Factual or fictional? Feel free to make your own conclusions from it; however, it does sound "suspiciously" well laid-out in said article - nonetheless, it could simply be media spin.
It did make for an interesting 5 minute read, however - that was one fact. ::)

The Brits had theirs I'm sure. It was the cultture of the polittical world but the strategy against Canada to cripple the Brits is certtainly intregueing.

Are you stating that the Yanks are just pawns in the game of World Chess.
Remember that at the end of the WWII, America only came into the war after the Japanese bombed their homeland.
Even though they already had the alliances and agreements which gave the US so much power signed with all the countries but the people and their laws could not fully support it until there was an attack on their home soil.
Hmmmm, and they tell us it was A SURPRISE attack! So many ships, so many spies, over such a huge distance?

It was definitely no surprise. My grandfather was a cryptographer in the U.S. Army Signal Corp during WWII (Pacific Theater). He met another cryptographer who had been stationed at Pearl Harbor who said his section had deciphered a Japanese code that not only gave the location of the impending attack, but the date as well! This information was, in turn, relayed to the the Secretary of Defense and finally, Roosevelt. Roosevelt, obviously, did not act on this info and the rest is history. No big surprise. He wanted the war, more as an economic solution than anything else. But to willingly allow U.S. soldiers and sailors die in order to incite the populace is unforgivable in my book. To give him some credit, you'll remember all four of our aircraft carriers were not in port that day. They were ordered to go on an impromptu training mission shortly before. Guess who initiated that order?.
