I'm wondering what everyone else thinks is in our future as Canadians?

Do we think Trump is going to be stupid enough to try to invade Canada or redraw border lines?

Will the trade war continue for years or will Trump wuss out like last time?

We we continue to buy US products after they've now screwed us a second time?

I know I'm in the camp that whatever happens, I'm planning on completely excluding the USA from my life as much as possible.

A question from someone who knows nothing about warfare… As a commonwealth country, could we expect support?

[–] Voroxpete@sh.itjust.works 2 points 11 hours ago

We have allies in the Commonwealth, in NATO and in the EU. But it's really an open question if any of them would willingly defy the US to support us. I'd like to hope so.

Unfortunately, any support would be largely meaningless, mostly consisting of sanctions against the US. The reason being, any military support, even just equipment like we're sending to Ukraine, has to cross an ocean to get to us. An ocean that would be controlled by the US navy and air force. There's not a lot anyone can do to counter that.
