It’s blatant extortion now.

    Well, the two countries that would benefit from Canada’s nonexistence are the USA and Russia. There might be a clue in that as to who is seeding these ideas in Republican circles.

      I honestly don’t think the US would benefit from Canada’s non-existentence. Any sort of actual war would cause far more damage to the US than any sort of possible benefit they may see later.

      Gonna make Afghanistan feel like a trial run when Canadians and sympathetic Americans fight back.

      I would not be surprised at all if the white house gets burned down again if they actually attacked us.

        What are the two most important characteristics in a partnership?

        1. Loyalty 2) Reliability.

        The US is showing that it is neither loyal nor reliable. This is going to hurt American business for generations to come. Even of the Republicans get ousted with the next election, it is very difficult to rebuild a sense of loyalty and reliability.

        The only option is the divest in the US now. Any investment in the US will not be conducive to a stable economy.
