The US under Trump cannot be misunderstood: They are a threat to Canadian sovereignty. (m.youtube.com)

At the first Trump cabinet meeting, he stated his intentions clearly. He restated blatant lies and disinformation, and he won't really be questioned on it from the press or from any US politicians. The US is the enemy of Canada and should be understood as such. Take heed of his treatment of Ukraine - when he noted that they would lose the war without US help - and consider what he will propose when he uses the same argument on us. He makes it very clear in the video.

And very carefully consider which of our political leaders will stand up to Trump when he makes the argument that we need American military in our country to protect us.

We don't really have a military.

There is only one cou try in the world who would have a chance of standing up to America in conventional warfare, and it definitely isn't Canada. I don't think #2 would win either, but they have a chance.

You underestimate Canadian geographic advantage I think. I would love to see America try to occupy the rockies in the winter and I hope they wear bodycams when that happens so we can laugh after the fact

You can't hide an army in the rockies. You couldn't even really hide them in the Shield. But if there's an invasion I expect there will be a holding withdrawal and then a lot of guerilla groups with well-trained leaders will suddenly appear.

Wait till the rednecks on the east coast get ahold of them in the swamps. Hahahaha

We're definitely looking at insurgent warfare. Asymmetric as possible.

Bingo.

Something in the neighborhood of ΒΌ of Canadians has a registered firearm. That's pretty close to 10 million folks. With our long-standing hunting culture, if even half the people with a firearm decided to join an insurgency effort, and a relatively small amount of the rest of folk run support? That's gonna be a bad fucking time for the US.

Remember kids, until Canadians teamed up with the Polish, it was a Geneva Checklist. And we've already burnt the Whitehouse down twice.....
