Canada

Do you have any idea how hard it is to focus on school/studying when this is the kind of news that keeps popping up?

It would another Vietnam or Afghanistan. They'd invade, kill a few thousand maybe million people, mire around, and then retreat again with their funds drained and thousands of crippled veterans with PTSD.

It would cause a civil war within US itself.

The modern US hasn't fought a war with someone right next door, who looks and talks like them. Not only would it be hard to hold captured cities, but I think many Canadian fighters would walk across that massive unsecured border and start fucking up US resources like electrical stations, water supplies, subway systems, internet backbones, government buildings, . It is super easy to buy guns and ammo in the US, bombs are not hard to make. We would have a fair amount of local support as well.

We Canadians could just walk around the US in public and you've never know it.

decades long is an understatement. unless they mean the US itself will collapse

Come fuck around with Canada, murica! We'll be waiting for you!

I'd join the insurgency from within. We have lots of overkill guns down here and very little supervision over who can buy them.

Elbows Up!

Is there any communities dedicated to helping Canadians prep? IE, content like guides on getting your PAL, information on firearms, and just general independence and (realistic) prepping advice?

I don't know why everyone assumes the use of military force to annex Canada would take the form of a massive conventional invasion. Hybrid warfare approaches like spreading misinformation, covert ops, stirring up local pro-American militias, etc. could do 95% of the work, without the sort of overt violence that generates insurgencies.

It's very possible to defend against hybrid threats, but only if we recognize the threat exists instead of assuming a US invasion would necessarily be a catastrophic strategic blunder.

Do they mean an insurgence comprised of Canadians or US folk...? Both maybe.

It'd be like a remake of Red Dawn but with the cast of Letterkenny.

Starting to really consider a meshtastic device for every family member. Thankfully, we mostly all live within range of each other.

Because going to war with people who like the cold is always a good idea.

Smh

How tough would it be for an insurgency force in a nation with high gun ownership rates and who have been more or less comfortable committing war crimes in the past? I suspect Canadians would drop the officer average lifespan by at least a decade.

True 25 years ago. Now consider that the U.S. controls Android and Iphone. Every location and message from every person

Canadians will walk amongst their invaders. They wont be safe.

I can’t believe this is even being contemplated.

Come on USA : Invade Canada during winter and kneel under the barrage of exploding hockey pocks.

Canada is home to millions of conflict refugees (i.e. veterans) from SE Asia, northern Africa, and the Middle East. I don’t know what would happen, but I hope this would be a significant factor in any insurgency.

I would join the canadian insurgents. Fuck this government
