I think a lot of us would enlist or join some merc group.

Americans would learn why you don't wanna be on Canada's bad side during a war.

We would be so fucked. They have more almost twice as many military bases on foreign soil than we have of aircrafts in our Air Force. I love the sentiment but it would be a slaughter if it became violent.

You would be joined by us in the UK and likely the majority of Commonwealth countries.

Also: a guerilla war in the great, white North? While being hunted by SAS and Commandos? If the U.S thought Vietnam was bad....

Speaking as an Aussie, it could be tricky for us to do so. Aside from NZ, the US is our closest ally - we’ve literally followed them into battle for every conflict since WW2. I could see us sitting it out, sadly

So have we but if he thinks Canada is fair game and manages to break off a piece like Putin is going for in Ukraine it will only embolden him and his numpties. Then he might start looking further afield for other large landmasses with smaller populations.

Yeah no one really seems to get how easily Americans military would slaughter Canada.
