State Department: No secret plan to invade Canada

And Grumbler knows.  He was in the US Navy in early 1920's.  He knew these people.

Reading up on War Plan: Red, it seems there was a Canadian counterpart - Defence Scheme No. 1.

Apparently the Canadian plan was for a surprise counter-attack, seizing Seattle, Fargo, Albany adn Maine in the early days, then slowly retreating, thus buying time for the inevitable British re-inforcements.

Well, that was one Canadian's plan, anyway.  It was never, as far as I can tell, actually adopted, nor were the forces it called for ever created.

In that sense, it was a lot like the claims for "War Plan Red."  The post-1930 elements of WPR appear to be just staff exercises in generic war planning, without any funding or resources.

Well the wiki article wasn't very useful, but I do have a copy of the first source listed, Burton's Marching As To War.  I don't know about "officially adopted, but it was an official government plan, and developed with support of one of the highest ranking Staff Officers.  Resources?  No, not really - and the whole thing was scrapped well before War Plan Red was officially scrapped in the US.

But an amusing little historical anecdote anyways.
