Man I'm American with a good thing going these days, I do NOT want to go all the way to Canada and fight against my hillbilly neighbors but if it comes to it...
On second thought, :joins the IWW again:

I think you can do more with civil disobedience in your own country than you can by picking up a rifle for us. Unless half your damn country shows up willing to fight and die for us, we'll never have enough bodies to do anything but resist occupation and make guerilla strikes. Think less Vietnam and more The Troubles.
But America traditionally does very poorly in war without strong support at home. When Americans lose a war, it's never about guns and bombs, but always about domestic support falling through. And that'll be even more true under your newly minted fascist regime. The fascist lives and dies on the widely spread lie of its own heroic, masculine ideal. Undercutting that hurts the fascist regime pretty severely.
I'm too much of a coward, honestly. I'm trans, so if I get arrested I'll be made to detransition and sent to a men's prison and assigned to a violent criminal as his prison wife. I'll serve Canada though, if it comes to it.
Remember, you can always stay in your home country and fight for Canada through intentional gross incompetence:
Hey now, not all us Canadians are hillbillies! Some of us are rednecks, thankn y'kindly
I saw David Suzuki treating the waitress like shit in a restaurant here in Victoria last year
Edit: I want to add more cuz I fuckin hate David Suzuki. Virtue signaling rich piece of shit. Talks big about indigenous issues but owns land on several of the gulf islands.
Know several people who have met him and dudes a total asshole
Sadly, can corroborate. He was a jerk to my future wife at a book-signing 'cuz she didn't plonk a freshly-purchased copy of the new book he was reading from to get signed, but another one, after she gushed about how much his environmentalism and views had influenced her. I mean, yeah an author does readings and book signings to sell books, but a fan has still taken time to travel, sit and listen, and maybe will buy after the event.
Lol maybe he knew her personally and she's a conservative voter 😂
No he's a regular guest at the university I work at and I've heard so many nasty things. He's a fraud.
Is he a fraud or is he a smart dude that's just a total asshole?
I would say that someone who says they care about the environment but owns multiple acreages on unceded indigenous territory is a fraud. He certainly doesn't put his money where his mouth is.
Fuck anyone who treats their waitress poorly btw. It's a given you are a waste of skin if you do this.
