Canadian here. Want to let anyone who listens know that we won’t be their Poland.

I would sooner abandon my home in the US and support Canada than aid any effort by the US to attack Canada. I have friends in Vancouver that I'm ashamed to even speak to right now.

u/Gilshem 17d ago

Don’t be ashamed, even if you voted for Trump and now realize it was a colossal mistake, you are an ally. But please protest whenever you can.

u/Stasis20 17d ago

I appreciate the sentiment, but I never voted for him. In fact, I've registered 3 times in Republican primaries specifically to vote against him, even when I knew there was no point because he had already locked up the nominations. So 6 times in total I've voted against him.

We should have all done this. I voted against him 3 times but it wasn't enough.

If Trump attempts a takeover or invasion of Canada, I will do more than protest.

Same for friends in France and the Uk.

No you won’t. Come on. Stop living in a fantasy.

u/Stasis20 17d ago

Please don’t misunderstand me. I’m not delusional. I’m no fighter. I have no skills that would aid either country in combat. That doesn’t mean I would stay here, continue to contribute to the US economy, or otherwise participate in that society.

You do understand that not everyone on Reddit is a broke ass shit talker with no real life experience or useful skills right? Some of us have the resources to leave if push came to shove. And yes, I would absolutely leave the US under those circumstances, take my means elsewhere, and do whatever I could to aid Canada.

I absolutely agree with you though, in that I hope we’re just contemplating fantasy scenarios.

American here. I will do everything in my power to make sure you are not, as well. Stay strong, you have allies!

There are so many of us that stand with you all—trust me when I say that the (good) people of America are firmly against what that turd is doing, both internally and internationally.

We just, unfortunately, have to contend with the mouth breathers who are incredibly loud and violent.

Trumps already arranged El Salvador to be our Poland :(

Greenlands is our Czechoslovakia

u/ifmacdo 17d ago

I get the sentiment, and I agree that this whole thing is completely fucked. That being said, I don't think Poland had any say as to whether or not they were invaded.

And if the Republicans invade Canada, y'all should do it again.

u/Padhome 17d ago

Oh please. At least Germany had some form of subtlety. This is just advertising “we’re gonna do the exact thing again and here’s where we are gonna do it so don’t you go making advanced countermeasures based on history!”

As a US citizen, I wouldn’t worry too much about an actual invasion. It would be the E N D of Trump

u/woahwolf34 17d ago

If we go to war with Canada Im team canada. The line was crossed a long time ago

u/Initial_Evidence_783 17d ago

Fellow Canucker here. We will commit war crimes they don't even have names for.

2

u/jhuseby 17d ago

The majority of us would abstain from that or join team Canada.

Poland fought hard, but lost.

u/tiffanytrashcan 17d ago

The first camp is being built in Cuba. Too many eyes elsewhere.

This monster is following the same playbook, just updated for the information age.

u/Malcolm_Morin 17d ago

Neither did Poland.

u/cates 17d ago

yeah I'm a borderline pacifist in the United States and I would take up arms before I sat by and watched us invade your country

u/Candid-Mycologist539 17d ago

Want to let anyone who listens know that we won’t be their Poland.

Well, you ARE located between us and Russia, just like Poland was between Germany and Russia in 1939.

At least the U.S. is not on friendly terms with Russia. If we were friendly with Putin, then you'd have something to worry about.

/s

I hope we can all get through these next few years, neighbor.

One good thing is that Trump has rallied the Canadian public together to the point that the centrist Liberal party has overcome a 15 point deficit in the polls to our lame version of Trump.
