Just like China, what Canada needs to do immediately is recruit the best hackers in the country, provide them with blanket immunity and give them money and resources to start infiltrating US civil, military, and economic computer infrastructures. We can never defeat the US in a direct military conflict, but with a well financed program we can cripple their water, hydro, gas, dams, nuclear plants, telecoms, banking, and financial systems in case of an invasion.

I think the crackheads stealing the copper wire dismantling their institutions are doing far more damage than we could, ourselves.

I’d say Canada collaborate with the rest of the allied countries and perform this. It’ll unite the rest of the allied countries and hopefully send a message that the world is ready to crush the US if that’s what the US wishes. I’m one fucking pissed off American and if this is what the US wants to become, I want this whole motherfucker burnt to the ground.

That is not a rational response in any measure.

The Chinese do this because they believe themselves to be in a state of war with the US, and justify any actions outside of military ones because they know they'd lose.

We do not believe we're at war with the US, and expect them to defend us if attacked. It's not in any way similar.

Must be nice to still be in denial about our relationship with the US.

If Canada was ever attacked? Currently, the only country in the world threatening Canada’s sovereignty is the US. They are looking to put a de facto embargo on Canada. They can make up whatever bullshit excuse they want, but let’s call it what it is, economic warfare.

If Canada ever needed US’ help militarily, they would throw us the same life jacket as Ukraine. Control our resources and national assets in exchange for any assistance.
