Bomb, Halifax, Montreal, and Quebec City - This is NO LAUGHING MATTER

who believe that Donald Trump is "joking" about annexing Canada and "capturing" its resources are putting their ostrich heads in the sand Think again, and learn from the history wherein the USA has already attacked Canada, with more "Attack Agendas" on the books.
The United States has a history of being "expansionist" from its earliest beginning. It's financial and corporate ELITES - presently known as the DEEP STATE , or Shadow Government - have determined its Laws and Agendas, especially in the last 100+years, to serve THEIR vested interests. Controlling, owning, all of North America has always been on its militaristic Agenda - an Agenda that now extends to the whole planet under One World Government Totalitarian Dictatorship. The facade of "democracy" is just that - facade - to camouflage their more SECRET War operations from the public.

Their "World Control" Agenda has kept the planet in turmoil and chaos for MANY decades - instigating and waging war all over the planet.

Attached is an article by Prof Michel Chossudovsky of Global Research detailing the "wars and war plans" against Canada over more than a century.

This is an article that every Canadian must read - and hopefully shed their innocent gullibility about the Deep State rooted in the government and military of their southern neighbor.

No, Trump was not, and is not, JOKING !

To make things worse, Trudeau and Freeland were both trained and commissioned to deliver Canadian sovereignty to the WEF, WHO and UN - the implementation, operational headquarters of the One World Government Agendas of the Elite oligarchs,

Introduction
As “Leader of the Free World”, Donald Trump’s twisted narrative is for Canada to join “MAGA America” and
for Justin to be nominated as Governor of the 51st state.
It started as a joke at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence, which unfolded into bitter laughter.
There are historical precedents which are the object of this article.
Both Donald Trump’s statement as well as the response by the Prime Minister of Canada border on
ridicule.

Justin’s failure to respond in his capacity as Canada’s a “head of government” was noticeably marked by
ignorance regarding the history of Canada-U.S. relations since Confederation in 1867.
We cannot blame Trudeau. Our history books fail to acknowledge the US War Department’s “Joint
Army and Navy Basic War Plan - Red” to invade Canada in the 1930s.
There was Laughter at Mar a Lago. But Donald was not joking. He posted on X (formerly Twitter) that
“many Canadians” in fact “want” Canada to become the 51st state: they would save on “taxes and military
protection”.
While Justin Trudeau responded to Trump’s call for a 25% tax on goods imported from Canada and
Mexico, one would have expected that he would have referred to the US Tariff Schedule (Duty Rates)
contained in the 2020 “NEW NAFTA” Agreement between the U.S., Mexico and Canada to which both
Trump and Trudeau were signatories (see image below).
The statements made by Donald Trump to his guests at Mar-a-Lago were by no means spontaneous.
Were they the object of prior discussions with his advisors?
The issue of Annexation as well an outright invasion of Canada have been on the drawing board of the
U.S. War Department since the end the First World War.
1. What Canadians Know: British North America Act. Confederation (1867)
Most Canadians are fully aware of the U.S. intent to annex several territories of British North America
culminating with the defunct 1866 Annexation Bill, not to mention the Alaska Purchase in May 1867, two
months prior to The Enactment of the British North America Act, leading to the creation of the Dominion
of Canada. Confederation on July 1st, 1867.

The Bill to Annex Canada was introduced in 1866, While it was not adopted by the House of
Representatives, the text of the bill was nonetheless a draft of an invasion plan. It was to come into
force upon its proclamation by US president Andrew Johnson (right). It included the territories of British
North America from Newfoundland and the Maritimes to British Columbia, extending North into the Hudson
Bay territory and North West Territory bordering onto “Russian America” (i.e Alaska) (see map below).
It consisted in the outright confiscation of public lands. It also implied US control over the trans Canada
railway system, waterways, canals as well as control over the Saint Lawrence seaway.
The US government had also contemplated paying “compensation” to the Hudson Bay Company. This
consisted essentially in a plan to confiscate the territories under H.B.C jurisdiction (see map), “in full
discharge of all claims to territory or jurisdiction in North America, whether founded on the charter of the
[Hudson Bay] company or any treaty, law, or usage.”
The United States will pay ten millions of dollars to the Hudson Bay Company in full discharge of all claims
to territory or jurisdiction in North America, whether founded on the charter of the company or any treaty,
law, or usage. (Article XI)
The territorial division of British North America is outlined in the bill. The various constituent “Canadian
states” would conform to US laws in setting up their legislature.
2. What Canadians Do Not Know. Omitted From Our History Books

