Canada, getting ready to invade, has amassed 90% of its population along its border with the United States. The longest unprotected border in the world.
They have a threatening lead on zamboni technology!

And maple syrup to slow down invaders.
"surrender pronto, or we bomb Toronto"
That only works if said by someone who isn't from the area.
At least there's only 2/3rds of a white house to burn down this time.
Dare you! Triple doggy dare you tbh
I hope we don't burn it down, it's such a pretty building. It's already been damaged enough by the megalomaniac.
I'd be OK if we just turned it into a Spirit Halloween for a season or something.
Eh, it’s really not that cool and ultimately is just a weeb’s (roman style) idea of what a parliament building should look like. A rip-off of a rip-off. That’s not even me being bitter about recent events, I remember not even knowing enough to hate the US and visiting DC in highschool and I just could not care less.
We probably should burn it down with how awful he's made the interior look with all that Temu gold plating and crap.
Burn it down so they can start fresh. You're never gonna get the Trump stank out of there.
burn it to the ground and start fresh with a better system
Dinner first, though.

Europe, Canada, and Latin America against US.
US, Russia and Israel. Rest of the world will also (have to) take sides. Only China will stay neutral until it turns the tides at some point being the big winner of it all (similar to the US in WWII).
I'm gonna give Canada a free pass on any war crimes they commit this time
New war crimes are added every time Canada is tested so yeah we will be fine about those old ones.
Canadians dusting off the old checklist.
Geneva Suggestions.
Remember, it's not a war crime the first time!
"Geneva Conventions" really can interpreted two ways.
That checklist is due for an update.
I'm working on mine. It oddly has more nipple torture than our previous list.

War crimes aren't cool, it doesn't matter how mad we all are.
It's awful that this is so upvoted.
You're going to have a hard time convincing Canadians living in an occupied country, whose main weapon is being able to hide in plain sight and deceive the enemy, or hop over the border and enact retribution on soft targets, that they must fight fair and just allow themselves to be occupied by the stronger aggressor.
Some war crimes like perfidy and indiscriminate killing will definitely happen in such a situation, and understandably so.
Ah yes, indiscriminate killing of civilians, a famously effective policy that's going great for Russia right now. Legitimately valuable tactics tend not to be named atrocities in the first place. Only senseless acts of cruelty that make you the bad guy.
Now, if somebody wants to defend the indefensible a third time, you could say, like, guerillas aren't going to wear uniforms and that's technically a war crime itself. Sure, but it's only coming out in a hypothetical future comment because "use of a marked minefield in a graveyard in contravention of article 7, subsection 1c" wasn't what OP meant, and we all know it. OP meant rape and torture and smashing babies against trees. Maybe just one of the three, or maybe the works.
Yeah, sure, in the event of a US military invasion and occupation, feel free to climb onto the moral high ground and explain to Canadians, who are oppressed and victimized daily by enemy forces, why they should fight back only by the agreed rules laid down by state actors.
I suspect OP meant the kinds of things that Canada was accused of in past wars - like perfidy and murdering POWs - and not, in fact, raping and smashing babies into trees, or whatever the fuck else you've decided to imagine they meant. You know, the things that were historically attributed to Canadian troops, which you might know, if you actually based any of your opinion on actual historical fact.
The trees thing was Cambodia of course. Rape and torture were all kinds of people, including The British Empire (AKA Canada).
I'll let readers decide what what was obviously meant. I'm not sure killing in "creative" ways from further down can be twisted into something more generous at regardless of how much you try.
When people make this comment about Canada and the Geneva Conventions they are referring primarily to Canada's conduct in WW1 and WW2, and in particular their treatment of POWs (i.e. killing POWs). There may also be reference to events like Canadian soldiers switching cans of food thrown to German soldiers with explosives.
Canada has had other incidents, particularly in Somalia with the airborne, who were disbanded.
These are facts that can be discovered with a little research. The other things you mentioned are things that you may wish to associate with Canada, but unfortunately for you Canada's war crimes typically involve treatment of POWs and perfidy, not rape and 'smashing babies against trees'.
And associating Canada to the British Empire is a pretty hamfisted way to try to implicate Canada in the colonial and imperial adventures of the British Empire that spans centuries and predates her.
It's OK.
The regime doesn't recognize international laws.
So, we play Calvin ball.
It's very explicit that you don't have to agree with the rules of war, nor do your opponents, for them to exist and apply. You think the people currently jailed in the Hague were fighting in otherwise-clean wars?
If you rape an American, you're just a rapist.

Oh boy, here I go war criming again.
We are quite good at them. We're historically unstoppable when we get let loose against fascists and will do anything we can think of to be as mean as possible.
As a general rule if you see a headline from the Express you can assume it to be at best tangentially connected to reality.
