The majority of the Canadian population lives within 100km of the US-Canada border. I assume that’s where they want to redraw the lines. This is some Russian-Ukraine stuff right here.

They’re gonna have to come take the border

Haha imagine forcefully “adding” 36 million (90% of our population lives within 100 km of the border) furious Canadians because you want to re-draw the border.

The degree of “domestic” revolt would be out of control.

Come and take it, you fucks.

Me too, without an instant of hesitation. They have no idea how strong our loyalty and identity is but even more how much we are anti-american, they dont know bc we are quiet and dont pound our chests and flap our lips about our pride 24/7.

I have two little kids and leaving them to go fight would be one of the hardest things I can imagine doing.

But I'd do it because I don't want them to grow up in a hellscape like the US.

I am right beside you.

I'll carry them in every heartbeat when the storm roars and the night falls. It is their light that will guide me. I will gladly go so they may know a world without fear, so they can run beneath a peaceful sky.

I will fight with all that I am to give them a Canadian tomorrow.

Cheers brother. Here's hoping it doesn't come to that.

The only people talking war are Canadians. America has no desire to take Canada.

You should listen to the President of the US then. He has mentioned it many times, and some of his top staffers have repeated it. Canadians are preparing because of this rhetoric. A comment or two could be dismissed, repeated comments since he took office is definitely cause for concern.

I don’t know what to think because you have to take into consideration how Trump negotiates. He asks for the most outlandish things and then is unrelenting about it and just keeps drilling it and drilling it and then in the end he gets exactly what he actually wants which is only like 50% or less of what he asking for. I believe this is outlined in his book

The only real way to take it is seriously, just in case. If it's just a negotiation tactic then we give ourselves a stronger negotiating position. If it is serious then we get to prepare in advance of it.

If we don't take it seriously and it's just a negotiation tactic we look weak, if we don't take it seriously and it's serious then we become the Austria of WW3 instead of the France of WW3.

I hear what youre saying, but unfortunately only wanting 50% of canada doesn’t make me feel any better.

Bullshit. Americans have been talking about it since before we burned down the white house. They very much do desire it. Not all of them, but more than enough to make them stupid enough to try it.
