Here me out on this:
- Join the war on the US side
- Be really bad at your job, causing tons of friendly fire accidents
- Defect to Canada before they catch you
- Enjoy some well earned pancakes with authentic maple syrup
If you go to Canada right away, there’s no way you’re getting the maple syrup rations as a foreigner.
Only doing this if I get a moose steak with those pancakes.
Moose aren’t like a sacred animal in Canada right?
You’ll have to fight the Mounties for them:
Moose are revered and they are to be respected!! They can stomp your face effortlessly.
I believe Aboriginal cultures have many deep ties with the moose. I think some people hunt and eat them, but it’s not really a thing on a menu where I am (urban west coast), and is moreso a maritime/Newfoundland menu thing.
Regardless, we build many statues to them: (I have only seen one of these in person [top right, Deer Lake Newfoundland].)
Image transcription: Five moose statues from around Canada. Moose are 2m or
86.5-7 feet tall (at the shoulder), so these are some bigass sculptures. One, which was a memorial for a man who died of cancer, is now covered in bras for breast cancer awareness/fundraising.Edit: converting metres to feet is hard to do in my head.
Every so often I see a video of someone trying to mess with a moose, and I can only assume it’s because they are suicidal. Unless you have a gun and decent distance, a moose will fuck your shit up.
Re: statues, we have this beautiful bastard in Cow Bay, NS!
Sometimes a gun and distance isn’t enough, those suckers can move.
converting metres to feet is hard to do in my head
Just multiply by three and then say fuck it. For bigger numbers just add a random amount.
We multiply by pi all the run time, feet to meters is basically the same thing.
Thank you for your future service.
We pay in healthcare and not giving a damn if you smoke up.
Once trump cuts off all government funding from the blue states as he keeps threatening to do, maybe they could join Canada as provinces. It should be win-win considering the blue states contribute more to the federal govt. than they receive from it; while red states receive more than they contribute. So they would make Canada stronger and Trumpistan weaker. Trump wants to expand US lands to impress his idol putin and be like him, but instead he would lose territory.
The only meaningful argument against secession is that individual states would be weaker against invaders.
Except it didn’t work. We were invaded over the internet and lost. What are we protecting ourselves against? Being invaded by a world power that gives its people health care? Losing the democracy we just lost despite never having it to begin with?
The USA is bad for everyone now… Even Americans.
It’s a nice idea, but they should be independent.
California has a larger population (and also GDP, I believe) than Canada.
It makes no sense that Canada would want to more than double its population overnight.
It would be good to have an established federal government. Knowing america, though, we would fuck that up real quick.
you know how people were asking how people in Russia weren’t violently fighting against Putin when he started the ukrane-russia war?
Whoa there your choices are snow, jungle, desert, or Arctic ice if you join the US side. Come on how many wars do you get to choose which server environment to play on? And if we do really good we can get the DLC level European Island Country! They say that one will feature the Navy more prominently.
I already did desert. I think I wanna try jungle this time?
I was thinking snow is a nice change of pace. As a bonus there’s a lot of ice rinks!
And you’ll either get maple syrup, vodka, or smoked salmon. So much winning.
Mmm poutine, served in the helmet of my frenemies.
Weee! Yeah all this climate change going on, I haven’t seen more than half an inch of snow yet. 10 years ago it would be knee to thigh deep by now. I wanna see pretty snow again before I die.
Too late that was 1955-1975.
There’s plenty of jungles left!
But the players want something new! Hence a snow land.
Oh definitely. Give me a side to fight on. I haven’t forgotten you Canada an all the wars we fought side by side together.
Cope for when you’re auto-balanced.

Let’s not joke hear CA doesn’t stand a chance. They’ve no nukes. They lack economic power. And they don’t have a cultural identity beyond “hey we aren’t America”. The last thing Canada wants is to fight a global super power.
The last thing the US wants is to be a pariah to the UK, Australia, NZ and South Africa. Them old commonwealth loyalties run deep. Not to mention France would take extreme exception to Quebec.
Even if we didnt intervene militarily we all love Canada, It would be economic suicide.
South Africa is already against America, they’re in bed with China and Russia, they’re the S of “BRICS”
And the B has a semi socialist leader trying to clean up Bolsonaro’s mess. Definitely not a monolith.
They’ve no nukes.
You’re gonna nuke an upwind state that you’d like to conquer? It’d be a drone fight like Ukraine.
They lack economic power.
they don’t have a cultural identity
Dude, that’s bogus. This is literally the same bullshit Putin says about Ukraine.
Germany, Austria and Switzerland speak German, and are still different countries. US, UK, Canada, NZ and Australia speak English, and are different countries France and Belgium speak French, are different countries. The entire Arabic speaking world is spread across like 20 countries. Russia and Ukraine both speak Russian*, and one tried to merge with the other, violently, and are now bitter enemies probably forever…
Is “Fuck off and leave people alone” an option in peoples brains?
I here you but what if they challenge us to a hockey game? I don’t think we’re prepared for how ugly this can get.
And it’s hockey season, you ever try to get between a Canadian and a good hockey game? They’ll win so fast they don’t have time to get sober!
Canada sucked major ass at the world juniors this year. USA has won back to back.
Sir I assure you this community tolerates only the most serious conversations.
more like global super senile and retarded amirite
