American invasion of Canada would spark decades -long insurgency, expert predicts.

Trump started openly musing about making Canada the 51st state in December , and on Jan. 7 he said the United States might use the military to seize control of Greenland and the Panama Canal .

Americans have a poor track record at counter-insurgency, expert says.

American military historian Eliot Cohen said Canadians shouldn’t lose sleep about a U.S. invasion.

Cohen said Trump ’s bluster and brow-beating should not be taken seriously.

Cohen used a tongue-in-cheek approach to warn Americans against invading Canada , pointing out that previous attempts led to dismal results.
