    America is no rookie when it comes to threatening & invading countries for their oil, it’s a shame Canada has little means of defence and the liberals are further taking that defence away.

    Conservatives are not much better however, we can no longer rely on the US for national security.

    Elections are coming up folks, pick wisely between the two evils.

      Trudeau’s Liberals increased defense funding from Harper’s Conservative gov’t and Carney’s Liberals just bought a $6bil state-of-the-art early warning radar defense system from Australia. Seems the Libs take defense more seriously than the Cons.

      Anybody who thinks the US will actually invade Canada is delusional. Trump might try but too many States would oppose him, too many military personnel would say no.

        Even 3 months ago I’d agree with you, but if I see how much unthinkable stuff Trump did get done. Who knows he’ll invade Mexico, kidnaps the gangs and then hires them to take control of Canada’s oil fields & pipelines. Or hires Russians to throw Canadian politicians and oil field owners out of windows until Canada surrenders.

        Ah yes, I’m sure once October hits and the liberals start confiscating people’s semi-automatic rifles everyone will feel so safe!

        Fun fact 604 area code is Vancouver.
