It’s inevitable. No one should trust the U.S. right now, and countries should be attempting to strengthen relations with each other to deal with the fallout that is bound to occur.
Canada and Mexico should make a mutual defense pact. Being pinched by land wars would make things much rougher for the US.
I hope our military is prepared to do something about it
Canadian military is a fraction of the size of the US military.
If invaded, prospects are bleak for Canada. The US has a better chance of invading Canada than they do invading Detroit.
Canadian citizens should arm up but I don’t think their laws allow for it.
I don’t think you’ve thought very deeply or very seriously about this.
I haven’t. There’s absolutely no need to “think deeply” about the strongest military in the world going up vs a nation that’s not in the conversation.
You’re a moron.
And you’re in 4th grade? Who the fuck immediately resorts to name calling instead of attempting to actually make a point. Loser.
I don’t have serious discussions with anyone who sincerely believes in American exceptionalism, just like I don’t have serious discussions with fascists. I am particularly disinclined to have any discussions with an American fascist who clearly has no respect for my country or the former alliance we had with the US. My country has literally bled for you ungrateful pricks, among many other contributions over decades, and I can’t think of a single thing you’ve done but bully us.
Discussing with your camp is never in good faith. You don’t believe in words, and there is no evidence or argument that is acceptable. It’s a waste of time to bother. Thankfully I believe you’re not representative of good Americans, who seem to have had enough of this bullshit.
By the way you should know your insults mean nothing to me. I’ve been called worse things by better people than you (I’m sure that’s a low bar to clear), and I’ve seen who you look up to. Get back on your knees for your orange daddy, maybe this time he’ll finish in your mouth.
It’s not American exceptionalism. It’s math.
Nearly two thirds of Canadians aren’t paying attention.
There are a lot of brain dead Albertans right now who are lining up to be completely obliterated by the US. They all think they’re going to become wealthy Americans, but the US just wants their resources…not them.
They really need to do some homework on the CNMI, because that’s their future as “Americans”.
They think, because they’re white, this won’t happen…but it was never a race war, it’s always been a class war.
And these people have no class.
They might not know about their equivalent in the US: Mississippi.
It’s really more like Texas. Populous, rich and with major cities that are a lot more progressive.
Do you actually live here, or is this just the theme park version of Alberta?
I don’t live there now, but am from Edmonton, and have spent most of my life there. All my family are still there and i visit a few times a year.
Ah. Lemmy shits on Alberta in particular so much I get defensive, sorry. Canadian Lemmy seems to overlook the exact same shit in other provinces.
Maple MAGA exists, but it’s a pretty tiny minority. Even in rural Alberta most people are pro-Canada.
I wouldn’t run it past Trump; the guy is mentally unstable and a psychopath.
… and the American people are feckless sheep
PS: although I must recognize that, since the murder of Renee Good, it does seem that some are waking up
What actual things have happened since her killing to give you any hope of meaningful resistance in the US since then? Not (strictly) rhetorical.
To my mind, the minute the Trump regime feel the least bit threatened you’d see things like mass arrests and possibly martial law. But the American would be resistance is still holding out that the world, or the US at least, will still be there in a year so that they get to see if Trump will allow free and fair midterms.
I think it shows a strange effect about American geography. It’s really hard to organize a meaningful, resilient, and camera-worthy resistance because we’re so spread out. It’s all about congregating at big cities, like LA, Portland or Minneapolis.
Like, if British people wanted to protest and resist in the streets, they go to London. All of them. It’s accessible. Americans can’t do that with Washington DC.
But I’m in Kansas City, and while our No Kings protests have had not-insignificant turnouts, it’s not as easy or impactful because we had three protest sites across two-state suburban area. Can we get that many Kansas Citians to flock to Minneapolis to disrupt ICE ops? No, not really. It’s why all the major protest and ICE disruptions happen in the biggest cities of the “blue”-est states.
It’s also winter in Minneapolis, it’d be like Europeans traveling to Norway to protest. America us a lot bigger than any single European country.
