"Canadians may have gone in for wokeness in recent years, it is true, but there is the matter of their bloody-minded DNA. It was not that long ago that they harvested baby seals—the ones with the big, sad, adorable brown eyes—with short iron clubs. They love hockey, a sport that would have pleased the emperors and blood-crazed plebeians and patricians of ancient Rome if they could only have figured out how to build an ice rink in the Colosseum." 😅

Regardless of bloody dna or not, as an American, why the fuck would anybody want to invade Canada?

To me, it (yes I'm unfortunately very aware of current American politics and the rise of fascism) sounds the same as "let's invade Mexico" or "let's invade Britain". Like, bruh, if the us formally invades anybody rn, the country will shut down like a toddler that you're trying to make skip naptime. We're on the fucking brink of a civil war, the only things from us that you should be considering is how to integrate cascadia into your country and how to arm us against that ratshit for brains, trump and his billionaire autistic nazi musketeer, musk.

We're on the fucking brink of a civil war

That's the key point: they want to provide a common enemy so it's America vs "whoever" instead of the class war that should be happening.
