And the political raping continues. They're turning out to be that really bad neighbor no one wants, on steroids.

Oh lovely. More threats of war.
I am confused by this article.
The headline says they want to change the borders, but I didn't see any details in the article about redrawing the border. They say they're interested in doing so, but there aren't any details. They say that Trump wants control of the Keystone XL pipeline, but the details they give simply say that he wants it built. It's like they shoved all the Canada-US relations stuff into one article, but didn't bother editing it or making it coherent.
On another note, Trump himself is confused:
"We protect Canada, but itβs not fair. Itβs not fair that theyβre not paying their way, and if they had to pay their way they couldnβt exist,β he told reporters.
Uh, no, Canada has protected our northern border. If we'd had to protect that on our own, we'd be a much more closed, paranoid and militaristic place. [Isn't that a scary thought!]
Don't stress yourself out too much. It's the Telegraph, whose journalistic standards are on par with the Toronto Sun.
Maybe they plan to redraw it to include some of the states in Canada.
Peter Navarro is a piece of shit
It will be redrawn in canada's favour.
"We protect Canada, but itβs not fair."
The idea that any military attack on Canada is most likely to come from directly across the southern border is not a new one. It's one of the main reasons we need an army at all. Many years ago I mentioned this theory to some people in the military and was slightly surprised that they all took it seriously and said yeah, we do have plans for that possibility of course. I don't know to what extent they were serious about it then or whether they've all gone soft and forgotten about it in the decades that have since passed, but unlikely as we thought it that an invasion would come from the USA it's even more unlikely that it'd come from anywhere else.
We certainly had plans for it when I was an infantry officer in the nineties. I see no reason why those plans would not have been kept current.
Did anyone actually think the plans would be effective or was it more of a plan to go down kicking and screaming?
I was impressed. And I tend to be critical of most plans.
I had heard that there where plans; but I thought they were hypothetical plans drawn up in the early years of Canada, just in case we wanted to burn down the White House again.
Surprise sneak attack from Alaska! It's over Canada we have the high ground.
You'll be crossing a lot of very rough terrain before getting to anywhere useful. It'd be like attacking Russia through Siberia.
I was joking. But seriously do you think they would be in canoes and riding moose?
They? This is a Canadian forum
Yeah they It means "the Americans troops" or they made a this forum "the Canadian lemmy users"

That is literally an act of war if they do that.
MAGAs don't care. They may actually hate us for our freedoms.
MAGAs can go suck a fuck.
The USA has had dreams of this forever.

Not to fear, we also made similar plans. (Should have done it when we had the chance)
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defence_Scheme_No._1
Defence Scheme No. 1 was a war plan created by Canadian Director of Military Operations and Intelligence Lieutenant Colonel James "Buster" Sutherland Brown, for a Canadian pre-emptive attack against the United States in the (hypothetical) case of a conflict between the United States and the British Empire.
Redraw the boarders? Like what they did with golf of Mexico? Because no way Canada will agree on this.
Could you edit your comment to include a homophone in your third sentence? For instance, substitute "no" with "know", or "way" with "weigh"?
I'll delete my comment afterwards. It's just that comedy often comes in threes.
When the war starts in earnest. Most of us are on yalls side.
Start fighting right now.
I wouldn't count on it. Americans want to seem strong but are really just weak babies. Most well just go along well saying I need my guns for government overreach well just allowing it to happen.
I don't believe it's most. If you add those who support Trump to those who are too indifferent to bother to vote against him, the people who will oppose him are in a minority. And even some of that minority is "don't rock the boat" Democrats who will go along with the status quo, even as it lurches to the right. Others are scared and won't do anything to help. Trump's favorability rating bumps along at around 45-52% these days, and Americans have a strong tendency to rally behind the troops and the President even in needless and cruel wars, and they're suckers for propaganda. So I don't believe a majority are on Canada's side in any meaningful way. Americans will fall in line, and Canada has to defend itself against this aggression.
Agh. Paywall.
It's an odd thought that there must be people out there who consider the Telegraph worth paying for. Crazy world.
