I’m Canadian and we have our own issues with far right nutjobs but I’ve heard the phrase “Project 2025” thrown around and the little I’ve seen about it frightens me. I don’t follow the news for the sake my mental health but could someone explain it in depth? What kind of a shit show are we looking at? Unfortunately Canadian politics would probably follow because of the huge cultural influence the US has.
Largest undefended border in the world with one of the largest militaries in the world. I don’t know what to think, I’m scared for my family in southern ontario
Southern Ontario? You mean Northern New York right?
That’s the thing! So many people live within an hour of the border. Canada has a fifth of the world’s fresh water resources. What happens if the largest dictatorship in the world decides it needs a sippy sip? We’ve got 38 million people, tf would we do?
If 1812 is any indicator, call the brits to take care of it for you and then take credit for it afterwards because someone nailed an American redneck with a plate of poutine when they tried to cross the border thinking they could totally solo cap Calgary.
lol
It would be far cheaper for the US to just trade us for the water compared to invading. Invasions are expensive.
There’s a comic book for that: https://imagecomics.com/comics/series/we-stand-on-guard
Actually, the areas where the millitary are based at will probably be the safest since there’s like a zero percent chance that they will be siding in significant numbers with the likely instigators of this hypothetical civil war.
It’ll less be “the trenches have come across the atlantic” and more “The troubles but instead of centuries of religious differences and legacies of imperial oppression and division, it’s clem and the boys becoming domestic terrorists because they’d rather die than go back to the world where they knew shame.”

the only time US has payed attention to borders is when it involves non-white immigrants …
I strongly doubt a civil war would spill over but if there is massive unrest it’s likely that arms smuggling through ports of entry would sky rocket and we’d see violence from both sides in the area trying to protect and disrupt shipments.
As their neighbor we’d also probably get appeals from both sides for open support and a lot of our border faces really conservative areas in America.
Plus, Alberta exists and I have lived here long enough to know that the idiots here would be itching to use a US civil war as the reason to start one in Canada
