We need nukes and we can build them.

No shit, we're right next door and have way, way more of what they want than Mexico.

Greenland is the foreplay. Canada is the big finish. They'll complain if they don't get to completion.

Yeah well when the Canadian government has a couple hundred billion invested in just one investment alone, it's quite clear that Canada is fucked (isn't the travel boycott like 100b max?). Still Canadians refuse to boycott the S&P500 because there is nowhere else to invest (other than precious metals lol) and citizens refuse to remove their accounts on non-essential American services (Instagram, Facebook, Linkedin, Paypal, etc). Canada can't even get their own local e-commerce platform down, Amazon is mostly foreign goods but it is currently the most dominant way to distribute goods and that will not change anytime soon due to insane commercial real estate pricing. For reference Czechia has quarter the population yet has their own massive ecommerce platform Alza.cz, Amazon isn't even able to compete in that country. Hell, the Canadian government will not stop using D365, Azure, AWS. God damn Canadians are deluded as to what is coming in their future.

We see what's happening, and most of us are in the process of disentanging over a hundred years of having our economy and systems intertwined with the Americans.

Yes, there are still some maple maga idiots who are dreaming of the taste of Trump's boots, but they are a minority. A noisy minority to be sure, but a minority.

Alberta is Canada's Sudetenland, except with digital American propaganda blended in, not radio, posters, or little flyers that are dropped from above. There are many so called "Canadians" who are cheering for the annexation of Alberta online and in real life. Appeasement from the prime minister and citizens in other provinces can be considered traitorous and is causing irreparable damage by providing pretext for invasion (what can you expect from a corpo-fascist crook who has more in common with a BlackRock board member than a Canadian citizen?). If this succeeds make no mistake there will also be Canschluss, this is what they mean when history rhymes. Czechoslovakia lost part of their country and eventually everything, can you imagine what a defense they could have put up since the Germans were hesitant to invade? Thanks to appeasement by the British, the Germans were empowered to destroy significantly more lives.

Tech is America's biggest product, meaning their most valuable. Canadians are unwilling to hit yankees where it hurts them the most. It's time to get shit done, and fast. Not in a couple years, not even in a year or two, this has to be a months, even weeks long process. Real Canadians will begin their support and know how to begin the real movement right away. No problem, sometimes it takes time to find the right direction. It all starts with unheard speech just like this and making it commonly accepted. Let me remind that the first victims of Nazis, were Germans, but that rot spread until it was dealt with the right way.

We really need trained drone operators. It's still something that the Americans neglect as far as I'm aware.

raises hand - even the retired ones are still decent. And prepared.

I'm just a hunter but I've been shooting since I could hold a rifle. We will need people to train us up too. There are many of us willing and also prepared. Im a former medic as well and am fully stocked with field supplies as well as my gun cabinet. It's beyond time for us Canadians to organize.
