Canada and the United States Go to War
While the books only hint at the possibility that the Gilead, which was once The United States, may go to war with Canada, if they cannot resolve their differences. Most people forget that the neighboring countries actually did face off with one another during The War of 1812.
The French settlers of Canada had to deal with the fact that Great Britain took over the countries in the 1800s. Since the United States already fought off the British during their own revolution, they saw this as another opportunity to get the crown away from North America. In reality, America was sticking their nose to an issue that wasn’t really their problem. The opinion among Canadians was divided. In the end, there was no real “winner” of the War of 1812, but of course, each side of the story will give you a different perspective.
