    The other 2/3rd’s are Carney-Pierre-voting Peronists who will welcome the invader with open arms. Canada still has easily over a trillion invested into the US economy not even counting citizen investments, there has been zero demand to divest investments, ban US propaganda platforms, plus most will allow Alberta to be annexed which will cause the greater Canschluss. Go ahead cry more, downvote, shoot the messenger.

    “‘How many members are there in it?’ That is the first question I am asked by newspaper reporters. ‘How many followers have you? By their number we shall judge whether what you say is true or false.’ I do not know how many there are. I am not concerned with that. As I said, if there were even one who had been set free, that is enough.” - J. Krishnamurti

    I don’t think the fascists have that capacity. Too many people in the chain of command would give pause. Bombing Iran or Venezuela, pieces of their invisible empire that slipped out of their grasp, is easy - the plans are all ready to go. Canada would be a fresh directive and it would take time to build the consensus that this was actually something the military and state department would go through with.

    Let’s be honest, the president is deeply unpopular with everyone except the dumbest and most incompetent humans. You have divorced dads who work in automotive and post Ron Paul memes calling him a pedophile protector to his face. People are just going to delay and drag their feet on anything he asks them to do that they don’t want to do.

    And the majority of my relatives in rural alberta are hoping it happens. White people who’s grandparents risked it all for what we have today. We are on a really sad timeline.

      Many in Sudetenland were hoping Hitler to invade. Neville Chamberlain/Czechoslovakia appeased them and made the world lose so much more. You are a traitor appeaser, shameful but you will likely be at war within a year or two so reap what you sow bastard, I’m just glad I had a chance to spit in your face.

        They think that the rest of canada steals all of alberta’s money. They can’t comprehend that corporations are robbing them, not ottawa. They think that alberta’s oil belongs to alberta, not canada, but they also think they are entitled to the rest of canada such as the coastline.

        I left alberta permanently and I’m so glad to be done with this toxic mindset. Brain rot.

    I think it’s important to prepare for it, whether it’s a 1% chance, 50% chance, or 90% chance.

    Unless we’re able to defend ourselves, in this world we’re going to get taken advantage of and mistreated. The current US comments and their embarrassment of an ambassador are a stark reminder of that.

    Canada,
    Please take the gloves off and bring the hurt.
    If you violate the geneva conventions, I won’t even hold it against you.
    Teach the United States how to say ‘we’re sorry’.
    WE HAVE IT COMING.

    You’ll even get to burn down the White House again!
    It’s already been hideously defaced by its current resident, honestly it’d be a kindness to put it out of its misery.
