dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in /c/slop

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

Smaller population than cali, power plants all within 100km of border, ~4 in 10 love america and desperately want to be them

Yup, it's land invasion time!

You'd think, but you have to remember, even disregarding material (eg. settler-colonialism and resource extraction) and superstructural (eg. shared western identity) basis,

The nation is sandwiched in alliance with Britain, and lives near fucking the U.S.A...

If Canada were to become the new revolutionary North American 'Grenada', both nations would try to soft-coup, if not blaze to the ground the nation

If they can get Australia's Gough Whitlam from a far, who's to say they can't get Canada in the arse?

Ogey, here's a quote:

We waterboard ourselves to sleep so that even our dreams can be attached to reality
