Canada needs to increase readiness at its southern border. Focus on where the threat is.
Canada's southern border is huge and almost its entire population lives very close to it. The USA could occupy our major cities very quickly and our military is far from a match for theirs. The whole system has been designed on the assumption that the USA will not become an enemy and can be reasonably expected to help defend Canada from other enemies, and Canada can manage with relatively small forces since it's geographically quite well protected except on the southern border. It was not designed to anticipate a rapid takeover of the USA by Nazis who immediately decide to attack all their former allies. We wrongly assumed the USA had its shit together even just a little bit.
"Defend" Canada by using Canada as a buffer zone between that (historically assumed to be Russian) hostile force and the USA.
I'm Canadian through and through. If the US goes over the border, they're going to have to put new entries in the Geneva Conventions. I'm already coming up with fucked up ways to deal with American Nazi shitfucks.
I got little to lose so I might as well make them remember me.
Agreed, but our military will be useless. The civilian guerrilla fighting will make them wish they had impeached trump the first time.
And its not going to be limited to Canadian territory. It would be stupidly easy to get across the border into the US and blend in to reach targets.