While the 1866 Annexation project was stalled upon the adoption of the British North American Act in
1867, US plans to annex and/or invade Canada militarily were contemplated in the 1930s.
In the immediate wake of World War I, Washington’s intent was to undermine, destabilize and destroy the
British Empire, an objective which was largely completed in the wake of World War II.
What has been omitted from our history books in schools, colleges and universities is that our American
neighbour had envisaged to wage war on Canada. The U.S. War Department had drafted in the early
1920s a plan to Invade the Dominion of Canada.
As of the mid-1930s, the war plans against Canada consisted in the bombing of Montreal, Quebec City,
Halifax and Vancouver. The use of “poison gas” was part of that project.
3. “War Plan Red” Against Canada Under the Helm of General D. MacArthur
In the late 1920s, Washington formulated a detailed plan to invade Canada, entitled “Joint Army and
Navy Basic War Plan - Red”. The plan was approved by the US War Department under the presidency
of Herbert Hoover in 1930. It was updated in 1934 and 1935 during the presidency of Franklin D.
Roosevelt. It was withdrawn in 1939 following the outbreak of the Second World War.
War Plan Red was officially approved by the US War Department in May 1930. The 1928 draft stated
that:
“it should be made quite clear to Canada that in a war she would suffer grievously”.
According to Floyd Rudmin. quoting the documents of the US War Department:
If US war plans for the conquest of Canada provoke laughter, that is a comment on those who are
laughing, not a comment on the war plans. In its day, War Plan RED was not meant to be funny.
The 1928 draft stated that “it should be made quite clear to Canada that in a war she would suffer
grievously.”
The 1930 draft stated that “large parts of CRIMSON territory will become theaters of military
operations with consequent suffering to the population and widespread destruction and
devastation of the country…“24 In October 1934, the Secretary of War and Secretary of Navy
approved an amendment authorizing the strategic bombing of Halifax, Montreal and Quebec City by
“immediate air operations on as large a scale as practicable.”
General Douglas MacArthur who subsequently led US forces in The Pacific during World War II, not to
mention the conduct of the carpet bombing raids against North Korea (1950-1953) was actively involved
from 1930-1937. General MacArthur had been appointed U.S Army Chief of Staff in 1930.
The war plan was explicitly geared towards the conquest of Canada by the U.S.
“The U.S. Army’s mission, [written in capital letters], was “ULTIMATELY, TO GAIN COMPLETE
CONTROL OF CRIMSON [Canada].”
The war plan directed against Canada initially formulated in 1924 was entitled “Joint Army and Navy
Basic War Plan - Red”.
According to Floyd Rudmin quoting the original war documents (link no longer functional).
“Though ostensibly for war against Britain Plan RED is almost devoid of plans to fight the
British. The Plan is focused on the conquest of Canada, which was color- coded CRIMSON. The
1924 draft declared that U.S. “intentions are to hold in perpetuity all CRIMSON and RED territory
gained… The Dominion government [of Canada] will be abolished.”
The US War Department acknowledged that this war was not against Britain. The strategic bombing of
Halifax, Montreal and Quebec City was envisaged under Plan RED. Moreover, the US Army had been
instructed (in capital letters),
“TO MAKE ALL NECESSARY PREPARATIONS FOR THE USE OF CHEMICAL WARFARE FROM
THE OUTBREAK OF WAR. THE USE OF CHEMICAL WARFARE, INCLUDING THE USE OF TOXIC
AGENTS, FROM THE INCEPTION OF HOSTILITIES, IS AUTHORIZED…” (quoted by Floyd Rudmin,
op cit).
“In March 1935, General Douglas MacArthur proposed an amendment making Vancouver a priority
[bombing] target comparable to Halifax and Montreal.” (Ibid)

