    Saw a reddit thread of Canadians all saying they would die for their awful settler-colonial country, and it's like... why?

    Anyway amending my previous statement that if America went to war i would join the military in order to do some fifth column sabotage - I'm only willing to do that in defense of a non-white country, frankly.

      I wouldn't die to protect the government of canada, but i would fight like hell to avoid strengthening and becoming part of US imperialism. Like Canada is not great, but a US that spans all of north america is a hell of a lot worse.

      Fucking nobody would even have time to die for Canada lmao, all the major population centers, half the vital infrastructure, most of the major military bases, and the capitol are like two hours from the American border

      If the US invaded the war would be over with a total US victory before the news could even start running breaking stories about it

      Makes sense. The only identity Canadians have is "not american". At least America has the whole history of rebelling against the British empire

      If they want to die for their nation, they wouldn't sign NAFTA and relinquished their sovereignty.
