      We really ought to stop exports of anything their military needs, for national security reasons. “National security” is one of Trump’s favorite justifications, so I’m sure he’ll understand.

        That’s how you definitely get invaded. Cover Canada in spikes before you do something like that.

          Oh… so we are already forced to give US everything they want always. Glad to learn this. An alternative to that arrangement would be better relations with other colonies, and US enemies. How much would it cost to get North Korea to give us a nuclear umbrella? Compared to continuing our current colonial status, the latter could appear to be a good deal for US.

          If they invade Canada, they better not grant citizenship. 30 million New Democrats (75% of Canadians), many new senators, and a bunch of electoral collage votes. There would not be another Republican government for at least a generation. Starting in 2026 (mid-terms).

          Just the Canadians already living in the US would have stopped Trump from winning last election.

          All we need to do is remind them of the above and they will never, ever invade. It is perhaps our most powerful shield.

          With the above in mind, stop sending them nickel immediately. Their military will do the negotiating for us.

          The only have the power we give them. Please give them none.
