I think it is a little easier now, but I know NWA was listed as a terror group in the US for the song. Which likely fell under what you cited.

But at the end of the day what I have seen from the North looking in is every right has and will be violated if the ruling party doesn’t like you. So whatever it means in theory usually gets slapped with practice. haha

If we are going to use subjective experience over what is known about the general Iranian populations feelings regarding the US.:

I dated a first generation Iranian Woman for just over a year, met 100+ members of her family at a family reunion, and not one of them had anything nice to say about the US. In fact, they actively started conversations about how bad the US is, and the damage the US caused in their home country.

My Iranian boss, and his family, also do not like the US.

My current partners Iranian boss also does not like the US.

All of which cite what the US did to them, not for them.

I would prefer development of anti drone technologies using small current electric fields instead of clogging up Air space on the battlefield. Also bird shot is great for taking down drones.

I am thoroughly impressed by the progress that is being made by PM Carney across the world right now, and I would highly recommend keeping tabs on it all. Which is easy to do because he is constantly updating the press.

I posted a Q&A video as well that outlines a lot more than this article if you are interested.

The most shocking part of this is that any Iranian was trusting the US in any capacity. If I remember correctly, the old US embassy is now a museum of all that the US did while in Iran, and a reminder to never trust them again because none of those things were good.

Again, they can clean their own backyard. We have our own problems which you have cited regarding sympathetic Canadian assets.

If you want to say it is not 1812 and we don’t have British Empire support, you cannot ignore the fact that we have far more in way of support from other countries than we did back then.

In regards to sanctions, those have been in place long before Trump and he isn’t waiting around and taking it slow. He is openly threatening Sovereign nations, and Territories, with military force including NATO allies. He is not going to wait to break economies for 20 years. The real threat is force, and ignoring it to talk Economics is a waste of time.

I am sure you have done all of that, and must have more knowledge than myself referencing simulations, and war games, on the exact situation of an enemy force invading Canadian soil. Apologies for my ignorance! I am sure Joe Shmoe will be Jason Bourne when the time comes!

Apologies for the misunderstanding! Your comment read a little combative to me, and that was my bad.

Yes, in Canada we have Freedom of expression limited by law which includes speech, art, and any other way one can think to express themselves. Generally speaking the only laws that limit Freedom of Expression are Hate laws, with an unfortunate exception for Religions which will hopefully stop in the future.

It is far more permissive than Free speech. If I am understanding your Constitution correctly I am allowed to say “Fuck the Police” in public, but if I say it on an album or put it on a sign it becomes covered by propaganda laws and most recently anti terrorism laws.

Is that correct? Or can you explain it better to me because I try to keep out of US Civics when they don’t impact me.

I understand what you are saying and what I am saying is Militia members should not even be entering the cities and risking their lives when keeping a line in the wilderness is more effective use of Human assets.

I believe one may be watching a few too many films if one thinks a lightly armed and trained militia member can be a “Ghost” in an enemy occupied urban environment.

The tone, the lack of realism based on facts considering how the US has been taking action (RE: Venezuela, Greenland, Iran), and the wall of text not easily read by anyone.

I especially disagree with working with anyone from the US to clean up their own backyard when we have our own problems, especially considering the US has never actually been our ally. This President is just openly talking about what has always been US intention. If you don’t believe me look what Biden did with the Tariffs imposed in the first Trump Presidency.

Hint: They weren’t dropped, and most were increased. (An example is softwood lumber which if memory serves went up 10% under the “Good guys”)

The US just likes to use us for resources, and troops to support their imperialism. The only reason we aren’t a smattering of states is because every time they Fuck around they find out, and it looks like we are fast approaching the find out phase once again.

Great news here! Here is hoping we see some real progress on this one where everyone finally has their basic needs met!

EDIT:

Misunderstanding on my part. Leaving up so everyone can see the egg.

Freedom of expression is limited by law?

Yes. Most Canadians understand this.

I am not sure who you are arguing with but you should probably read the thread before jumping into the pool bud.

I hear you, I disagree with you, and I am thankful PM Carney has been jet setting around the world shoring up other alliances and trading partnerships since day one knowing Plan A with the US was never going to work.

We still have plenty of legal firearms to choose from and maybe we can donate the ones designed for warfare to the people actually trained in warfare. ;)

It should read “…poses no threat to anyone who isn’t contemplating the FA behind FO”.

That Eagle doesn’t know it yet, but even if it is lucky enough to win it is going to have to deal with the Gander. haha

I cannot agree with this enough. It will likely come to that if things heat up more than they already are. But we know how slow the Feds can be, and it is best to take a reimbursement later over waiting for the program to kick off. haha

In Canada resistance fighters won’t need the kind of Urban mobility you are referencing.

Against a US invasion they are going to take our major cities very quickly, and there is nothing we can do about it. This is because all of our major cities are on the borders. The rest of the country is wilderness, that our hunters know like the back of their hands and makes incredibly hard to move large military forces around.

What we need is our military taking care of Urban combat, and leave the rest to Canadian civilian Militias. Urban Combat is hell and civilian militias will just lose to well trained soldiers every day of the week.

There are numerous ways to take out drones, hide heat signatures, and move in the dark against night vision. We will also have those tools, and frankly, drones don’t do well in the winter so their effectiveness is season dependent.

As far as weaponry, any Long gun and Shotgun a person is comfortable using is good enough. Any Long gun with scope for range, Shotgun for up close (Buck shot) and Drones (Bird shot) is light enough for most people to carry comfortably, easy to use, and still effective in modern warfare.

No I mean Free Speech. We do not have that in Canada. We have Freedom of Expression which is limited by law.

But yes, we both agree regardless of how we are saying it they should be shipped south.
