So, here's my defense plan for Canada. Basic philosophy: it is unsafe to wait for an attack.
1. Get public confirmation from NATO that Article 5 applies even if the aggressor is also a NATO member.
2. Send an ultimatum to Washington demanding a public acknowledgement of Canadian sovereignty by the President and confirmation of non-aggression.
3. In the absence of that acknowledgement, sever diplomatic ties, close the borders, and embargo trade. Blow bridges, tear up roads and rail lines.

I agree with this, not sure why the rest of NATO are ignoring trumps threats, maybe they are not taking those seriously enough and think it is just bluster.

I fully expect both the Other NATO partners and Canada are well aware of the risk and are planning contingencies, that's what Defence Departments do, and they have access to Intel not found online. They're not likely to hold a press conference on it
