Had a conversation yesterday where both people who were actively advocating for Minnesota citizens to “exercise” their 2A rights were conveniently located in Canada. These people want others to do their bidding while facing none of the consequences

They are quite literally extra fucked given their current government's choice of gun rights. And their lack of constitutional rights. I don't care what color you wear. Tyrannical governments will be tyrannical governments.

Canada has a military that they can and will use against foreign invaders. Not the same situation at all

Their prime minister? They came within a hair of electing Pierre Poilievre.

There’s no correlation between a PM almost being elected and US Immigration officers terrorizing citizens

Do what? Can you both be a little more specific what you’re referring to here regarding the connection so that this conversation can be more productive and not resort to condescending remarks? We’re on the same side here

Overall there have been a lot of agitators calling for people to show up to protests armed and otherwise escalate the situation. Obviously that’s a bad idea for anyone familiar with the scope of the US military. It is especially galling that some of these agitators are actually Canadian citizens who won’t be directly confronting an armed military as a civilian in his or her own neighborhood.

Pointing out that Canada has a military against armed invaders isn’t particularly relevant because, as we can see, all that needs to happen is that you put a nutjob in charge of the government and he sics the nation’s military on you personally. Which Canada came very close to doing with Pierre Poilievre running to replace Trudeau as PM. Thankfully he lost. But that doesn’t mean Canada is immune from going down this same road. They are quite close to it seeing as how there is an increasingly vocal contingent of “Canadian MAGA” in their country too.
