Boycott US
Overview:
The community dedicated to boycotting the US until they stop fascism, restore full democracy and start following international law.
Americans have a moral obligation to resist Donald Trump and project 2025 at every turn.
America is a flawed democracy currently being ruled by oligarchs. Stop the backslide! Dont let America become the next Hungary.
America needs to challenge the court rulings of citizens united v. fec and shelby county v. holder, protect the media, implement independent district drawing, and the single transferable vote so they don't end up having people stay home in life-changing elections because they cannot vote for their favourite candidate.

I don't blame the Canadians.
I don't either, it's totally rational response. I feel sorry for Canadians too because they are powerless, and also because I unironically, sincerely, not-trying-to-be-an-edgelord believe that they will become a property of the US in the future.
The USA will regret that choice if they do it.
Keep in mind here that the Geneva ~~Checklist~~Conventions were created in part because of how CANADIANS behaved in WWI. See, all y'all have a serious problem if you bring Canada into your fold by hook and crook. Unlike the usual places all y'all go adventuring in to shoot or bomb brown people, most Canadians look like you. Talk like you. Can easily pass for you. We also have huge unsettled space in which to conceal ourselves while training, kind of like how the Taliban had no trouble finding safe-ish places to train in Afghanistan until they finally drove all y'all out.
So consider how hard it would be to defend yourselves from a Canadian version of the Taliban. We already have a history of being utterly ruthless on the battlefield, and that's when none of the combatants were actually a direct threat to our nation and nor were they occupying our nation. You think our forces will be better-behaved if you annex us...?
There won't be a safe place in the USA where Canadians couldn't strike.
I don't doubt you or the people. Please don't shoot the messenger, but the image that I see is more like economic possession. I don't see any Afghanistan style occupation or conflict, but rather economic control by proxy and that there are those amongst your people that will sell the rest of you out. The aristocrat class will remain as usual and they will align with US interest. I hope I am wrong because I prefer a world where power is balanced as much as possible.
