@GottaLaff
he is not only on a campaign to scare Canadians he is trying to normalize taking over Canada in the eyes of the US citizens exactly the same strategy as Putin and Ukraine!
Too many Americans know nothing about Canada and will believe him.

@SnowshadowII @GottaLaff Okay, let's say he actually tries to pull this stunt. Would any of the USA's enemies just shrug it off? China? Russia? The UAE and their pals? With all our natural resources?

Never mind the reaction of the rest of the Commonwealth and our other allies.

And never mind the anger that's building here in Canada. Yes there's fear, but there's also anger that's been simmering for a very long time.

Sure, many Americans will buy into it. Insular is what it is. Corporate media will never broadcast the facts, and let's face it, most people don't actually consume the news.

But I think we need to take a big breath. Look at the ongoing distraction tactics, the fantasies of a wannabe dictator, and the house of cards the individual not worth naming is building. His alleged allies hate him and each other, and that's just for starters.

Also worth noting: Underestimating us is a mistake. Never confuse "nice" with "weak."

@StaceyCornelius @SnowshadowII Don't underestimate Trump either. Never confuse blather with could never happen

@GottaLaff @SnowshadowII Not saying it could never happen. Looking at the bigger picture. Fear is the desired result – fear without thinking it all through. I think that's what he counts on.

@StaceyCornelius @GottaLaff

I realy do not think we should in any way be the least bit dismissive of the threat we are under. Fear can be a good motivator, it is the brain's warning system to get up and DO something.
Americans were dismisive of Trump thinking all the guardrails would protect them just as you are now--- look what's going on there.

@SnowshadowII EXACTLY @StaceyCornelius

The Tyee has some thoughts on how a military invasion might actually go down. The #USA seems to forget that it does not have a good track record at invading other nations, and Canada is not some third world door mat.

Such a war would tear the US apart once and for all.

@sleepy62 that's an excellent article. I like the Tyee, they have intelligent and courageous staff.

I think most would simply look at the US military and then at the Canuck military and just laugh and think it'd be over 1 day. But that's not how it would go down.

It only took a dozen al Qaeda operatives to shut the country down. The country still has not fully recovered.

@CodieneC Meet you at the barricades, comrade.

@StaceyCornelius I'm actually a pretty good with a gun or bow plus I have a slingshot :p

@CodieneC Ha! My specialty is renos and power tools, so maybe sabotage?

@StaceyCornelius Power tools be good along with trap building :)

@CodieneC Finally, all those Bugs Bunny & Roadrunner cartoons will pay off!

@StaceyCornelius We didn't spend all those hours watching for nothing!

@CodieneC And who programmed it on the CBC back-to-back with Monty Python??? Those were the days.

@sleepy62 There was one Bugs & Yosemite Sam cartoon where they both inherited a castle. Bugs did the "saw the hole in the floor" gag on Sam... and the animators actually repeated it. He fell for it (pun intended) twice.

I didn't notice that back in the day, but when I saw it on video several years ago I was in awe. So good.

@StaceyCornelius @CodieneC
Bugs Bunny is my hero. Best cartoon ever!
