You cannot “live within the lie” of mutual benefit through integration when integration becomes the source of your subordination.




laughs in equalization payments and election results


Projecting much, Carney?






Canadian goal, in any case, is




"try for a few years, figure out it's much harder than we thought, succeed anyway, but just as soon as we've figured it out drop the project and just let the Empire do it instead".  This is the historical pattern for Canadian development- I think it's an HBD thing given it's been a near-constant over 150 years of the nation's existence.


So no, I don't think Canada (in its current form) has what it takes to have a nation, apart from perhaps a strategic location that made it quite difficult for a pre-industrial US to invade and the differing culture that grew up around that.  The West might, because/but the West is not Canada.




The alternative is to let the US fully dismantle your economy, complete its demoralization campaign, and then absorb your territory.




I don't think the people of Ontario have any other realistic option considering how much of their economy depends on manufacturing for American firms.  They won't be manufacturing anything for China, obviously; they might get away with it for Europe since energy is 1/10th the cost here, but that's more "competes favorably with Germany" than anything else.




Remember, Canadian politics are unique in that the nation has always been a protectorate of the dominant world empire.  When that was Britain, we were a British protectorate; once they were defeated, we became an American protectorate instead.  Our politics are still a mix of the two.




Maybe your country shouldn't exist as a nation if it's non-viable on its own, and you should apply to become a state. Would be more dignified.




laughs in jingoistic Boomer  And to think the US thinks it has problems with this- but in the US, these guys are on the Red side, while everywhere else has them on the Blue side.

Of course, that goes both ways.  They'd need to be further inland; I don't think pulling a reverse Fenian strategy is going to work well for them.




the great lakes and St Lawrence Seaway are exceptions rather than the norm.




Well, that and the massive wasteland that exists between Thunder Bay and Toronto.  Those bridges are just as strategic.

consider the risk of drama to not be worth it




I mean, that's kind of the thing right there, isn't it?


Wirehead's gotten a lot better, as you described (MMO guilds/Discord communities, [both gender's preferred] porn, etc.), and women are more openly hostile to men than they were in the generation that's [hopelessly outmatched when] trying to advise them.


The market clearing price has raised to the point low-quality personnel on either side just can't compete, which is what "6/6/6 or bust" (and the fuzzier/less clear-cut ways men express this) is ultimately an expression of.


Ironically it's the unearned hostility from women that's keeping prices higher than they would otherwise be, which of course is why the rich want them to be raised that way.

land border






Canada




Canada doesn't actually a significant land border with the US; if it did, it'd already be the US (they would have won in 1812).  This is a mistake Canadians make all the time, too.


At least, not the "Canada" part of Canada, by which I mean Eastern Ontario and the Quebec part of Quebec (which is, completely unsurprisingly, not on the US-accessible side of the border).  Sure, there's a small fragment of NB that does, but they'd have to transit a state that's not exactly sympathetic to them; then there's the West, but you're not going to find much sympathy for Blues out there outside of maybe Vancouver so the fact it has lots of land border doesn't really matter.


Yes, the bridges over the completely unfordable bodies of water that separate the two countries are major feats of engineering, but they've only existed for a tiny fraction of Canadian history and in a shooting war would be relatively easily damaged or destroyed.  I don't think Canada would tolerate hosting a faction that would prompt their destruction.
