It's very unlikely but since Trump has vocally been calling for annexations and Canada is moving out of the American imperial orbit, is it really possible that a regime change war against Canada is possible?
The US is already funding Albertian separatists and the American bourgesisie want direct ownership over Canadian oil, plus couping carney with somebody else wouldn't be much hard.
Again I would like to support some revolutionary defeatism so i wouldn't mind
Just put the poutine in the bag bro
I just wanna see Doug Ford hang.
Shut up you fucking liberal you need to be liberated by based trvmp
>>2823343>Canada is moving out of the American imperial orbitlook at how your electrical grid and other utilities work. canada is half annexed by the USA already, i think its inevitable america comes in and starts looting the place after they face financial difficulties (like from say AI)
>Canada is moving out of the American imperial orbit
That's highly debatable. Carney has made some noise about this and taken a few real steps. But without Europe on board it's a total non-starter, and their commitment to their own independence has been lackluster to say the least. Frankly we would probably need a nuclear deterrent in order for it to mean anything. I think there is a real segment of our ruling class that would like to accomplish a genuine break with the US, but it's more than just an uphill battle. It would require our government to constantly redirect the natural inclinations of a capitalist economy, which will inevitably be drawn to the US by its proximity and the sheer size of its markets. Carney trying to promote our economic independence while simultaneously doubling down on neoliberalism is a completely incoherent strategy. We would need an economy more like China's in order for it to even be feasible I think.

I would argue against revolutionary defeatism in the event of an actual attempt an annexation. Canada is an imperialist country yes, and it would technically be an inter-imperialist conflict. However Canada is not an imperial power in its own right, but a hanger on of US imperialism. If the US were to fail in an attempt at annexation (e.g. it is repelled by an insurgency), then it won't lead to Canada emerging to snatch US imperial holdings or fill the power vacuum. But it could lead to a serious collapse of US power and prestige, which would have positive consequences for class struggle around the world. If on the other hand the annexation was successful, it would strengthen US imperialism and even further weaken socialism in Canada (and thats a pretty low bar). In other words, there wouldn't be any benefit to a Canadian defeat for workers in Canada, the US, or anywhere else in the world. But a US defeat would open up the possibility of intensified class struggle in the US and across the globe.
>Hey Grok which Canadian province has the most oil reserves
<Alberta has 97% of Canadas oil
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
>>2823749>>2823757I mostly want Russia to annex Alaska.
>>2823757>it is properly imperialist even more so than other accepted imperialist nations like JapanI'm not denying that. But having an imperialist economy isn't the same as being an imperial power. If left to its own devices, Canada would be unable to defend its imperialist position in the world economy. It only enjoys this by virtue of US protection. This is why this would be a radically different conflict in comparison to say, WW1 where there was a competition between roughly equal imperial powers, and where the winners could (and did) swallow up the empire of their defeated enemy. Hence the outcome of that war was irrelevant for the proletariat, and revolutionary defeatism on all sides was the only logical choice. That isn't the case here, where Canada could not supplant the US as an independent empire, let alone a world hegemon, and where the outcome could either ossify or radically weaken the existing imperialist order.
>>2823749>>2823757>muh imperial power>muh opressed nationLarp
>>2823763in ww1 terms Canada is Belgium and America is Germany
>This is why this would be a radically different conflict in comparison to say, WW1 Too early to make that assertion. America attempting to annex canada would make every other global power choose sides, we could very well see European forces on Canadian territory defending against america
>>2823778both common terms. Read Lenin
>>2823787>we could very well see European forces on Canadian territory defending against americaThat seems very unlikely seeing as they don't even appear to have the stomach to defend their own territory in Greenland. But even in that case I would still argue against revolutionary defeatism. A socialist revolution in Canada without one in the US would be pointless. It would be swiftly crushed. America needs to become socialist before Canada can even think of it, and that would be far more likely in the event of an US defeat. This would do a lot more to help socialism in Canada than a Canadian defeat would, since the latter would just mean we're absorbed into a new anti-communist regime and have achieved precisely nothing.
If the US were to invade it would be the job of L
Albertian communists to destroy the oil reserves, after all thats what the Americans want
