Invasion of Canada

Hahaha!

Seriously though, in terms of an invasion of Canada, I would doubt that it would ever come to that; how could they possibly justify such an invasion on the world stage? Liberate us from our pesky democratic Parliament? Save us from the tyranny of the Governor General? What possible excuse could they have?

We don't need an excuse Five, when was the last time we ever needed an excuse?

Here's a better one for you, why on earth would we EVER invade Canada? Has that thought crossed anybody's mind yet?

Espionage? Hardly, i'm a ground pounder. As for my avatar, that was my plan all along bud. Show up one day with a 1/2 naked avatar and bend everyone to my will

Crazy Canadians, you're always up to something. :wink:

Hmmm... I like the basic strategy but it needs more detail. What about winning hearts and minds?


Canadian Plan to Domainte the USA.

Ok surprise attack of most of our forces into NY state.. they'd never expect it. At the same time we'd have to have alliances with most of the nations around the world.

How about trying to convince some Americans by promoting medicare if Canada wins the war.

While this is happening. Russia attacks Alaska and takes it no real problems and goes threw Canada to both defeand our border and to attack the cent and western states.

Going through Alaska, fine, that's their problem. But through Canada? I'd need to think about that.

Mexico pulls a Canada and attacks up into New Mexico and all the states which were annexed by the USA.Cuba would use it's sizable force (for it's size) and attacks florida.

Before the war is declared, spies ought to have been sent a long time in advance rubbing in the fact that English is such a pesky language to learn and that if the Southern states went to Mexico and Cuba, they wouldn't need to learn English anymore (the Gringos would need to learn Spanish instead; that should put a smile on their face, and that would be a sizeable segment of US sympathisers too).

Then we all wait for China or India to send over at least another million troops for us as re-enforcements to help push the Canadian, Russian, Cuban Mexican armiries into American terrortory. It works, well at least in a Civ 3 mod I made once.

Hmmm... be careful with China; they'd be eying Vancouver before any US city; just look at the Chinese population there: they could pull the same stunt on Vancouver as the Mexicans and Cubans could pull on the Southern states! But there are quite a few Chinese in the states too, so for some cities it might work and I'm sure China wouldn't mind a port on North America's west. India, like Russia, I don't know. I really don't think they'd be interested, and would have a really hard time in any hearst and minds vcampaing too.

As for Quebec, they definitely ought to move on Illinois, and like the Mexicans and Cubans, send spies in there first to promote Bill 101; I'm sure a few residents will jump to the cause!

Don't breathe a word of this to a soul! Our secret leader in the USA is Bill Shatner & at any moment, he will start the coup d"etat there.

I think "Operation Canadian Bacon" is in order.

So has he started the hearts and minds campaing yet?

Since Shatner is an English Canadian, and the English Canadian part of plan is to woo Americans with medicare, have we managed to convince any of them to back the Canadian military should we move in?

And how's Quebec doing with getting Illinoi to back them militarily should they invade in exchange for not only medicare but Bill 101 too should they successfully take over Illinois?

And I strongly suggest we ensure that the Mexican, Cuban and Chinese hearts and minds campaigns are well under way before the military moves in, that way the US military will be busy with an insugency in the South and on the West coast to deal with by the time the Canadian military storms through the US border.

Funny movie.

True: The Mexican Army has already made several raids into Texas, and the US has not made any real efforts to stop them.

 

[FiveParadox]

I think not, that is exactly what I mean! There's no reason for the United States to invade Canada at all — I mean, granted, we have some natural resources that the United States may epress interest in, in the future; but that's what trade is for, right?

I see no reason for Canada to feel threatened by the United States.

 

[missile]

Did you forget about all the WMD's we have hidden here? And the Dreaded Yellow Snow biological weapons we are preparing for the attack.

Good for you FiveParadox, and you most certainly should never feel threatened by the US.

Whenever I see similar threads like this on other forums, the biggest defense most people bring up is that the world would come to Canadas aid, and by doing so, they neglect who will NEVER allow such an invasion to take place, the American people.

 

[Curiosity]

ITN... the American people and....

.... the military itself.

I believe there would be a major stand down and refusal to carry out any order such as northern invasion without a provocation initiated first.

Have you seen his latest commercial? He must have some major back problems.

They will invade for water.

Re: RE: Invasion of Canada

Well what pushes my buttons is when you say that the Canadian Vest has the US Military in awe. The bottom line is making the equipment that is on the load bearing vest lighter. We naturally can't make ammo lighter or water but all armed forces use load bearing equipment. May I ask what makes the Canadian vest superior than the American as far as load bearing?

The US has not used black boots for years. When I was in we were issued black boots but now they issue Gortex boots to all Marines. Black leather boots are history and good ridens to them as they were not efficient at all. When I fought in Panama we were issued Vietnam era Jungle Boots which were slightly better than all leather boots. The Gortex boots they use today are more superior. Plus you don't have to polish them and that was a pain when you were in garrison.

Maybe as a Marine I don't like the idea of digging in at all but I do see the need for static defense in certain situations. As long as you are not digging in for an extended period of time. Mobile arty is more self sustained than a fixed arty unit.

*Sigh* another American out of his element.

Ok, first off, I didn't deem this vest better. I personally love it, but the people who did deem it better are members of your military Eagle. They deemed it better for two reasons they listed to me:

1. Greater carrying ability as opposed to their own vests
2. Adjustable ribbing that allows load weight to be removed from the shoulders and evenly dispersed across the whole torso. This reduces both shoulder pain and lower back stiffness.

Other than that I have no idea why the Americans I worked with liked it so much, perhaps it looked prety to them? I will admit fine, I embellished, perhaps not all Americans are in awe with it. I'm sorry for exagerating.

Yeah uh Eagle every U.S. soldier I have ever seen (not in a desert capacity) wears black boots, regardless of the style.:

In regards to gortex, yeah we've got them too...they're black.

As for your last point, we have both towed and self-propelled 155mm howitzers. As I mentioned we aquired towed for our expanding role in 'Ghan. They're not a World War II era weapon, they're still widely used and in some cases more effective than self-propelled.

Funny that I was at Annapolis this year and the Marines all had Gortex Boots, meaning non black and non leather. They were a sand type color just like they wear in the desert. That is the type of boots that are being issued to the Marines.

Now maybe the Army still has some people wearing leather boots.

In my four years as a Marine I never worked or even met with a Canadian soldier. Nor did I see any of their gear.

Where ever you put gear the shoulders will bear the weight. Unless you attach it to your BDU trousers. How can it not?
