At least Canada is not involved in wars of aggression and is a relatively peaceful nation (in comparison to the US). The point is not where we are now that is of concern, it's when the shit hits the fan, which will inevitably happen. When this happens, first thing out of the window is personal rights.


Canada is an an interesting choice, until you read some history and realize that every fascist state eventually turns its wars of aggression toward its closest neighbors. The odds that America will turn fascist on its own people, act on continuous wars of aggression globally, but never attack Canada - is roughly zero. It's a matter of time, unless the fascist state creep is rolled back and quickly.


This is a message board comment that says that the US is well on its way towards invading Canada.


It's a message board comment that says if you believe the US is on its way to being a fascist state, read a history book sometime on exactly how fascist countries operate.


History teaches us that the US will soon invade Canada, is what you're saying.


I wouldn't expect it in the next decade. However, if you cycle forward the progression of laws and behavior represented by the last 10 to 15 years, then it seems likely that at a minimum the US will begin to intrude on Canadian sovereignty either through direct or indirect coercion.

Fascist countries don't tend to be very tolerant of their friendly neighbors.
