To everyone outside that shithole of a country: for the love of fuck stop visiting the US unless you have a reason. Its clear border security can do whatever the fuck they want with impunity. It isnt worth the risk. Let the country rot and leave them.
It would tear the US apart internally is what I mean.
Imagine having millions of insurgents directly on your border that blend in perfectly with your own people. Now imagine they are angry and willing to cause as much carnage as possible. Think the Troubles on steroids.
Now imagine a population of people who didnt want this war in the first place fearing they may be killed at any moment because Orange man, who they didnt vote for, said to invade your peaceful neighbor.
How will that end? It would rip the US apart. Not on day one, but with time.
So yes, it would destroy Canada. But it would destroy the US too.
A conventional war with the US would be mutually assured destruction at this point, interestingly. I dont think the US could hold together fighting the most unpopular war in history with neighbours whose biggest cities are mere miles from your own.
Are they looking at any nontariff measures?
Convincing antivaxxers is very challenging but that makes sense. They believe, contrary to overwhelming evidence, that vaccines either cause autism, changes your DNA, turns you trans, injects microchips, whatever. How do you argue against someone using logic if the premises are in another universe?
I guess that rules out the US.
We’ll see if they do.
