Your mistake was forgetting the people of Iraq are brown people.
There is a strong undercurrent of chauvinism among conservative Americans. That America is one of the last bastions of freedom against the degenerate progressive-marxist-globalist movement.
It will still take some twisting of facts and provocation, but probably not as much as you might think.
You're not wrong, i still don't know what a progressive-marxist-globalist movement is, but i guess that doesn't matter as long as people believe it's happening.
They are talking about Jewish people. Anytime they say globalist, it's the jews.
Yes but theyre also insanely, INSANELY racist.
Extermination brown people for sport? Good clean fun.
One young white kid shown bleeding on TV? THE HORROR! THE HORROR!!!
Just check out /r/conservative and you can already see the lines they’re being fed. It’s terrifying honestly
"The Canadians are mutilating children. They're cutting their genitals off, and forcing them to live as the opposite sex. They're brainwashing children into thinking that this is normal, that it's good. A cult of child predators has taken over the government in Ottawa, and they're using their power to mutilate, to brainwash, to destroy children and families. And some of them speak French!"
And that's all it will take to get plenty of soldiers on board. Whether or not the US can hold Canada I don't know. A Canadian friend of mine seems to believe not. But getting violent, hateful, transphobic bigots to sign up? It's that easy. Hell, most of em might not even be service members. Just happy bigoted volunteers, crashing the border and setting off fertilizer bombs attached to department store drones, all for the simple joy of "owning the libs" and "protecting the children"

That certainly won't keep Canada safe. There are lots of brown people in Canada. We are a nation of immigrants. (And most of us like it that way)
I mean, so is the U.S., most people do not support what's going on here.
Prepare to defend your way of life then, if necessary with violent resistance. We in Canada certainly are. I still hear an awful lot of passive voice "do not support" and "wish it were not true" and "don't know what to do" comments from down there. Everyone seems awfully reluctant to admit to themselves how badly fucked up this actually is. I think you guys need to accept how serious this is, organize, and get really, really active. Or not. It's your country. I'll be defending mine though, so maybe I'll see you on the battlefield.
Are your gun laws open enough to raise a militia? Legit question, I have no idea what gun laws look like up there.
In Canada self-defense is not a legitimate reason to obtain firearms, much less paramilitary activity. Of course you can just lie and say its for "recreation" and go to the range every now and then, which you should be doing anyway.
Additionally in recent years most self-loading rifles and all handguns have been made prohibited. You're basically limited to bolt-action hunting rifles, SKS rifles with 5 round magazines, M1 Garands that cost $3000CA, and pump-action shotguns.
Might want to reconsider that. Perhaps a more Swiss approach? I mean, stand on guard for thee makes it sound like Canadians are prepared to hold their ground.
I doubt they will reconsider their gun laws any time soon. In either case, the better way to resist invasion is enlisting in Canada's professional army, not going off on your own to form a shabby militia.
Again, that is why I point to a Swiss approach. However rag tag militias have a strong history of resilience and the ability to drain professional militaries. Just need funding, decent weapons, and a desire to see your ideals win.
We’ve been hijacked by a minority of religious death cults with lots of money. I don’t know when you last went to a non denominational church, but most of them in the countryside are bullhorns for Trump and his policies.
Plus you guys have a lot more First Nations up there for America's favorite historical pastime: genociding indigenous peoples.
