First, yay Canada for defeating USA in hockey! I'm sure there was more motivation to win because of the tariffs etc.

Second, I believe Trump would invade Canada if he could and if this would improve his approval ratings. But it's hard to imagine the rest of the world standing by to let that happen. I'm thinking of the history books and a section on US annexing Canada - can't see it.

Right now I'm just boycotting US travel and goods. But I'd join the military and fight to my death if needed.

I think the bolded is probably right, but what a depressing state of affairs that we're even having to think about it. As an American, I'm proud of our relationship with Canada. It might be a glib way to say it, but y'all are our buddies. We've got an undefended border, because we're friends. We've fought together as allies. The idea that we're just going to, even non-seriously, start talking about annexing a country that was alongside us at D-Day? I don't even know what to do with that.

Canadian here. I totally agree. Americans have been great friends to Canada. Sad to see what is happening. I lived in the US for 16 years. Americans are kind, generous, lovely people.

We're all taking it seriously.
Shoppers aren't buying American goods, people are suddenly interested in joining the military, and even Quebec is feeling the patriotism.
We all know that if the US were to actually invade, we'd fall within hours. Most people aren't willing to die on day one but we'd wreck havoc as the "51st state", which we all know would be a territory with no rights.

As you should be. If you told me in 2013 that ruzzia would invade Ukraine, annex crimea, attempt to annex the Black Sea provinces, and then 8 years later wage a full scale invasion, I would’ve thought it’s highly unlikely. Look where we are now. And it didn’t start in 2014. It started much earlier with lies on tv, with normalizing to ruzzian audiences that Ukrainians are fascists, that ukraine is part of ruzzia and so on. It seems Trump decided rather than fight Putin, to join him in divvying up the resources. And this is how it starts, by normalizing to US audiences and some in Canada the thought of Canada as a US state. It was totally shocking when it first was verbalized, now the shock effect is subsiding, and in 4-5 years time, you’d find a good mass thinking heck yes, of course they should be part of the US.

Will Canada withstand an invasion?

After 4-5 years of Donald and Elon Incompetence (DEI), and with Canada taking this threat as seriously as it is, I personally think the US would get its ass handed to it. Let Russia’s Ukrainian folly be a lesson.

Ukraine’s survival has been wholly dependent on US military surplus. The only thing that could save Canada in an invasion is if US soldiers fulfill their oath to defend the Constitution against the traitor Trump, or desert when he stops paying them.

Yet they managed to defend itself against the US in 1812/13.

The US didn’t have nuclear weapons then.

The stupid MFer is going to tank our economy with this nonsense.

It is weird to be happy for our own country’s loss, but I am. I am glad that today Trump “press secretary” cannot “joke” about invading a neighboring country!

Was it a "joke" though?

It was not a joke.

It’s amazing that the White House is officially making references to invading neighboring countries without Congress approval. Republicans are silent.
