Yep. Expect any invasion to be in Alberta. I honestly believe this Canada shit is just ePiC TrOLLiNg by the adolescents in charge of the US government to piss off Canadians and American progressives. I hope I’m not wrong, but I do find comfort in the fact that Canada isn’t a brown/poor people country. We seem to prefer attacking those instead. I don’t know about Greenland, though. I don’t think any of us understand that shit.

Why do you guys blame your own right wing politicians on the US? You voted them in, right?

The fuck does that have to do with an emigrant that hasn’t lived here in 10 years?

Please forgive my hard edged tone, it was too much and I own it. Let’s put politics aside. I know we’re talking about a hypothetical, but regardless, what you’re saying sounds like despair. Please don’t make a permanent decision based on the unknown right now, and reach out to someone if you need to talk.

I get why it feels like “nothing would ever be normal again.” That fear makes sense. But you seem to be saying there are no options, and I don’t think that’s true. People do survive huge disruptions and later rebuild a life that’s meaningful again; sometimes they stay, sometimes they relocate.

You don’t need to be alone with your thoughts on this, and if you feel that way please reach out to someone or call 988 if you just feel like you need to talk.

Because frankly the ideology of our current crop of right wing loons is a carbon copy of the US, and the US funds our right wing think tanks and NGOs.

In short they use the same tactics of dishonesty, fear and scapegoating to manipulate the public and create the same division and mistrust of government. We can see where it leads.

By the way we didn’t vote the right wing into power, we dodged a bullet.

I’m in this photo and I don’t like it

There was, we call it Pinkerton, among others. At least now you can organize out in the open.

No, you can’t. The US is so anti-union that there is a real risk of you getting reported to your boss for mentioning unionizing to your coworkers. They can’t openly fire you for trying to unionize, but most of the US is “at will employment,” which means that they can fire you at any time and don’t need to say why.

This is a real sign

Hey there. I dunno if this is the best place to ask, or post, but I have to start somewhere. First, I feel that I can no longer use Reddit. It’s a Seppo (that’s Aussie rhyming slang, in case you don’t know, that I just find particularly suitable to refer to the asshats who live south of us: “septic tank”) site. I am getting on in years – almost 62 – so I probably am not going to become a guerrilla fighter out on the field, but I am looking for people who may be starting to form groups to fight against any possible invasion. I could provide a safe house (safe suite, more like), store ingredients, or materiel, what have you. It may sound, odd, what I am asking about, but the US is now a failed state run by an immoral, bent group of fascists (led by Stephen Miller: Trump is merely a puppet, simply too stupid and demented to formulate any ideas on his own). The citizens of the former US are too weak and dim, as a populace, to realise that, but that is what it is.

On another note, anyone who supports the cons and Skippy is a traitor and cannot be trusted. I am in Edmonton, by the way, so any rebel groups forming in this region would be what I am looking for, at the moment. I am planning to leave, in the next 18 months, as the Quislings who reside in Alberta are too numerous to deal with. Any true Canadian should really be thinking about and preparing for the worst. Remember history: people started fleeing Austria when Hitler came into power next door. Not sure I have that finances to do that, so best to get ready for invasion.

Oh, as an aside, but a relevant one, yes, I do reside in Alberta, but I have lived in two other countries, have become a naturalised Dutchmen (I have dual citizenship), have travelled the world, and, politically, would describe myself as an anarcho-communist. So, not all of the people who have the misfortune of currently residing in this dubious province are cons.

They also have a history of not giving a fuck and finding excuses to get things done even if it’s bending the rules. When European countries were paying tribute to the Barbary pirates, the US didn’t have a declaration of war but they sent naval boats over essentially with the instructions “don’t start it”. They didn’t start it, and it wasn’t over super quickly, but they did finish it.

This would be exactly how Canada becomes the 51st state.

I am not planning to do anything unless they actually invade. Even then I’ll just hope the first wave of bombings get me. I watched The Walking Dead for years and I’m not interested in being part of a post-apocalyptic dystopia. The things I value most are comfort, safety, and security, and the US stands to take those things away from me. And to think just a few years ago I wanted to move to Los Angeles.

I’m not fucking attacking anyone, don’t you read? I’m a teacher and they raid schools now. We have active shooter and kidnapper protocols at schools. I’m just preparing to go to work you fucking psycho!

Elections in USA are fake dude, we don’t have primaries or anything anymore.

That’s probably the biggest misunderstanding I had on Internet, ever!

Fuck off Russian shit.

See? This is what I was talking about. They are attacking the kids and some of us actually do our jobs trying to defend them.

No school for MPS rest of the week; Apparent ICE presence at Roosevelt High School causes chaotic scene

Minneapolis Public Schools said that out of an abundance of caution, there will be no school on Thursday or Friday due to safety concerns related to the woman who was fatally shot by an ICE agent.
