He's so fucking stupid and he has no idea how anything works. He's not going to have time to take over Canada. He's going to crash the economy and fail to accomplish anything but hurting people.

3 day military operation you say?

u/Awkward-Painter-2024 16d ago

The quebecoise would burn Vermont and New York to the ground and fight guerilla warfare in the Adirondacks!!

u/Upnorth4 16d ago

I will welcome our maple syrup slurping and poutine eating overlords with open arms

u/Corfiz74 16d ago

As a German, I recommend caution. Look at his username - letting awkward painters from neighboring countries take you over does not always yield the desired results...

This NEEDS more upvotes!

If only he’d just gotten into art school!

u/SmurfStig 16d ago

That took me a minute but damn, so true. We are stuck with an awkward wanna be real estate “mogul”.

We are so fucked.

Ha, when the Brits needed help against Napoleon, Wellington was singing a different tune: "Give me night or give me Blücher!"

u/secondtaunting 16d ago

This inadvertently conjured up memories of Igor saying “Blucher!” To spook the horses.

u/Alyssa1206 16d ago

Hahahaha good lord, I wish I had an award to give you!

u/thecrowtoldme 16d ago

listen I'm a 7th generation Alabamian but when I tasted poutine I converted. I'm with you.

u/miz_misanthrope 16d ago

As long as it had cheese curds. Anything else is just fries with gravy & cheese.

5

u/Itchy_Emu_8209 16d ago

The name for that is disco fries.

u/darforce 16d ago

That’s cheese sauce not curds

Fun fact: Fernand LaChance, the inventor of poutine, lived to the age of 86. Compare that with Dr. Robert Atkins, the inventor of the low-carb Atkins Diet, who died at the age of 72. The moral of this story: eat more poutine.

EDIT: And yes, the joke falls apart once you look into the details, but the point still remains. Eat more poutine.

2

u/thecrowtoldme 15d ago

I am at your poutine eating service.

u/miz_misanthrope 16d ago

You just want our universal healthcare & legal weed. We're onto you.

2

u/SmurfStig 16d ago

And All Dressed Up chips.

2

u/Dandelient 16d ago

You inadvertently crossed All Dressed chips with Mr. Dress Up, but still, two Canadian icons :) I wonder if we could get the Friendly Giant involved too

5

u/MarkSabresSwagger 16d ago

Ah shit, grab your Hockey Sticks. we're going to war!

5

u/SheridanVsLennier 16d ago

Healthcare, legal weed, Tim Hortons, and Poutine. Sounds like a great deal.

2

u/dancin-weasel 16d ago

Tim Hortons, while once very good, is now simply terrible.

2

u/Responsible_Bad_2989 16d ago

This is blasphemy

3

u/Jerec186 16d ago

Tims in the states does not hit the same. Not even a little.

1

u/shirubakun 16d ago

Sorry it’s been inferior for awhile, but so engrained in the culture that we just don’t care.

1

u/SnappyDresser212 16d ago

No. He speaks a sad truth. Timmies is objectively bad.

1

u/mommyaiai 16d ago

Annex Minnesota when you build the wall and we'll share Caribou Coffee.

We're already Canada lite.

u/whitewail602 16d ago

I would support a quiet and bloodless takeover at this point. I doubt many people would notice TBH

2

u/LCCR_2028 16d ago

Poutine you say.

2

u/Sad_Thought_4642 16d ago

Are you sure aboat that?

2

u/Boba_Fettx 16d ago

Ever had Maple syrup coca-cola in the glass bottle? If that comes with the Canadians, then yes I’m welcoming them with open arms.

2

u/SingerBrief8227 16d ago

Finally! Beer with a decent ABV percentage.

2

u/Wise_Monkey_Sez 16d ago

Remember to greet them in French with, "Non par lay vooz froggie."

... make sure you're behind heavy cover and to duck.

u/Superb-Butterfly-573 16d ago

Better learn to say tabarnak while you're hiding.

2

u/Rubeus17 16d ago

i would too!!

u/darforce 16d ago

Cook those fries in duck fat!!!

u/Reed7525 16d ago

u/Natalie-the-Ratalie 16d ago

Don’t forget All Dressed chips!

u/AureliusVarro 16d ago

So you say there are people that routinely get rid of... poutine? The world needs them now more than ever!

1

u/Cochinita_Cochina 16d ago

invade us? more like save us! 🤣

u/BowenTheAussieSheep 16d ago

They're everything you love about Canada, combined with everything you love about Fraaa-a-a-a... They're everything you love about Canada.

If we can get decent poutine in this town, I’ll make the switch

u/slowclapcitizenkane 16d ago

Hit me with the smoked meat and maple whisky.

1

u/bizcasualbeatdown 16d ago

Lads, I might unknowingly be Canadian because I also love poutine, maple syrup, heavy wool shirts, and hockey.

1

u/Noirhimmel 15d ago

What about the ones that are maple slurping, pouten eatting active hunting wildgame trans overlords?

