    this needs to go away and open the handgun market again for legal gun owners. They are not the problem smuggling from the US is. The Liberals have neutered the whole sport shooting community by banning all these sales and imports. No new shooters can join therefore the sports are slowly going to die as shooters stop attending or lose interest in the game because no new blood in entering the sport. In 2018 it was calculated that Shooting sports in Canada was over an $8.5 billion a year for Hunting and Sport Shooting combined. America is not going to invade Canada🤣 If it did it would be over before you even knew it was happening. While our Military is well trained we are under funded, under staffed and under equipped.

      A conventional war between Canada and the US will be over in days, if not hours. I’m not sure America could win an unconventional (guerilla) war with Canada.

        First off We are Allies, this is FOOLISH Second the only way the US will take Canada is ECONOMICALLY Because the LIBERALS have RUINED CANADA and BANKRUPT CANADA
        I am a retired Veteran and just thinking about this is Awful

        What is going to happen in Canada when a Democrat President gets voted in the States, whenever that happens? All this damage that Carney has caused is going to have huge ramifications in Canada.

          Wars can be fought on multiple fronts in different ways. We are currently in a trade war with America, started by them, as well as having them threaten and dismiss our sovereignty. This is not the act of an ally. Much like how relations with Germany are currently good, we can considering repairing the relationship with America when theis war and these acts of aggression are over.

          I literally have family across America from north to south and east to west. That is no reason to put up with the hostility their nation is showing ours.

            Big war tactician are you, have lots of time in the trenches? I am well aware of our trade situation and I wouldn’t call it a war by any means. That’s just the legacy media fear mongering the sheep Bhhhaaaa The Actions of our PM of not communicating with the President and by flying all over the world and delivering huge Nothing Burgers back to Canada. He had made 1 US trip and very little attempts to make any real deals with Trump himself.

              What’s the point of negotiating with Trump? We had a trade deal negotiated with him that went into effect 5 years ago. Now he’s doing all the shit we’ve seen for this whole year. 5 years is yesterday in political and economic terms. Also, you are wrong. He visited in May and October, so 2 visits in 7 months. And people all over the world have tried to make deals with Trump. Almost none of them have worked out at all, let alone well.

              As for an actual war, with armies meeting in the field? I don’t need to be a tactician to see that trying to go toe to toe with the country that spends more than the next 9 largest militaries in the world, which does not include Canada, is a fools errand. I also don’t think our military leaders are fools. I’d be completely unsurprised to learn that they have a plan for guerilla warfare should America try to invade. In spite of their military spending, they haven’t been successful against those since Vietnam, and we are uniquely positioned to bring a guerilla war into their territory.
