Ra'iisul Wasaaraha Kanada Mark Carney ayaa qirtay inuu bilaabay diyaargarow xaalad uusan waligiis ka fikirin, taas oo ah weerar uu Mareykan ku qaado Canada. Inkastoo suurtagalnimada khatartan ay aad u yar tahay, haddana mas'uuliyaddiisa ayaa ah inuu tixgeliyo dhammaan xaaladaha suurtagalka ah xilliga uu xilka hayo Donald Trump.
Diyaargarowka Milatariga iyo Fikirka Dadweynaha
Canada waxay ka fikirtay xaalado suurtagal ah oo duullaan Mareykan ka yimaada ah iyada oo loo marayo diyaargarow iyo qorsheyn, ka dib canshuuraha caalamiga ah ee Donald Trump iyo rabitaankiisa soo noqnoqda ee ah inuu Canada ka dhigo gobolka 51-aad ee Mareykanka. Sannadkii 2025, madaxweynaha Mareykanka wuxuu sheegay inay 'aad u yar tahay' in Mareykanku uu waligiis awood u adeegsado Canada.
Ka dib markii Mareykanku uu bishii Janaayo xiray Madaxweynaha Venezuela Nicolas Maduro, in ka badan 30% dadka reer Canada ayaa sheegay inay arkayeen suurtagalnimada in Mareykanku uu weerar ku qaado Canada, sida lagu sheegay sahan ay sameysay shirkadda Ledger. Dagaal dhexmara Canada iyo Mareykanka ayaa noqon lahaa mid aad u cakiran oo ku dhow wax aan la qiyaasi karin, sida uu sheegay sarkaal sare oo hore uga tirsanaan jiray Ciidanka Cirka ee Canada, Lieutenant General Christopher Coates.
Iskaashiga Difaaca iyo Taariikhda Xiriirka
Labada dal waxay iska kaashadaan dhinacyo badan oo la xiriira difaaca. Labada waddanba waxay xubno ka yihiin Ururka Heshiiska Waqooyiga Atlantic (NATO), kaas oo waajibinaya in dalalka xubnaha ka ah ay difaacaan dal kale oo xubin ka ah haddii la soo weeraro. Sida uu qabo Christopher Coates, 'Xaaladahan oo kale, haddii Mareykanku uu go'aansado inuu weeraro Canada, waxay u badan tahay inuu ku bilaabo habab aamusan oo aan si weyn loo dareemin, sida dagaalka dhanka internet-ka, halkii uu adeegsan lahaa tallaabo ciidan oo toos ah.'
Ka dib Dagaalkii Labaad ee Adduunka, Canada iyo Mareykanka waxay noqdeen xulaf dabiici ah qeybtii labaad ee qarnigii 20-aad, waqti ka dibna, xiriirka dhaqaale, militari iyo midka dhaqan ee ka dhexeeya labada dal ayaa sii xoogeystay. Sida uu sheegay Tim Foran, oo ah cilmi-baare ka tirsan Matxafka Dagaalka ee Canada, diidmada ku aaddan ballaarinta awoodda Mareykanka ee qarniyadii 18-aad iyo 19-aad waxay ahayd qayb aasaasi ah oo ka mid ah aqoonsiga qaran ee Canada.
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has confirmed that his government is preparing for a scenario it has never previously considered: a military attack by the United States. Speaking to the New York Times, Carney stated that while the likelihood of such an event is extremely low, it is his responsibility to account for all possibilities given the changing nature of US-Canada relations under Donald Trump.
Strategic Planning and Public Perception
Canada has been planning for potential US aggression through defense readiness and strategic planning, following Donald Trump's global tax proposals and his recurring suggestion that Canada become the 51st state. Despite a 2025 statement by the US President asserting that the US would never use force against Canada, public anxiety has risen. Following the US detention of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro in January, a survey by the Ledger company found that over 30% of Canadians now perceive a real possibility of a US attack.
A senior former Canadian Air Force officer, Lieutenant General Christopher Coates, who served for 34 years, described a war between the two nations as catastrophic and nearly unimaginable. He noted that while the two countries share extensive defense cooperation, including NATO membership which obligates mutual defense, the nature of a conflict might shift. Coates suggested that if the US decided to attack, it would likely begin with subtle methods, such as cyber warfare, rather than direct military action.
Historical Context of Rivalry
While Canada and the US became natural allies after World War II, their relationship has not always been peaceful. Historian Tim Foran of Canada's War Museum noted that the rejection of US expansion in the 18th and 19th centuries was fundamental to Canadian national identity. Originally a gathering place for diverse peoples under British rule, the region saw early conflicts. In 1775, US forces took control of Montreal and nearly captured Quebec.
During the War of 1812, US troops launched sporadic attacks on Upper Canada, Lower Canada, and the Maritime Colonies, though the war ended without a decisive result. Notably, British forces burned the White House during this conflict in retaliation for US actions. Foran explained that during this era, the British forces that eventually became Canada relied on the Royal Navy and local Indigenous leaders for command, establishing a defensive posture that shaped the nation's early political identity.
