Is everyone forgetting we have already fought one war on our northern border? Shit happens. What if Canada went nuts and elected some narcissistic tv host that wears a diaper as a leader and they formed a cult by accident and it’s members started shooting people across the border. You would want a contingency plan in place to handle that, ya know?
That was more than 200 years ago - 2/3 of the states didn’t exist yet - and it ended in a mostly pointless stalemate.
Is this the war of 1812 where Canada burned down your first White House? That pointless stalemate?
British troops did that, specifically British troops who had never set foot in British North America, let alone Canada, which didn’t exist. And yes, any war that ends in status que ante bellum is pointless.
Sorta… Wars can be about more than territory, which is all that term refers to.
America achieved all its stated goals for the war, which didn’t include “Actually this is mostly just a war of conquest we hope you’re too busy to defend against.” It just conveniently doesn’t mention a couple had already happened, and it would have been gauche to admit we really just wanted the territory.

They fought it to beat France, they ended up beating France. I think it’s safe to say they won.

Your point being what?
When your neighbors to the north call it “The Geneva Suggestions” tell me you’re not going to have constant contingency plans for the day they stop saying “sorry”. 😁
Could be a crack smoking narcissist instead… or his brother.
We we gonna do WHAT? HAVE WE NEVER HEARD OF THE ATTEMPTED INVASION OF MOSCOW IN WW2?
Hey remember when you tried that last time and your precious Whitehouse got burnt down?
Good luck importing some English Redcoats this time, future states.
They didn’t need to do anything, our politicians started to deepthroat theirs. Look at Definbaker, scrapped the world’s most advanced jet program so the US could give us some Bulmark missiles as defense from Russia and guess what, WE NEVER GOT THEM. 1995 we sold CN Rail to an American. Fast cowards to The Harper regime, he gave the US army promission to be used in Canada if we ask for help, sold of the wheat boards assets to an American for $1 even though it was worth billions. CRA on multiple occasions have let the American company KPMG help the richest Canadians avoid taxes.
We may as well be part of America except going to a hospital won’t bankrupt ya here

I do.
That’s why there’s a BB gun near my front window, for the next time the Lazy Dog Owner strikes
To be fair, this is hardly a plan, it’s just “head north to your nearest Canadian city”
When I drove near the Canadian border there were intersections the just had a sign with an arrow that said Canada.
So just go north and watch for the Canada signs.
What’s the source for this? Is it anything other than CCP propaganda intended to drive a wedge between the US and Canada?
Lmao wut?
You have limitless information at your fingertips and you refuse to do an iota of research before jumping on “China bad”?
Fuck China, but for the love of God… literally attempt googling something next time 🤦♂️
There’s CCP propaganda all over Lemmy, whether you want to see it or not.
The truth is not propogandan just because its inconvenient.
Of course, but having a critical perspective is key to limiting how effect propaganda is.
How exactly is assuming that disagrees with your opinions being propoganda critical? Seems like the opposite.
Might want to practice your English a little bit.
Today all they would have to do is stand at the border and yell “We’ll give you American citizenship and you can trade your $CAD for $USD at par”
I’ll go fetch the white flags
Fuck that noise, I don’t want to be part of that shit hole of a country
