Guys if we tried to annex Canada all there will be is a mountain of the dead and an endless occupation and insurgency, not some magical new bunch of Democrats in the theoretical world where we end up both invading all our neighbors and still having elections.

That’s when US were allies.
Attacking Canada-with US NE relying on CDN electricity-will make Dien Bien Phu look like a party.
I'm old and I will fight if necessary
My relatives did not die in World Wars only to have allies turn against us

It’s not impossible, but it’s another internal hurdle for the US to climb.
It’s debatable that the orders to do so would be considered illegal orders, since the United States government would claim that its actions were not subject to international law for some made up pretext.
The voiced s in “resource” is practically a 100% guarantee that speaker is Canadian for instance.

And...
- We're (generally) better educated
- Americans will have trouble defending against our passive aggressive game ☺️
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields."
We don't laugh.
That the entire population of Canada losing their health care coverage at once.
We really would rather not be invaded, please and thank you.
I think: Not good for those guys.

Why has it taken so long for an American voice to speak the truth?
Trump’s ‘joke’ is actually his desire to be exactly like Putin.
#Do not help him make Canada his Ukraine.
Thank you.
People need to look into how notorious Canadian soldiers were in WWI.
Nobody wants what this country has to offer in retaliation.
We want Trump barred from the country and refused entry for the G7 meetings in Calgary this summer. It’s serious up here. The relationship is irrevocably damaged.

Thomas Jefferson remarked that the capture of Canada was “a mere matter of marching”. He was wrong.
I don’t think Americans get it yet.

He’ll send their right wingers to the Red States and anyone on the left that wants to join them should
Swap out ideological citizens
What we do have is vast areas of hinterland, troops trained to hide in it, and a population of 40m people already rabidly hostile to Trump
Think Northern Ireland in 1972, x25
The U.S. would become a pariah state overnight.
Just doesn't realize it yet.
Everyone is cancelling vacations and not buying US goods.
Just a short step to not allowing US citizens to travel into the EU or Canada.
Which will be pretty bad for the survivors but, on the up side, there won't be too many of those.
Canada would be incorporated as a non-voting territory at best.
Would the only insurgency be in Canada?
We're not afraid... we're pissed.
Now what if those locals sound just like them, look like them, and are highly educated and specialized in a variety of professions that could be useful in a rebellion.
I sleep all night and I fight all day!
I shoot down Yanks, I eat my lunch, I go to the lavot'ry...
Americans have no clue what a low-trust society would look like
jfc there is a reason common wisdom in the military is that the most efficient army would have « British officers, American equipment, and Canadian soldiers »
Nothing much… my ass.
"Canada did war crimes? Technically no, they weren't codified as such back then."
And I believe in nonviolence
An invasion or annexation including after economic decimation would be self-defence
No ocean to keep anyone out, who also can pass for any American. Wouldn't want to be a US military recruitment officer for example. Not so safe a job then.

TL:DR insurgency, endless guerilla warfare, impossible terrain to control, weapons supplied from China/Russia to keep a war going, lots of people die...

It's nationalism on steroids.
They *can't* get it.
And again, a big chunk of Cons voters are not looking to give up on Canada. Polls are showing that.
Also, I give up my country for your vastly inferior one (by just about every metric that matters) over my dead body.
That said, thanks for being one of the sensible ones. #cdnpoli https://macleans.ca/society/canada-51st-state-america/
There are so many ways all of this can fall apart.
We can NEVER trust/depend on the US again.
Americans have no concept what it would be like to truly live in a low-trust society. 40 million people who look and sound like you, but many of whom want you dead
Assuming the joke is that an American tried to masquerade as Canadian, but didn't grasp how we actually pronounce "about".
Oh. Goddammit.
If we got an offer from the likes of Sanders, AOC, Raskin, Jeffries, etc., it would be an offer that actually respected us. And they'd take no for an answer, too.
Seems like a great move to stop paying the military before you ask them to do something many of them would find distasteful.
AND the installation of Pete Hegseth as SecDef.
More likely, plan would be to just squeeze tighter and tighter, financially, until we holler 'uncle' or something.
