That doesn’t help in a modern war. If the threat was a bunch of random people with spears and muskets, yes, arming citizens is the play. When the threat is bombs and drones, giving everyone a broomstick will achieve exactly nothing.
Edit: was going to write boomstick, but this one works just as well.
I mean, they do have a chance. I don’t think it will be good, but I don’t envision Canada just rolling over when orange platoons will start bombing them, I expect they will fight back, and even though US is that much more militaristic, Canada isn’t toothless.
The chance isn’t particularly big though.
Furthermore, what happened after Gaddafi gave up on Libya’s nukes?
Tap for spoiler
He was raped in the ass with a bayonet after the US and the rest of NATO helped overthrow his government.
Nukes are clearly a deterrent, and if you comply with disarmament you’re more likely to be backstabbed. Yet, the US won’t mess with those who remain nuclear armed like Israel and North Korea.
Canada would be wise to build nukes ASAP.

You’re not wrong.
Many Canadians own firearms
That is technically true but their options have become extremely limited.
And this is only one of may many ways why Canada is so much better country than whatever the fuck is happening south of them
So what? They can shoot at the supersonic missiles? At the swarma of drones? At the stealth bombers?
The civil war was a long time ago.
For the illusion that they have a chance?

They didn’t have a gun problem to begin with yet recently laid some of the most draconian bans on Earth. Only Australia (now) and Britain are worse.
Oh sure, genius move eh, hmmm…what happened when Iran or Cuba tried to acquire nukes?
What happened when Israel and North Korea tried to build nukes?
