I'm not at all surprised that the US has plans to invade Canada (plans which, I hope, will never be implemented), but it's startling to find out there is a Canadian plan to invade the US.

The Canadian plan was developed by the country's director of military operations and intelligence, a World War I hero named James Sutherland "Buster" Brown. Apparently Buster believed that the best defense was a good offense: His "Defence Scheme No. 1" called for Canadian soldiers to invade the United States, charging toward Albany, Minneapolis, Seattle and Great Falls, Mont., at the first signs of a possible U.S. invasion.

Minneapolis?

I'm not worried. If the Canadians show up here, I'd smile, wave, and offer 'em a beer. They'd take one sip and turn around and go home.
