So ive said a lot of shit about America since their dive into insanity. But I’ve ran into relatively normal people that now view America as a pure enemy. Like really calm people that have told Americans to their face that if they step into canada, with the intention of invasion, they will be met with a bullet to the head. And more then a few that legitimately know how to cause mass destruction. I don’t think our neighbors to the south really understand just how fucked they made this relationship. I’m just understanding that my hot head position isn’t too far from the norm.

I forgot to make this interactive, really what I’m saying is have other people ran into this? Where your gut reaction of let’s end them as a country has now bled into the people around you that you wouldn’t think thought like that?

Blowing the faces off foreign invaders is a normal step. If you let them pass, suddenly you don’t have a country.

As an American, I feel pretty confident that for at least this round of 4-year political theater, Trump and is minority voting-base are not going to do any military actions towards Canada, although i expect that yes, our country’s most mentally challenged individuals are now hook-line-and-sinker onboard with thinking of your guys as the enemy and you should in fact blow them up if they think they have entitlement to play army-boi and cross north to do mischief.

What we have going on right now is someone who learned that human beings embrace and live in a state of cognitive dissonance and he learned people actually like it, people enjoy believing one thing while knowing another. This is why we have reality TV, social media and why we all had to argue with our friends for decades that no, the WWE isn’t a real sporting organization, as evident by the fact that they routinely use weapons and necromancy in the ring. The didn’t care then, they don’t care now, they are just the dumbest fucks on Earth and so bored and emotionally unwell that they rather live in this roleplay world where you can just write a new narrative with new enemies for no fucking reason.

Absolutely.
Seemingly “everyone” is into it. Worker at the beer store even pointed out to buddy in front of me that he was buying american.
Buddy immediately switched it up.

Yup, I’ve talked to quite a few normies who are mostly on the gun control side of things who are now considering getting a PAL to go practice at the range so they “know how to handle a weapon in case the need ever arise”.

Suggest shotguns and rifles. Handguns are the thing you use while you get your real gun. Shotguns are for home defense. Rifles are for country defense. Take the firearms safety courses that are offered, and train with the thing. I sincerely hope you never have to use it, but my fellow countrymen are being idiots again. I’ll be down here defending Mexico if it comes to it, but I know that some of us will join in a defence of Canada. Most fucked up civil war in history.

Yes, that’s what PALs get you. For handguns you needed an RPAL, but that is no longer possible. Mostly because the PLC couldn’t be arsed to blame the US for the illegal guns coming across the border.

The safety classes aren’t “offered”, they are mandatory.

Ahh, I see. Unfortunately the safety classes are only offered down here in circusland.

normies […] who are now considering getting a PAL

The repeated threat of invasion creates an exception to the norm. This shouldn’t be hard to understand. People can be for gun control AND want to prepare for duty.

I live in a border city, and everyone here is just waiting for the day that it happens. But we’re not okay with it and everyone I know has been making an effort to buy Canadian and show solidarity for one another. I’ve seen a few signs for our local Conservative MPP who is a nutjob though, likely seniors who don’t know any better. However, at least my formerly Trump-loving boss has finally shut up about how great he is now that his shit is directly affecting her. We now openly shit talk Trump in front of her and she just says nothing.
