I’m Canadian and we have our own issues with far right nutjobs but I’ve heard the phrase “Project 2025” thrown around and the little I’ve seen about it frightens me. I don’t follow the news for the sake my mental health but could someone explain it in depth? What kind of a shit show are we looking at? Unfortunately Canadian politics would probably follow because of the huge cultural influence the US has.

      That’s the thing! So many people live within an hour of the border. Canada has a fifth of the world’s fresh water resources. What happens if the largest dictatorship in the world decides it needs a sippy sip? We’ve got 38 million people, tf would we do?

        If 1812 is any indicator, call the brits to take care of it for you and then take credit for it afterwards because someone nailed an American redneck with a plate of poutine when they tried to cross the border thinking they could totally solo cap Calgary.

        It would be far cheaper for the US to just trade us for the water compared to invading. Invasions are expensive.
