    I would gladly welcome New England as our 11th Province and Cascadia as our 12th.

    Even better, I would love to see a balkanized USA. The current monster is a sclerotic ossified polity incapable of adapting and changing. They have created such a strong central government that everything is a cosmic battle between 2 megatribes and they all hang from the balls of 3 swing SCOTUS justices, 5 swing state senators and 1 crazy POTUS. That’s an insane concentration of power.

    The US is just too coupled for what it is. An EU-style semi-autonomous decoupling would make everyone that much happier: when Slovenia adopts weird gender rules, Portugal can just shrug and continue. Hungary gets to cosplay Frankoism while Spain sends ships to protect the Gaza Flotilla.

    So, the US could happily break into some sane set of (10-20) self-coherent countries that can freely experiment with their laws, political cultures structures and constitutions. Let’s also get an independent Quebec in there for good measure, and let’s have an EU-like loose confederation with freedom of movement from the Darién Gap to the Arctic Ocean.

    For fuck’s sake.

      State politicians are as much pussies as Canadian ones, so it will take time for everyone to grow a spine, but the US is certain to collapse, and the easiest path to collapse is state run tax strikes and secession. Normally fair secession involves a fair division of assets and liabilities. Fascist department of war invasions of states and cities, and fascist defunding attacks on blue states while propping up red state industries with tariffs at expense of every consumer gives a declaration of war pretense for immediate secession of all cooperation with zionazi/oligarchist regime. The zionazi/oligarchist grip on state politicians allied with national parties makes them pussies, just as the CIA forces all of our politicians to be pussies.

      The dissolution of the US will come as a loophole to cancel all of its debt. One state going on a tax strike or seceding is an extra straw on the camel’s (already trembling) back, and war against that state would be a further straw. Obvious to all that disolving the union and starting over makes much more sense than “peacefully accepting their share of zionazi debt”. Any division or internal war is unsustainable for US.

      Canada and China can greatly help with refederation of US states. It would be good for Canada to welcome US states. Market access to China is good for any new federation. If protecting a domestic auto industry makes sense, then Michigan being part of Canada makes sense. Agriculture sector in Canada has pressured Ottawa to stop being stupid. Most red states are dying due to 0 agriculture sales. US climate terrorism for Skynet is going to make electricity scarce for Americans. Forcing blue states to be extorted by red state energy, and narrow purple state tariff subsidies, requires complete zionazi slave pussies gaslighting their people to tolerate and sustain.

          Are they susceptible to jamming or other electronic fuckery?

          Are there defenses against such?

          How much can they carry and how painful could the payload be?

          Would you rather : magnesium, phosphor, napalm, and water in separate glass jars

          Or

          A great big kaboom?

    He’s not kidding. The whole “no rules of engagement” speech by Hegseth, Canada should be preparing a drone army by now, Ukraine style.

      Abso-fucking-lutely. Ukraine has shown the 20th century military doctrines to be dead and has shown how smaller countries can fuck up bigger ones with drone warfare. Canada needs this and I’m not even a militarist.

      The Canadian government really should be funding courses on combat first aid, self-sufficiency, and other non-combat insurgency courses.

        Is it really shocking that we have spineless milquetoast leadership?

        No party ran a candidate last election that I’d consider a particularly worthy PM.

        Carney is preferable to pee pee poo poo but imo he’s still severely lacking as a PM.

    Give Canadians 96 hours notice, we are closing up shop, come across and get back home, and close the border. You don’t hold open borders against invaders.

    My boycott becomes stronger.

    The great white north has existed for thousands of years. No American president will ever control this land.

    One good thing coming out of this rhetoric is many of us are getting back into full combat fitness.

    President: I know I have said some awful shitty things in the past. Well, I am going to say them again!
