Probably not. From all the people that’ll be fleeing the US, to gangs using the situation for weapons smuggling and human trafficking.
On top of the already existing misinformation that’ll push people to vote for their own extreme party that’ll lead them in the same direction.
All while the people actually behind it all sit on yatchs or in another country laughing.

Imagine the having a civil war with no war aims lol. The right is just mad for the sake of being mad cause Trump has riled them all up.

Ah you think ICE is your ally? You merely adopted it. I was born in it, molded by it. I didn’t see the grass until I was already a man, by then it was nothing to me but a vacation!

Fuck what a headline. I want to go back to a time where ideas like CANZUK felt cool but a little unnecessary, and not now desperately needed just to reduce US reliance by anything we can get.
There isn’t a developed nation in the western world ready for a US civil war, but terrifyingly that won’t stop one potentially coming.Â

This is a hysterical article. As in its full of hysteria. The United States is not going to have a civil war any time soon.

It’s a little thing, tiny in comparison to the subject matter of the article, but Winnipeg isn’t 5 hours from Minneapolis, it’s 7 1/2 at absolute best.

The Chinese and Russian b0ts are working overtime on social media to try and make this a reality. “Yes, civil war is the only answer comrades”.

Any American willing to fight for their democracy can always count on Canada as an ally.

. Let them kill each other down there. The only thing we need to be ready for is defending our own country. A US civil war part 2 would be good for us… such heavy losses that it would be long before they could turn their gaze north.
TheKage on
This article is insanely alarmist. No there will not be tens of millions of Americans fleeing across the northern border. No there won’t be a full scale civil war with battles that will encroach into Canadian territory.
Any kind of “civil war” in the US will be very localized and will look like civil unrest and fighting within the cities. Shootouts, massacres, bombings stuff like that.

We have like 2 separation referendums coming up. You sure we won’t have our own civil war.

It’ll turn into another Northern Ireland. Most of you probably aren’t old enough to remember that.

Canada isn’t ready for anything war related. If we’re not swallowed up by China we will be swallowed up by the US.

I doubt much will happen given how Trump handled Greenland.

People in Halifax were rioting because the alcohol stores were closed for a day.
American citizens are being executed in the street and the only response so far is “oh gosh someone should do something”
I don’t think there will be a civil war anytime soon, because the American Left wing, especially its leadership has no spine and no balls.
Quill07 on
There won’t be an American Civil War. And if there is one, it’d look much more like the Troubles in the UK or the Italian Years of Lead than Syria. I feel like people in the West don’t understand what it actually takes for a country to have a full blown armed conflict within their borders. What’s happening in the US is terrible but they’re nowhere near that.

Back in high school we learned that the American Civil War was one of the events that spurred confederation (the Americans had things sorted out at home, almost a million men under arms, the British had sort of supported the Confederacy . . . what would the U.S. do next?). So there’s no denying that whatever happens in the U.S. is going to have implications for Canada and our governance.
Unlike the first time this happened, I don’t think a civil war where literal nukes are in silos nearby is the kind of thing anyone in North America can prepare for.
Not to mention most our trade would end over night because we havent diversified away completely yet
Or that unlike the first time, its not state vs state as much as cities vs rural so a civil war in america would be incredibly confusing and messy.
But either way, no. No one would be ready for that so lets pray it doesnt keep developing like this and the midterms restore some balance over there (and that those elections remain secure)

That’s not going to be good.We need regional stability.

Hell yeah we are!

We sure are. Its happening in another country and has nothing to do with us.
Close the borders and dont allow any refugees through. Thats all we need to do.

I don’t think any Republicans will be wanting to immigrated up here. We are, after all, a bunch of commies.
Jeffuk88 on
Theyre not going to have a civil war, trump is already backpedalling everything he says. Money talks way too much for any of his regime to actually go through with anything
AtlanticMaritimer on
There mostly will not be a civil war in the way that we might picture it with citizens fighting against the Trump regime. Generally – nothing really ever happens in the world of politics. Most outcomes revert to status quo or slightly changed. Americans have been talking about this for ages, but most do not want one. Even the protests in Minneapolis with all their traction and activity, don’t feel like the size of the BLM protests.

No, the US is not going to have a civil war.
WingdingsLover on
Whatever is coming represents the best opportunity we’ve ever had to reverse the brain drain. Would have had generational positive effects on the Canadian economy but we’re in no position to take advantage because we instead decided to overload the system with Tim Hortons workers.
JohnDorian0506 on
The American civil war will happen right after Alberta and Quebec will become independent or before?
jonproject on
It won’t happen. Their populace is too complacent and feckless. The most we’ll see down south is George Floyd-level protests.

It already started the 2ed American civil war look at Minnesota it’s in its low intensity stages we saw this during the beginning of the syrian civil war and the beginning stages of the yugoslavia wars of the 80s and 90s

Was watching the Civil War movie during the weekend. Funniest scene in the movie was when it was implied that the Canadian Dollar is worth more than the US Dollar.
TheLaughingWolf on
They are already having their civil war.
It’s just not a traditional one like the US in the 1860s, but instead one of political manipulation, consolidation of power, and growing authoritarianism, such as with Germany when Hitler came to power.

A U.S. President wearing a tan suit…used to be the most outrageous thing they did. Oh to go back to simpler times.
Noctrin on
The biggest problem, not just for us, but for the world, is what will happen to the US currency, markets and companies as a result.
It’s safe to say that an unstable US will crater trust in their market and currency. That alone will create financial fallout that i really dont think most countries are even remotely ready to deal with. The problem with money is that it’s only valuable as long as the person controlling it can be trusted. If your bank suddenly started shooting employees and calling for a new world order, i wager you’d be pulling your money out pretty fast.
The real reason most world leaders and even US politicians are treading very carefully is that this is a very real and very dangerous consequence of what’s going on down there.

But that scene in *Civil War* where [the Canadian dollar was king was kind of neat](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LBc-Cfodv10).
