    Oh good. That means we must invade Mexico because so much comes over the border. And of course this means we must attack China to defend ourselves against their WMDs. Canada is the least of our (already not really) fentanyl problem, but of course Trump will seek to justify invasion that way.

    At this point I only wish those rock chewers would just be honest. Just tell everyone you invade Canada “just because” in a war of naked aggression. That’s en vogue anyway.

    Edit: Canadians, take a shovel and start digging trenches along the entire border. 3 trenches deep, with extra circular ones around cities and logistic hubs. Place explosives on all bridges near the border. Change the location of your mobile AA systems, every 3-4 days. All of this can be done without conscription or rationing to increase weapons manufacturing and might be enough to have Canada be considered too difficult to invade without horribly losses. Plus it would be an amazing statement of rejection towards America in general and Trump specifically. Peace time is over, start digging.

      Good luck with China. The US will get obliterated. I hope Trump leaves NATO by then so I won’t get drafted in his braindead wars. Otherwise, I’m moving to Antarctica.

      I think you may be somewhat unfamiliar with just how vast that border is. It’s the longest international border in the world, 8,891 kilometers (5,525 miles) long.

      If the Americans really do invade we’ll be defending via means other than World War I era trenchworks.
