Secede and then we can trade :)
If they secede you will definitely not be trading with either half for a long time.
Better than the current situation honestly. Both being preoccupied is better than Trump’s admirations of Canadian minerals
I honestly think you're soapboxing for clout.
It's good that everyone is weaning themselves off American products, but you're fooling yourself if you really think America having a civil war won't make your life as a Canadian objectively worse.
I'm of the opinion that despite America not learning from fascism's rise to power, most of the rest of the world did, and will back each other up much better than they did 100 years ago. In other words, we're never annexing Canada or your minerals, we're merely making life hell for ourselves (and anyone else who depends on our economy). Imagine the Third Reich except no invasions, just an internal Holocaust. I think that's the worse case scenario. Canada isn't invading to save our minorities, same as nobody invaded Germany to save theirs.
Maybe I’m being a bit dramatic, yeah, but we’re living in really dramatic times.
I mean, a lot of people didn’t expect Trump to tear down the American government within months of getting into power either. With Trump stating that he wants to annex Canada “through economic means” and then immediately attacking us with ridiculous tariffs, it seems like he’s following through on that. I don’t think he’ll hurt us as bad economically as he’s hoping though, so I don’t think him declaring actual war on us out of the picture. It honestly seems like he’s already trying to warm his base up to the idea with us being “a national security threat” and “overrun by cartels”.
Idk, just try to picture the POTUS repeatedly saying he’s going to annex your home for months on end, and then try not to get a little bit on edge.
Edit:
Yeah I admit you’re most definitely right about this. It really wouldn’t be a good time
Not if you get all the nuclear fallout.
I think I’d rather be nuked than be lead by the orange man ngl
I doubt that's true
I don’t know if you understand the pettiness and absolute disdain of the idea of being American that Canadians have. I live in Ottawa so I would be in the city that gets nuked if it came to that
Ok
