    To be clear, to be a true analog the province needs to be an ethnic minority which is being targeted by the national government.

    Say Alberta was the only majority English speaking province, and Ottawa started putting up statues of a Quebecois terrorist leader from 80 years ago who lead the massacre of 100k English speakers and allied with Hitler during WW2, then they announced that English would be banned from all government facilities including primary schools, and when Alberta tried to secede they sent Nazi paramilitary death squads to harass them and started bombing them daily.

    At that point, if the US interceded and went past the Albertan border to attack other military targets in Canada, you would consider that a war of aggression by America against Canada and not them defending their ally, Alberta?

      If America's massacring civilians in Ottawa and Toronto? Yes, of course I would. Any sane person would. Stay in Alberta.

      You people call yourselves anti-war? I think you're the real liberals here.

        What number of civilians have to die before your defensive war is an unacceptable war of aggression now?

        Did the Allied counter offensive against the Nazis come in below that number? How about the Union during the US civil war?
