Well this is absolutely frightening in so much that Trump is going to force his way into Canada via military operations by claiming fentanyl as a weapon of mass destruction.

Anyone remember the Bush Administration and WMDs they said were there but never were?

Elbows up Canuck’s. The time to prepare is most likely closer than we think.

    It makes sense, more proximity to a weapon is more potentially deadly encounters. An intruder very rarely enters your house, but you pass the gun safe in your closet every day.

      Yeah, but those statistics weren’t taken in a country that is being invaded or going through a civil war

        True, and I’d agree on the civil war point.

        If you’re prepping for an invasion your best bet would be supporting wartime mobilizations instead of personal defense. Bootstrapping a total war economy is no joke.

        Your government can probably handle the logistics of recruiting/arming/training people better than local defense cells. However, even if you’re not enlisted they’ll still need people to work the factories, drive the trucks, sell war bonds, etc…

        Wait who’s worried about a Canadian civil war?

          Nobody. Canadians are worried about a good old fascist… I mean fashioned war war.

          I don’t think anybody is. A second civil war in America, seems imminent if they don’t invade Canada first
