I’m Canadian and we have our own issues with far right nutjobs but I’ve heard the phrase “Project 2025” thrown around and the little I’ve seen about it frightens me. I don’t follow the news for the sake my mental health but could someone explain it in depth? What kind of a shit show are we looking at? Unfortunately Canadian politics would probably follow because of the huge cultural influence the US has.

    Largest undefended border in the world with one of the largest militaries in the world. I don’t know what to think, I’m scared for my family in southern ontario

      Actually, the areas where the millitary are based at will probably be the safest since there’s like a zero percent chance that they will be siding in significant numbers with the likely instigators of this hypothetical civil war.

      It’ll less be “the trenches have come across the atlantic” and more “The troubles but instead of centuries of religious differences and legacies of imperial oppression and division, it’s clem and the boys becoming domestic terrorists because they’d rather die than go back to the world where they knew shame.”

        why would it spill into Canada

        the only time US has payed attention to borders is when it involves non-white immigrants …

        I strongly doubt a civil war would spill over but if there is massive unrest it’s likely that arms smuggling through ports of entry would sky rocket and we’d see violence from both sides in the area trying to protect and disrupt shipments.

        As their neighbor we’d also probably get appeals from both sides for open support and a lot of our border faces really conservative areas in America.

          Plus, Alberta exists and I have lived here long enough to know that the idiots here would be itching to use a US civil war as the reason to start one in Canada
