Are people actually worried about this ? Or is it people that have painted everything as the boogeyman ?

The 21st century could have been the century of an environmental revolution mitigating climate change and biodiversity collapse, of reigning in capitalism to redistribute wealth equitably, of ending religious bigotry.
Instead, personality disorders-addled cavemen have seized the largest army in the world, are flinging their own feces at everyone, and will end life on earth as we know it.
And there is very little anyone can do about it beside ramping up our defence budgets and bracing ourselves.

I love that for decades, our military was starved and treated like shit. No new gear, poor oversight and management, and little progress in maintaining our abilities.
The US, for decades, has been asking us to maintain our ability, and we neglected it.
Now like the grasshopper in winter (if anyone remembers that fable) we’re fucked. Building a military in the post ww2 era isn’t something you can throw together in a few months or years. It’s a continual effort that needs to be maintained.
So yes, for those un-informed, we are vulnerable.

Your car is an investment. If you don’t keep up with the maintenance routine, change the oil, breaks, get it serviced. It will get ratty and it’s vehicles, equipment, capability, and numbers won’t be ready to do the job. And it will break down on the side of the road when you need it most.
Had a stroke with my analogy.

Oh we are but the government would rather waste money disarming the peons then actually defending us.

Canada has been a victim of its own good fortune and as such has become complacent. It doesn’t know how to fight for its own prosperity, it just expects it to be there de facto so it can focus on grand virtue signals.
This is a consequence of being a neighbour to the most powerful hegemonic power in the world who has been an ally. Now that there’s friction with that we can’t even decide on simple things like removing internal trade barriers to boost our economy, let alone complex things like building ways to take our natural resources to markets. Even despite this threat looming over us for a year, the government has done nothing revolutionary. No national projects of interest, no radical changes to policy to encourage entrepreneurship or new investment. Just more of the same “throw some money here” and “create another oversight agency there” hoping it somehow does the trick.
We’re not serious about doing what’s necessary to safeguard our future and I worry Canada won’t wake up until it’s far too late.

Yes and if it was on a scale from 1-10 we were at a 5 before Venezuela, we’re at about a 7 or 8 now.
Its been said US wants to control the western hemisphere, they’re laying the groundwork for that by calling out targets verbally, Cuba, Venezuela, Greenland, Mexico, and Canada. I don’t think its a show anymore, I think there is a real agenda. I just hope people are smart enough to act proactively rather than dismiss it and get ambushed by it later down the road.

We may not be next, but we would be nieve to think we are not on his list. Trump has made it clear that he intends to control the hemisphere. That means us.
If the American people don’t remove that fascist despot, we are in danger.

Yes Canada is vulnerable. That said the idea that has been floated about a citizen army training seems dead on. I’m 56. I’m Canadian. US becomes aggressive I am exactly who you want to have some training because a pissed off beaver is not something to be messed with. Mariople x population. Same goes for Greenland. How do you lose a war? Guerrilla warfare. Canadians will smack you then sit by a bonfire a have a beer.

Let the NFLD boys have a go. We know how that will turn out!

How did little, wealthy Finland maintain its independence next to the USSR and Russia? Every Canadian should be thinking about this intently

We are, and the lunatic in the Whitehouse is playing by 1984 rules.
They’re allowing masked gunmen to murder their own citizens in the street, and their president is brazenly lying about it, condemning the victim and praising the murderer, telling the world “Don’t believe the evidence in front of your eyes.”
Venezuela isn’t a wake up call for us, it’s a deafening alarm. Trump could wake up tomorrow and decide that “today is the day” and invade Ottawa; not a word he says can be trusted.
We need to be preparing for what happens next.

When the USA had peaceful presidents, we should have used that time to build our military without threat.

There’s only one thing that kept us safe ever since we decided not the defend ourselves.

Of course we are. Too many of us were stupid enough to rely on the usa and actually believed that they were the good guys

I mean, we already knew we were so that’s a stupid question to ask now at this point.

Yes. I said this during the pedophile nazis first term and was downvoted for saying it. Now here we are facing an invasion. We should have started taking precautions 10 years ago when we first saw the US was on the facist path and potentially could no longer be trusted.
