      The rest of the world might do sanctions but that’s it. The US has nukes, Canada doesn’t.

      But it doesn’t matter. If this happened the US would be committing suicide because it would wreck the economy, create all kinds of internal strife, and we’d have thousands of Canadians sabotaging our infrastructure with no easy way to differentiate them from us. And probably a bunch of Americans joining in with them.

      No doubt it’d stir the republic idea again, I wonder how much power Charles really has when it comes to Australia declaring war.

      Officially he has none, but it does require assent from the Governor General still, realpolitik says he could probably force the GG into an action. It’s been done before (Whitlam’s sacking)
