] is a Belgian invention specifically Flemish Frites/Fries [2] with Andalouse Sauceum:
Belgian fries are cooked twice for a soft middle and crisp outside and served with a mayo sauce called 'Andalouse' that can be best described as vaguely similar to Thousand Island dressing. The sauce makes a great chip dip or vegetable dip as well. Flemish is equated with quality.
