    Jokes aside its quite possible. Ukrainian partnerships with canada on domestic drone production, the US would burn perpetually if they dared. They are projecting a weak canada to save face, but they dare not mistaken canadian politeness for weakness. There is a reason Trump says we are the hardest do deal with of any country. Because we are done putting up with their shit. To be Canadian means to not be Amerikkkan.

      The military isn’t my concern. I’m interested how many of us would form gangs jumping the vast undefended border to cosplay as MAGA while attacking infrastructure and lighting forests on fire for years and years. Hopefully I never find out.

      The US is the only country to have used nukes in war

        Remember the wildfires earlier this year? The US would irradiate themselves if they nuked Canada. Sure, Trump might try to piss into the wind, but the rest are way too selfish to let him.

          Depends how they use the nuke. Airbursts are pretty clean

          Vapourising/torching cities would be an unlawful order, though. And still far fetched; they want to own us, not kill us all.

      The Canadian military relies heavily on the US partnership, not to mention the average urban Canadian has never seen, held or heard a firearm, as much as liked to say that we have a chance it’s certainly would be a slim one.

        The fuck kind of argument is that? How hard could it be to learn to use a gun? Students in the USA use it all the time.

        Why don’t you google per capita firearm ownership, lol.

          2.4 million folks who have their PAL in this country with a population of 40.5 million people, that’s 6.17% of the population.

          https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Possession_and_Acquisition_Licence

          https://www.worldometers.info/world-population/canada-population/

          It’s important to note while people may have their PAL, they don’t necessarily own firearms.

            Canada is 7th in the world in terms of firearms per capita. I’m sure we’d be okay.

                Sharp sticks with shit on them will do, as we’ve seen from history.

                  History may have a cadence but it doesnt repeat.

                  If we want a chance we need nukes and mass drone production.