4. “War Red Plan” to Invade Canada. SECRET Stamped on the Cover
The historical documents of Annexation (1866), Invasion of Canada “War Plan Red” (1930) and “War
Plan Red” (1935) (95 pages) are contained in Annex II and III in my earlier article. War Plan Red, see
also here
These documents are part of our history. It is important that “War Plan Red” (1930 and 1935) be firmly
acknowledged and debated in schools, colleges and universities across the land.
Secretary of War Patrick J. Hurley (1929-33) was largely instrumental in the formulation and approval of
Plan Red by the US administration.
The plan to invade Canada consisted of a 94-page document “with the word SECRET stamped on the
cover. It had been formulated over a period of more than five years (See full text in Annex of my earlier
article).
In February 1935, the [US] War Department arranged a Congressional appropriation of $57 million dollars
to build three border air bases for the purposes of pre-emptive surprise attacks on Canadian air
fields. The base in the Great Lakes region was to be camouflaged as a civilian airport and was to
“be capable of dominating the industrial heart of Canada, the Ontario Peninsula” (from p. 61 of the
February 11-13, 1935, hearings of the Committee on Military Affairs, House of Representatives, on Air
Defense Bases (H.R. 6621 and H.R. 4130). This testimony was to have been secret but was published
by mistake. See the New York Times, May 1, 1935, p. 1.
In August 1935, the US held its largest peacetime military manoeuvres in history, with 36,000 troops
converging at the Canadian border south of Ottawa, and another 15,000 held in reserve in
Pennsylvania. The war game scenario was a US motorized invasion of Canada, with the defending
forces initially repulsing the invading Blue forces, but eventually to lose “outnumbered and outgunned”
when Blue reinforcements arrive. This according to the Army’s pamphlet “Souvenir of of the First Army
Maneuvers: The Greatest Peace Time Event in US History” (p.2). ( Professor F.W. Rudmin, Queen’s
University Kingston, Ontario, Comments on “War Plan Red”, see complete text in Annex III)
One of the updates to the 1930 invasion plan was the use of chemical weapons against Canadian
civilians:
“In 1934, War Plan Red was amended to authorize the immediate first use of poison gas against
Canadians and to use strategic bombing to destroy Halifax if it could not be captured.” (Ibid)
It is worth noting that in the course of World War II, a decision was taken by the War Department to retain
the invasion plan on the books. It was shelved. War Plan Red was declassified 35 years later in 1974.
The Washington Post, which casually dismissed the historical significance of “Joint Army and Navy Basic
War Plan - Red”, nonetheless acknowledged the aggressive nature of the proposed military endeavor:
“A bold plan, a bodacious plan, a step-by-step plan to invade, seize and annex our neighbor to the
north. …First, we send a joint Army-Navy overseas force to capture the port city of Halifax, cutting the
Canadians off from their British allies.
Then we seize Canadian power plants near Niagara Falls, so they freeze in the dark.
Then the U.S. Army invades on three fronts - marching from Vermont to take Montreal and Quebec,
charging out of North Dakota to grab the railroad center at Winnipeg, and storming out of the Midwest
to capture the strategic nickel mines of Ontario.
Meanwhile, the U.S. Navy seizes the Great Lakes and blockades Canada’s Atlantic and Pacific ports.
… “(Raiding the Icebox; Behind Its Warm Front, the United States Made Cold Calculations to Subdue
Canada, by Peter Carlson, Washington Post, 30 December 2005, emphasis added).
While the above Washington Post assessment describes the features of an all out war against Canada, the
Global and Mail twists realities upside down. The Red War Plan to Attack CRIMSON was casually
presented as a peacemaking endeavor to rightfully defend the U.S. against the British:
First approved in 1930, Joint Army and Navy Basic War Plan – Red was drawn up to defend the
United States in the event of war with Britain.
It was one of a series of such contingency plans produced in the late 1920s. Canada, identified as
Crimson, would be invaded to prevent the Britons from using it as a staging ground to attack the
United States. (Globe and Mail, December 31, 2005, emphasis add)

The original documents pertaining to the invasion of Canada including “War Plan Red” and Canada’s
“Defence Scheme No. 1.” are in the archives of the US Army War College in Carlisle, Pa. [link no longer
active]
The complete text of War Plan Red is contained in Annex III. The complete text of the 1866 Annexation
Plan is contained in Annex I.
The plan is detailed. It involves both military as well an intelligence components.
According to historian John Major “War, Plan Red” also consisted in “a series of possible pre-emptive
American campaigns to invade Canada in several areas and occupy key ports and railways before
British troops could provide reinforcement to the Canadians…”
5. Canada’s National Defense
The Canadian federal government and military were fully aware of these “Secret” US plans to invade
Canada. In the 1920s, Lieutenant James “Buster” Sutherland Brown had been appointed Director of
Military Operations and Intelligence in Ottawa to address the issue of Canada’s national security. (image
right)
His tasks consisted in developing contingency war plans in the case of a US attack against the Dominion of
Canada. Under the helm of “Buster” Sutherland Brown (subsequently promoted to Brigadier), Canada’s
response to US threats was formulated under “Defence Scheme No. 1”, a counterattack contingency
plan, in the case of a US invasion.
“Defense Scheme No. 1” was abandoned in 1931 by Canada’s chief of the general staff, A.G.L.
McNaughton (following the adoption of “War Plan Red” in 1930) , on the grounds that “the Americans
would inevitably win such a war” and there was no use in acting upon a contingency plan.

6. Ottawa Caves In
The watershed decision by the Conservative government of Prime Minister R. B. Bennett which came to
office in August 1930 was to abandon Canada’s national defense plan. This decision constituted a
de facto recognition of US hegemony in North America.
While the invasion of Canada under Joint Army and Navy Basic War Plan - Red was not carried out, the
military threat of a U.S invasion plan has served to oblige Canada to ultimately surrender to US
political and economic pressures.
