So if that’s the case why aren’t Americans gathering and fighting to get rid of it before an attempt on Canada happens?
I actually don’t know if there’d be a whole lot of resistance from Americans to be honest, I think it’ll be a heap of verbal platitude but not much else.
I hope we don’t see because I don’t count on Americans doing much. I hate to say it but yeah.
If you're talking about mass protests those have been happening. Looks like we're rapidly moving towards a progressive movement across the country too.
If you're talking about more drastic options like a general strike you are absolutely right.
If you expect a violent insurrection that's just plain unrealistic. People generally don't want to die in a war. As long as people can still scrape by, affording a place to live and food to eat, there will not be a rebellion. And don't get me wrong everything is generally unaffordable, but the majority is still keeping just above this point.
No, I’m answering the statement that Americans will fight alongside Canadians if they get invaded, which I don’t think they will. As for a violent insurrection like the one they told us they’d do if it happened because they have a 2nd Amendment for that purpose, no, I always knew its main use was to tell other countries that they were less free. So no I don’t think an insurrection is the answer, though it’s one they often put on other countries. Others that are doing far worse finding food and jobs, but again we have to consider those.
Some of us have been listening to this since 2010. First off they were quite nasty to us about it, then we were expected to understand, now they’re all with us and some want asylum from a vote result. There’s a few passes been handed out and an expectation of understanding that doesn’t get offered by them to others.
I can't get involved until its actually started, there's things involved that I can't explain but I just know
Hahaha righto