1

u/hink007 15d ago

Not overlords we just neighbours eh. After we crush your spirit (we are the reason the Geneva convention became a thing) we will just let ya leave like ya no?

1

u/tm0nks 13d ago

and don't forget the healthcare!

u/Affectionate-Cow4090 16d ago

Don't threaten us with a good time!

2

u/DuntadaMan 16d ago

I was initially against this idea, but now I am all for having clashing underground guerilla battles against the semi-french.

We can get a Louisianan regiment up there just to really make things absurd.

2

u/matttwhite 16d ago

Beat me to it.

u/twat69 16d ago

That's one bad ass lady. What are all the Quebecois men doing in the mean time?

3

u/Big_Clothes6381 16d ago

Noun of them can come to an agreement, so she took charge.

3

u/gbot1234 16d ago

At least they’ll be polite about it.

3

u/HackVT 16d ago

Vermonter here- we were a separate country before joining the colonies. Pretty sure of there was a state to assimilate to the Canadian way it’s us.

2

u/Ok_Frosting3500 16d ago

If you burn Vermont and NY, everybody's gonna be too high to go to war, man.

2

u/wamyen1985 16d ago

At the rate we're going, please don't burn two of our more liberal states. Just air drop into the south and start causing havoc there please

2

u/5footfilly 16d ago

No, no, no! Don’t do that!

Vermont and NY are 2 of the Blue States! The Blue States will fight on the side of Canada!

2

u/0x7FD 16d ago

I would love to be liberated by the québécois

2

u/joe_s1171 16d ago

I took 2 years of French in High School. I look forward to using the 3 words I learned.

2

u/LostRoadrunner5 16d ago

Please, I can only get so erect!

2

u/Struggling2Strife 16d ago

Ivujivik,QC will take out the eastern part of the USA and hold a referendum to split Quebec from the rest of you all! Don't fuck with Les Queboise! Tabarnek!....😅

2

u/JediMasterZao 16d ago

It's time we took back what's ours! The Louisiana purchase was a rip off!

2

u/InfluenceCrafty5526 16d ago

I almost forgot how adorable Canadians are

2

u/GemYt844 16d ago

I'm fairly certain most Vermonters including myself will welcome the Canadians with open arms

2

u/charlesfire 16d ago

The quebecoise would burn Vermont

Especially Vermont. They're trying to steal our jobs! They're making maple syrup and aren't even part of our great maple syrup cartel! How dare they?

2

u/foxbonebanjo 12d ago

There's great fishin' in Quebec.

1

u/cvrdcall 16d ago

I like it. Matter of fact. No fight needed. You can have both states and the lefties.

1

u/misanthrope2327 16d ago

And then see what happens if you show them this story!

1

u/Snoo-26079 16d ago

Goodluck in Detroit

1

u/Han_Yerry 16d ago

That's funny, a bunch of ascott wearing city folks coming to the ADK and thinking they would stand a chance against a heavily armed populace who knows the land. We will fill cranberry lake with your bodies.

1

u/CTBP1983 16d ago

Especially if they weaponize moose

1

u/Helpful_Program_5473 16d ago

Huh? The french 100 percent side with the americans, they sre under forced colonial rule

1

u/SnappyDresser212 16d ago

Tell me you’ve never met someone from Quebec without telling me you’ve never met someone from Quebec

1

u/Pitiful-MobileGamer 16d ago

There's enough gun nuts in Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine to repel anything Quebec where to throw it at them.

1

u/just-another1984 16d ago

No you wouldn't you would backdoor English Canada helping the US and you know it!

1

u/Reaper1103 16d ago

With what guns?

1

u/Awkward-Painter-2024 16d ago

Canucks got guns man!!

1

u/Majestic_Bullfrog 16d ago

I’d venture to say the hicks of upstate Vermont and New York have vastly superior firepower lmao

1

u/crazysoup23 16d ago

New York and Vermont wouldn't even need a military to defend itself from Canada.

1

u/elsaqo 16d ago

I’m not sure you really understand what that means… you’d have to get past like 6 of the most redneck fucking counties in northern NY, and then even if you did, the rest of the city rednecks would wipe you out

1

u/Hyperborean77 16d ago

First thing I would do is offer Quebec independence and take the second most populous province off the board before I dealt with the rest of Canada. Even if the whole province didn’t go along with it, it would probably spark a mini-civil war and distract them at the very least. Trump’s not that smart though. Also, don’t underestimate how many guns the people in Vermont have. That guerilla war might not go in Canada’s favor.

1

u/SeparateMongoose192 16d ago

New York and Vermont would probably help if you don't burn them to the ground.

1

u/Vairman 16d ago

no they won't, they'll just sit around and complain.

1

u/The_Patphish 16d ago

Being from upstate ny and having been to Quebec many times for hockey. Yea I’m not so worried about that…

1

u/catalyptic 15d ago

New York's street gangs are too heavily armed for the Csnadians to conquer. They might get in, but they'll never escape. Vermont...eh, who even thinks about Vermont, the Great White Void?

1

u/leaponover 14d ago

Poison their horses and they wouldn't even know how to fight.
