Better start hitting the gym. Get in shape in case we get drafted to defend Canada.

We need to stop adopting the same enemies that US manufactures. "Rules based world order" BS must stop immediately, because it has always been warmongering and extortion. When we don't make the enemies of the US our own, then Canada is protecting the US from Russia. Not the other way around. US needs to pay for NORAD services. Whether its through NAFTA obedience/niceness, or risk of collapse that it is already teethering on, from just a single nuclear strike. Any talk of a draft in Canada must be in the context that Canada's only enemy in the world is the US. Not BS of Canadians sent to die in Ukraine to enhance Blackrock's cheap/corrupt privatisations.

We are not supporting Ukraine because of the US. We are supporting them because they are defending against a Russian invasion.

I wouldn't want any of our American friends or our Canadian soldiers to be killed because of that fat fuck.

If anything, effort needs to be made to remove him before this escalates even further. Our true allies will understand, because a war between Canada and the United States would end up as a World War, and nobody wants that.

It would not end as a world war. It would probably pull in the UK, Australia, and New Zealand, and maybe some other countries, because we are part of the commonwealth.

And even then I wouldn't hold my breath.

Canada needs friends who stand up to US. That is not the current US colonies who are also passively cowering in fear of Trump.
