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.
And, scarily, there’s a non-zero chance they will have the opportunity to try. Like, we may literally have a civil war on our southern border come November.
Largest undefended border in the world with one of the largest militaries in the world. I don’t know what to think, I’m scared for my family in southern ontario
Southern Ontario? You mean Northern New York right?
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?
It would be far cheaper for the US to just trade us for the water compared to invading. Invasions are expensive.
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.
Don’t be scared? I mean, even if there’s a full on civil war, which isn’t likely, why would it spill into Canada unless your nation picks a side?
What’s more likely is that democrats would do what they always do and back down, cementing our slide into facism while preventing a civil war.
What you should really be worried about is having a violent monarchy forming on your southern border, because you’ve got some socialist tendencies, and conservatives hate that.
