It's fun we live in times where these conversations are happening 😭

Another major factor in the fight is that Canada would be united in its resistance, while the US would be on the verge of civil war.

Two of the top 10 snipers of all time are Canadian aboriginals. The record for the longest distance kill was held by a Canadian special forces operator until a Ukrainian bested it in 2023.

We know a bit about that area of warfighting in Finland too. Check out Tikka and Sako rifles if you're interested in modern hardware for shooting and hunting, they're Finnish brands.

Häyhä's story was impressive, and I liked the fact he survived to enjoy old age. Never understood the reason he was criticized by some after the war. (Watched "Sisu" a few weeks ago, that was entertaining.)

We fought against two of the most powerful countries with million-man mechanized armies for years and eventually threw them out of the territory - then we industrialized by paying war reparations to the Soviets, developed the Nordic welfare society model and joined the European Union in 1995.

And that doesn’t even count all the Americans that would switch over

But Aarne, who would not want to succumb to be part of the great empire? You don't need to even need to be forced to be literate!

Maybe Americans will bring back laundry machines from Canada

thetruemichael.bsky.social•22 days ago

Not forced to be literate, not forced to join unions, not forced to take needles or listen to "experts"

Hell, you can shoot people, sell toxic shit as candy, teach your children that your political adversaries are evil shapeshifters, Total freedom.

We’re gonna need a name. I’m not good at coming up with clever names so I will leave that to someone else. Already looking into registering for a firearms safety course.

And unlike Elon, they all know how to handle a chainsaw.

A lot of us are veterans. And we’ve worked with American soldiers and know they suck.

And the majority of our Insurgency would be fought inside of the United States.

We have a 9,000km unguarded, well-forested border - in other words, we have no border.

We won't be destroying our own infrastructure to fight back, we'll be terrorizing the United States' economy until it breaks.
