I’m frankly amazed it’s not higher…

    Do you want Marines patrolling our streets? While I agree with the sentiment, there is a non zero chance that this would qualify Canada into the oil for freedom kinetic négociation program. Our best option is to wait for the inevitable usa civil war to come and hope it doesn’t spill too much north.

      No way in hell that happens. Not because of Trump’s geopolitical acumen, mind you, but because it’d start a civil war, split the country in half and turn America into a global pariah state. And either way America does not have what it takes to occupy Canada. See: Afghanistan.

        Why do you think the only two options here are your narrow ideas or nothing at all?

        To be clear: the approach you’ve outlined is incompatible with anti-fascism. Therefore you can’t claim that moral high horse. Your approach is fundamentally flawed in that it’s still dogmatically invested in capitalistic top-down power consolidation.

        Please, dear god. Get off the internet and sign up to help your local mutual aid organizations. We can do so so so much more to combat fascism by reminding each other of our collective strength, compassion, and humanity. That really is the antidote to fascism, and we all need to be working toward that more than anything our federal government can do via tarrifs or trade bans.

            I support decoupling as quickly as possible

            Me too, we just differ on how quickly that can happen without driving average people into the arms of fascists.

            30% of our population would be glad to see it, and 30% is all it took in the US this past election.
