    Like fuck there’s not going to be anything to stop them. All this “taking Canada” rhetoric is really making me fully understand the situation Ukraine is in. I always thought I’d find some way to dodge a draft, but if it came down to fighting to preserve my country’s sovereignty, I’m taking all you Americans down with me

        I really hope so. The way it’s been treated so far, as if it’s just a funny joke that we might consider (Canada would turn the US blue forever!, etc), even by more left leaning news corps like CNN has really left a sour taste in my mouth.

        In a recent CNN clip, they were talking about how because we just “threw out our PM”, we might actually want to be American. Like, no, we’re a sovereign country, do not joke about invading us you actual fucking nazis, Christ.

            Ah fair enough, that explains it a bit then. It’s incredible that we’ve gotten to the point where the alt right/Republicans are just casually joking about invading countries ALLIES

            Quick edit: I guess it has been a very unifying thing for Canadians though. The whole situation has really brought together the left and the right here against the US (excluding Danielle Smith but she’s insane)
