Armed Forces envision insurgency tactics like those used by Afghan mujahedeen, sources say. But officials and experts stress a U.S. operation is unlikely, and the scenarios are conceptual

A few thoughts:
Canada can’t claim to be taking the threat of american invasion seriously while continuing to buy American military hardware
The average Canadian won’t take up arms unless they or their loved ones are targeted first. Plenty of Canadians would roll over like dogs
That being said I do think there is potential for asymmetric warfare shit what with the long border and a potentially hostile population that speaks the same language/is largely culturally similar to Americans. It’s not like Afghanistan/Iraq/Syria/Libya/Vietnam/Korea/pretty much any other American invasion where they have an ocean between them and their target.
I still think that if america does invade (and I’m beginning to lean into that being possible, especially if they go ahead with a Greenland landgrave) it’ll be mostly a “change of management” invasion, though it also depends on how they treat the average Canadian. The easiest way to start an insurgency is to kill people’s family, friends, and neighbours
Not before they blot out the very sun with the sheer force of their apologies.
i have literally no idea why so many people ITT are assuming the United States would not kill people and deeply harm the Canadian quality of life through annexation
They’re white. Generally, the white supremacy empire isn’t killing white people.
not all canadians are white; a proportion of those whites don’t speak english, and on top of that canada is not going to be an equal participant! the status quo of passively reaping from US empire was that. annexation is subjugation
Defence of the homeland bs, afraid of giving up the comfort and spoils of labour-imperialism to naked us-imperialism. The Canadian government already does and did horrendous shit to its indigenous and minorities. The first enemy is still the Canadian political system and the Canadian bourgeoisie.
Oh I assume america would use the same door-kicking family-annihilating strategy they’ve used the world over, I just think white Canadians are so cucked that america taking over the country & killing people wouldn’t spur them to action until it affected them personally.
I agree that indigenous people & other POC would bear the brunt of any American occupation, but them being treated poorly hasn’t been a problem for many white Canadians so far. So many white Canadians are racist AF, if American troops can refrain from shooting/bombing them specifically they’ll be waving the stars and stripes happily
