With the USA trying to get Alberta to separate, and spreading lies about how unfree Canadians are compared with Americans and how many would love to join the USA, while constantly threatening to annex our entire country, attempting to crush it economically, and claiming Canada isn't a real country anyway, it certainly feels like the USA is our Russia. It's certainly our most immediately dangerous enemy right now.

    Yeah you're on a list now... Palantir already scraped your comment and IP address and once the war with Canada starts you will be tracked as you go about your life. Once you even try to act on your comment you and people around you that know about your plans will be hunted down and relatively quickly. What happens after that I do not know.

    This is what the USA is like now. This is the supposed freedom that the constitution guarantees. You're better off defecting to Canada and joining their military, but then be ready to kill your fellow Americans.

    Just me having to make this comment just shows how far gone the USA is. I mourn for what it used to be. Absolute insanity, the past 10 years has been a nightmare for me at least. We are here now, fuck the USA government.

    Canada won't take almost all American that try to go there. Unless you can buy your way in, with what, a 10 million dollar investment in the country is it?

    Not applicable for me, I'm not going anywhere.

    Canada has citizenship by descent from a Canadian citizen and the rules were recently loosened so tons of Americans are applying to prove their descent from a Canadian citizen: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/canadian-citizenship/act-changes/rules-2025.html

    Last I checked, the processing time for all those applications was 33 months because so many people were applying.

    I actually have one. It was a couple of generations back though.

    According to this it seems that it's transitive so it goes back all the way to the 1600's as long as they were a Canadian citizen or (before either 1947 or 1949, depending on province) a British subject living in Canada.

    This rule also applies to you if you were born to someone who became Canadian because of these rule changes.

    I will have to tell any family I have that might want to emigrate at some point thanks for the information I can't believe I didn't know that.

    I am going down with the ship.

    may not help, but check this out, it's some of our programs etc. for people looking to come to Canada. https://ircc.canada.ca/explore-programs/index.asp

    If you do find something that works, just keep in mind that our gov't, like most, can be terribly slow in processing things. Good luck!

    There is a reason why Canada signed a 100 year defense pact with them, and it wasn't Canada being totally selfless.

    Ukraine has given the formula for a much smaller populated country to resist an aggressive neighbor with a massive military and economy and far larger population.

    Drone warfare is the answer and for a fraction of the cost of the US military Canada can leapfrog them in capability and truly secure the country from any invasion.

    Nuclear weapons as well, Canada has no choice but to slowly move forward to gaining these weapons as the ultimate deterrent. Being threatend by the US of a military occupation and annexation is enough to justify this. I never in my life thought I would have even considered any of this.

    Trumps goal was to change the world order, which is a strange goal when his country was alone at the top, now he has weakened America to a point they will no longer be the world's super power. The debt crisis is just beginning and Americans are in for some very tough years ahead.

    Worst president in history and it's not even close, and the crazy part is the amount of people cheering him on while he dismantles the country.

    It's not strange when we have a fucking fascist demented narcissistic president though

    Well why wouldn't he? The USA is playing the exact same game Russia was playing before it invaded Ukraine

    The aberration really was been post-WW2 period where Canada and the US were close allies.

    Most of the history had been mostly friendl-ish neighbors.

    The same can be said, to even an higher degree, about most other NATO countries. Some European countries spent the best part of the last 1000 years in conflict to what are now their closest allies.

    History tells us why we should never go back to the historical normal.
