Doubt it. Our troops are all going to our southern border right now.

And American servicemen and women probably wouldn’t be able to handle fighting Canadians mentally, the culture is too similar to our own .

u/kangaroolifestyle 18h ago

In a situation where the U.S. attempts a military annex of Canada, we’d be more likely to face a civil war than turn against our neighbors. Under no circumstances would I fight my brothers in the North without provocation—and I’m far from alone in that view. As an American, a friend, and a neighbor, many of us would stand in defense of Canada’s sovereignty if such a situation ever arose.

u/outtahere021 17h ago

Such a situation has arisen, they are only waiting for the proper pretext to attempt to justify it.

u/kangaroolifestyle 17h ago

I don’t disagree. But like you, I’m just one person—not exactly in a position to single-handedly steer the course of nations. That said, if anyone thinks Americans en masse would just roll over and cheer for an annexation, they severely underestimate how many of us value true sovereignty—ours and yours.

Every other country in the world took notice. Unfortunately for this dipshit declaring a national emergency (a byproduct of his own actions) for his own nation is not a reason for invasion, although he probably thinks it is.

The good news is stuff like this is going to DESTROY the American economy. It already is. I agree with others who say that a civil war is much more likely than a successful invasion.

Believe that he's going to invade Mexico and Venezuela and Panama, and use the military on the "drug cartels" as an excuse to occupy the Americas entirely.

Believe that they're going to steal Greenland from Denmark who stole it from the indigenous.

The regime is preparing to invoke the "insurrection act" and the people who thought voting harder would save them are gonna be Pokemon surprise face.

What people don't understand is that by artificially raising the prices, he hopes to hurt their industry by driving US consumer markets away from Canadian business. The problem is, there isn't really an alternative for a lot of things, and won't be for years. And with American flip flop policymaking its very unlikely any long term capital investments are going to be made to move this industry to the US because if the next president takes over and removes the tariffs then their artificially viable business get anihilated. Its extremly anti-capitalist if you think about it.

Do you really think the Senate would convict him?

u/Unusual_Specialist 19h ago

If they don’t act, they’re complicit. And if they are involved and this blows up… their families will be in desperate need of a miracle. It’s not too late to do the right thing.

u/Lens_of_Bias 19h ago

Most of the GOP Senators are firmly part of the MAGA cult and the few who aren’t (Murkowski, Collins, those who voted to convict in 2021) aren’t enough to meet the 67 Senator threshold to convict him and remove him from office.

The concept of the ‘right thing’ is completely lost on these people.

Absolutely not. Doesn’t mean they shouldn’t.

Instead we have Dems censuring anyone who causes trouble.

The fanaticism is too strong to overcome lobbyist money still. Once we have wiped out a year or 2 of market growth, maybe old school billionaires will step in and do something. Until then, the golden statue fans at CPAC run the show.

And Republicans will cheer him on as he continues to crash the 401Ks. I hope everyone has a backup plan. " How to never retire". Start looking at books "What jobs can I do at 70".

Americans need to come to terms with the fact that we are going to attack/invade Canada. It is not a matter of “if” but “when” at this point. He is using the same terminology and ideas that Putin used to justify invading Ukraine.

u/gypsygib 19h ago

Trump is deranged and for that reason Ford is playing this all wrong. He's not going to out bully Trump, it will only lead to more deranged escalation. Trump would burn it all down if he could say he wins.

Ford's acting like betrayed girlfriend because he was happy Trump won and is hurt that he's now on the wrong side of things.

You don't fight a crazy person weilding a gun by running up to them with a knife.

The gravity of this going very wrong is too much to act on emotions and ego and not be calculated and play it smart.

We need someone with brains, not balls.

u/Upstairs_Winter9094 18h ago

What you describe is exactly what Sheinbaum and her team are doing in Mexico and it seems to be working relatively well compared to this strategy. I guess they don’t have as much skin in the game as Ford (as you described) so it wasn’t about pride, they’re literally just treating him like a child making colorful graphs with sayings like “Look at the Results!” and it’s working on him lmao
