The iraq war was a rousing success.

I think you underestimate how savagely Canadian resistance would treat invading Americans. Canadians are also incredibly patriotic. Terrorism and brutality would be the best defense in a war that was already unpopular and everyone knows it.

Additionally, they are used to environmental hardships the average American grunt isnt prepared for. The nation is massive and full of inhospitable wilderness to melt into.

It would be a long, brutal, drawn out guerilla war. Yes, the US would steamroll the Canadian military. After that it would be hell for those on the ground.

Its all fantasy anyway because the US has no reason to actually invade Canada. Trump just says it to rile people up and pundits are just licking his asshole when they agree.

Reminds me a bit of Edward Abbey’s Fieldguide to Monkeywrenching.

Albeit aimed at a different target and different reader.

Just an interesting observation Im making using the title of a not so well known text but potentially interesting read for many (academically of course).

For anyone interested, it is freely available online if you want to read it. I would suggest using a VPN or other security program to protect yourself. I suggest this purely because its best practice to use one, lest certain groups take an interest in your reading choices. By this I of course mean cybercriminals.

Same. I thought it would be harder than it is but I can actually get most things made here, often for cheaper prices.

Not to be too pendantic but that would be an export tax, not a tariff.

It does matter.
