Did you know Canada once had a plan to invade the United States? On this episode of Rum Ration, Rejoy and Colin dig into Defence Scheme No. 1, a bold (and slightly absurd) military strategy from the 1920s.
Designed as a hit-and-run attack, the plan involved Canadian troops storming into U.S. cities—Seattle, Portland, Fargo, and even Albany—before sabotaging key infrastructure and retreating north.
Of course, America had its own War Plan Red in the 1930s, outlining a takeover of Canada’s major cities to preempt British intervention. While neither plan saw action, they highlight the "what ifs" of military history.
Pour a drink, tune in, and learn about the time Canada almost made Seattle an 11th province. Listen now!
