Not directed at you, OP — but unwanted “annexation” is invasion and we should use the real words even if they frighten us.
- He probably doesn’t know the difference between conquering and annexing. I wish I was kidding but it might be true.
  
  He pals around with Danille Smith, Kevin O'Leary, and folks from lil PP's team. So it's not entirely surprising that someone as stupid as Trump would think that Canadians are on board with this idea. His personal experience validated it.
- I keep saying that he isn't looking to annex, he's looking to conquer.
  
  I always thought "annex" had a negative connotation to begin with.
  
  Exactly. He calls himself a king. He couldn't beat a child in a game of chess, but like Napoleon he will only taste dust and blood in the end.
  They have forgotten as close as they are to us, we are to them.
  Washington's ego has been so inflated by her victories in the Middle East she is just as ignorant and stupid as the Russian leadership was to belive they could simply annex a massive country with minimal force.
  America is creating a nightmare of her own making on both her borders. Only a fool would simultaneously open two fronts at once, alas....
- No, it is not. Invasion is a military incursion. Annexation is not a military incursion. If one sounds less bad than the other, you're reading that in. People aren't minimizing by referring to annexation and invasion as different things.
  
  Annexation can happen peacefully if a country agrees to it. Canada has rejected that, so a non-military annexation is off the table.
  The other scenario when an annexation can occur is after it's occupied by a military. Before that happens there would need to be an invasion.
  Since annexation has been rejected by Canada all talk of annexation now means the same as invasion and occupation, since that's the only scenario an annexation can happen now.
- Nah, it's not the same thing. Donald is talking about diplo-annexing us. Or in less gamy terms, he's talking about a hostile takeover.
- If/when Alberta and Sask vote to defect, that's not an invasion. After losing them, and east/west trade is disrupted, forcing BC to also defect, it's not an invasion. If the US takes greenland, effectively fully encircling Canada and blocking most trade, causing the rest to 'vote' to defect, it's not an invasion.
  It's crappy, and antagonistic/aggressive -- but if they don't move military troops in, and if the "choice" to defect is "voted for" by Canadians who are sick of being embargo'd and isolated etc, then... idk. I think "invasion" isn't right, and annexation seems more accurate.
  
  Fuck that about Alberta and Saskatchewan. First all of Alberta would not leave lots of treaty territory and I imagine they'd want to stick with Canada. Second if the province can separate why can't parts of Alberta separate to Canada.
  
  That's a fantasy and none of that is going to happen. We may as well talk about scenarios where Canada peacefully annexes the US if we're making things up.
  Canada is not going to vote for being part of the US. Canada is not isolated, we're not the country screwing over allies, that's the US doing that. If your scare quotes around "voted for" implies a non-legitimate election, exactly who is going to be running those non-legitimate election in Canada? Are you referring to the sham elections Russia holds in occupied parts of Ukraine? That only happens because it's under military occupation by Russia. For there to be sham elections in Canada, the US would have to invade Canada to make that happen.
  There is no scenario where Canada will be annexed by peaceful means. Canada has rejected all discussion on annexation. Talk of annexation are therefore threats of war now.

Europe stands with Canada. This situation sucks so much. I hope France sends some nukes to extend the so called umbrella.
- Some of Europe does at least. Kinda looks like the UK is ready to kiss the ring for King Trump. It was nice to see some friendly French submarines handing around in the East though

Donald Trump is 100% stupid
- 110% at minimum

"Deny and justify"
The comparisons made between Russia's attack and the plays that trump has been making should worry everyone.

Never. He completely underestimates how much Canadians love being Canadian. I’d eat grass for the rest of my life and live outdoors - before I’d give up being Canadian.
