Get nukes. Nothing else scares them as much as nukes. It means you need to have em.
lol. That’s just silly. You don’t fight the US with weapons. You bleed their money dry. They come into Canada and you knock out power and infrastructure here that they need to rebuild at great expense if they want to hang around and get anything of value.
Sure it will suck to live here like that but sucks even more and weakens invaders who would also be fighting a battle at home.
Sure it will suck to live here
I dunno about you but I’ll continue to live here in the dark with only my burning spite to keep me warm.
What battle at home?
Look at russia, USA opposition resembles russian opposition more and more every day.
You ruin your own infrastructure -> more of your people will die and they would just shrug. Why do you think they would be investing in your country, that’s just silly.
Unfortunately, yes. The best way to dissuade them from trying is to act as if they will. Still, military spending ranks low on people’s priority list. At least Carney takes it more seriously than his predecessor did.
No amount of realistic military spending by Canada would help this situation.
Sure it will. We have to be a less appealing target than someone else. No one is saying we can go toe to toe with the US.
Best we can hope for is for them to pick a softer target and make a drawn out insurgency inevitable.
Money spent on soldiers, bases, equipment, etc. would be absolutely useless when the US Military simply double tap every single military base in the country in the first 10 minutes. There are only 27 across Canada. Even if we added 100 new bases to spread things out they could easily do the same thing still. We are far too close, and the military capability difference is absurdly ridiculous.
The two possible things I could think of that would realistically make the US think twice, a) handing out guns and training to civilians en masse and b) a PR campaign to the US population (and military) that may lead to a refusal to invade by the troops.
I’m pretty sure A isn’t going to happen.
Canada needs to offer asylum and military jobs to US citizens who want to fight this fascism.
Repeal American anti circumvention laws!!

Trump is exactly stupid enough to think kidnapping Carney would have the same effect as it did on Venuzuela, because he’s too ignorant to know that that’s not how parliamentary democracies work.
That being said, I would hope that there is a kind of dead-man-switch that will automatically trigger to dump all of our US Debt that we own into the market all at once and do some damage to their economy. Not to mention cutting off their power and closing the borders.
