      I wouldn’t count on it. Americans want to seem strong but are really just weak babies. Most well just go along well saying I need my guns for government overreach well just allowing it to happen.

      I don’t believe it’s most. If you add those who support Trump to those who are too indifferent to bother to vote against him, the people who will oppose him are in a minority. And even some of that minority is “don’t rock the boat” Democrats who will go along with the status quo, even as it lurches to the right. Others are scared and won’t do anything to help. Trump’s favorability rating bumps along at around 45-52% these days, and Americans have a strong tendency to rally behind the troops and the President even in needless and cruel wars, and they’re suckers for propaganda. So I don’t believe a majority are on Canada’s side in any meaningful way. Americans will fall in line, and Canada has to defend itself against this aggression.
