Canada

MAGA dipshits severely underestimate how many Canadians would actually enjoy taking a break from the rat race to repel invaders.

I wouldn't. Why conduct the destructive mess that is a war in our own living room?

I'd contribute to any effort to make long range drones that strike energy and electronic infrastructure deep inside the US instead.

Keep the destruction over there. Watch American arrogance melt away as they realize that fighting a war isn't just some thing they send troops elsewhere to die over while they get to stay comfy and safe at home anymore.

Plenty of Americans are hoping a dumb ass move like that is enough to weaken the morons in charge and join your side.

Like both coasts and most of the bordering states would have majorities on Canada’s side.

Sounds like the same play book that is used with great success in Europe currently.

as article points out: that one person is supported by a whole class of Americans - the billionaires. And those in turn are supported by not insignificant portion of American population. So plural is very apropos here.

And 1/3 follow without reservation.

The problem being we only have a slightly larger population, so it'd be pretty close to you annexing us. That's not really the end of the world, TBH, but for many Canadians it would be a dealbreaker. Cutting off the rural bits would help, but not much since they're rural (and, honestly, we could use some domestic produce growing, anyway).

It's just one of the biggest states in one of the most populous countries.

Convince Oregon and Washington to come too, I want to be able to drive to my new vacation spot.

Hey, California -- wake up!!!! You do not need to be part of Canada to survive. Your economy is already fifth in the entire world, of all other countries, in GDP. Far ahead of Canada. You would 100% survive and prosper. Once you stop sending you're hard-earned tax dollars to Washington, but instead fund everything Washington funds with your own tax dollars, you are still billions of dollars ahead. By any measure, California is a lot better off as an independent country than as a US state.

You already have a credible National Guard air and land force that would for the basis of a defense force.

The referendum in 2028 can make or break your future.

SACRAMENTO, Calif., March 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- CalExit.Now, the movement advocating for California sovereignty, today released a statement marking a historic shift in statewide public opinion. A recent California poll reports that, for the first time since polling on this question began, a majority of Californians now either strongly support, or do not oppose, pursuing California sovereignty. The combined figure stands at 51 percent.

They'll be aiming to crush Canada economically until Albertans are sure they want to go it alone. Then they can start physically dismantling the country, starting with Alberta, and intensifying the economic pressure on the rest until Canada submits to de facto US rule. They can formalize it later with humilitating treaties and guns.

Canada needs to work quickly on economic and military independence. Our whole international position needs to change before the USA really gets going with the program. And Canada needs to figure out how to make it very painful for the USA if it attempts anything. If ever the USA invades, we need to already be there inside their country, physically and virtually, making life hard for them in surprising ways. And we need to build up alliances until they're so strong that it becomes uncomfortable for our allies to flake out and go along with the USA.

Yeah the people in here who are imagining some kind of WW2-esque total-war scenario are not living in reality...

I mean, I get it. It's heroic and satisfying to imagine oneself going down in a blaze of glory or getting into a firefight or a slugfest with a bunch of boots-on-the-ground foreign invaders, but that's not the century we're in.
