Ah, no, the indians have AK-47's and AR15's, they've also got heavier weapons like .50 sniper rifles and the like, there is no effective gun control on native land, they are armed to the teeth, they just buy guns in America, and America has it all. In terms of waging Genocidal Aggressive War against the First Nations, as they are subjects of the Crown as much as any other Canadian sub jurisduction, they enjoy the protection of the Crown, and as such I would join the indians and fight on their side, as I am bound to, by solemn oath to my Commander-in-Chief, HM QE II

That would likely result in charges of Crimes Against Humanity for waging Genocidal Aggressive War, to be tried by international military tribunal, and the Canadian judiciary would be bound to issue warrants from the bench to arrest and detain all involved in the incitement of such a war, pending extradition to the Hague

Pretty sure it would blowback into a widespread native apprehended insurrection against the Crown nationwide imperiling Confederation itself, because Canada doesn't have the troops to deal with that and is crippled in terms of mobilization, by government corruption and associated incompetence imposed shambolic military dysfunction. /shrugs

The Mohawks are actually a Military Hegenomy under a Matriarchy, so the women are ones in charge, but they are none the less warriors too, they do shoot move and communicate as necessary, to include close quarters combat, they will fight you and they know how to fight too. In terms of the elderly, they're tough too, and the kids will fight as well. It's a warrior culture, and everybody there in is a warfighter as necessary. Never mind if you try to crush them, things are going to kick off with the natives are we will a full on insurgency on our hands from coast to coast, how bad it would be based on how hard we hit the Mohawks.

The final straw for Chretien was when the operation was in the mounting process, secret level classification, and the duty center got a phone call from the Mohawks saying "yeah, we know you're coming, come on down, we're ready for you", which of course indicated they were infiltrated into our lines of communication and so the operation was compromised before it even rolled out the gates.

We trained for this back in the 90's when Chretien was considering going in to disrupt the Mohawk untaxed tobacco conglomerate, we war gamed it six ways from Sunday, never came out well for Canada, so Chretien cancelled the operation and decided to lower tobacco taxes instead to try to compete with the Mohawks.

Would require CANSOFCOM, and would involve significant attrition, as the Mohawks are entrenched and dug in on the Res, it's actually a de facto battle position, and they dominate the approaches to as well.

The only law which can imposed on the Mohawks by force, is the law of armed conflict, but the Mohawks are a match for CANSOFCOM, the police can't handle the Mohawks, the Mohawks could and would run circles around civilians, to include peace officers.

Which is what the Mohawks just pointed out to Gerry Butts up in Ottawa. As bear in mind, the Canadian economy cannot afford for this vital strategic line of communication to even be slowed never mind ground to a halt, ground to a halt degenerates into a national economic crisis quite rapidly.

I find the hereditary chiefs other than the war chiefs of the Mohawks to be tangential, since it is the Mohawk paramilitary wing which is holding a asymmetrical veto over our vital Windsor to Quebec strategic line of communication, as, even if some other hereditary chiefs submit to Canada's terms, the veto is not lifted until the Mohawks say it is lifted.

Military operational analysis; Fifth Generation Asymmetrical Warfare; hyper powered individuals/small groups leveraging fundamental weak points to achieve strategic effects against vastly larger opponents.

Historical perspective; of all the First Nations of North America, two stand out as the most militant and fierce, to the South in the Black Hills, the Lakota, and along the banks of the Saint Lawrence, the Mohawks. They were militarized Hegemons in their day, and they remain so to this day. To wit, not all Indians are created equal, it is not a monolith, they have their leading military powers too.

I would at this juncture merely take it as strategic warning by the Mohawk Paramilitary Hegemon, drawing attention to the asymmetric paramilitary hegemonic nature of their role as Canada's primary indigenous adversary, in that, if Canada thinks it can pick on the docile non-paramilitary Indians with the RCMP, while the paramilitary hegemonic indians sit idle, that is not the case, and what you do in one area of the country, will always in the end come back to the vital Windsor to Quebec strategic line of communication, which they can for all intents and purposes grind to a halt if they need to.

That is a problem, but the problem I would submit is related to the onset of Information Age revolution supplanting the Industrial Age, which was the source of widespread industrial and institutional employment within the Western North Atlantic Security Zone of the American Hegemonic order, and so is not a problem which Canada can address, as it is market forces in action, on a global epoch scale.

Canada, technically, was never intended by its founders to be anything more than a formalized military and trade alliance. So never actually was a nation per se, but rather an assembly of nations, originally modeled on the Iroquois First Nations Confederacy

So, just FYI, as soon as the RCMP got permission from the band council in BC to step on to native land, the Iroquois Six Nations Confederacy, led by their Hegemon, the Mohawks, have invoked that band council has simply been leveraged by intimidation into doing this, and so it is an illegitimate transgression unto all First Nations by its nature, and they have launched an asymmetrical operation in retaliation in kind, by transgressing on the Windsor to Quebec corridor, by rolling vehicular blockade, in progress right now, see; CBC News.

As there is little prospect of achieving significantly less taxation within the status quo structure of Canadian Confederation wherein the Liberal Party of Canada is able to asymmetrically rule as a quasi-benign effective dictatorship, which is rather propped up by the fundamentally Marxist academic and media Eastern Elites, the next best option is simply to feed the Liberals rope and encourage them to increase taxes until such time at market forces incite a tax revolt against them, and by way establish an entrenched populist anti-tax movement imperiling their dictatorship and associated failed state zombie Confederation.

Not to mention that Oceanic New American Supra-States is plausibly a better route to space, by the following means. First master undersea habitation for the purposes of long term infrastructure mass construction. By these means establish tethered artificial Island based sovereign political entities. Build in both directions, the base to the sea floor to support a space elevator. Resulting in Oceanic New American States which serve as high efficiency space ports, sovereign and independent from both other states, and the earth as well.

But we can see far enough to know that there is no body is space which in conducive to self sustaining human habitation with any comparable quality of life, within realistic transit times by anything less than high subliminal velocity by constant acceleration, which while theoretically possible is at this juncture "magic" at foreseeable horizon technological development. Whereas undersea infrastructure would allow us to create new sovereign states in intentional waters without having to go war to seize territory ashore, starting those from scratch without the baggage of established orders. Thus I find the sea to be a far more viable, interesting and dynamic medium for prospective human colonization than the frozen quasi-infinite largely featureless vacuum of space-time, on a timescale which would be of any significance at all to we and/or our progeny for many generations to come.

The underpinning political dynamic is Revanchism; "the policy of seeking to retaliate, particularly as to lost territory" This has led to the rise in Russia of a political class known as the Siloviki; "Security Men" This class operates by Praetorianism; "military despotic regime" As a result the policy of the Kremlin is to reclaim lost territory in the Russian near abroad and to restore Hegemonic influence with former Soviet client states such as Syria, which in their view was lost to the American led North Atlantic Treaty Organization upon said Hegenomy's asymmetrical defeat of the Soviet Union by economic warfare. Thus, the actions undertaken to invade and occupy territory is not mistaken per se, but rather operations underpinning a strategic objective, sound military strategy by default, in pursuit of what are achievable objectives within an historically viable and proven military strategy for Hegemonic supremacy, regional or otherwise.

True. The art and science of earthworks and entrenchment is prized by the infantry elite. To the larger point tho, Cpl. Nathan Cirillo of the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders of Canada (Princess Louise's) was gunned down on ceremonial pubic duties on Parliament Hill, which is the most heavily secured area of operations in the country. Soon as you take the oath of service, sign the contract of unlimited liability and don the uniform of your sovereign, you have undertaken to kill and/or die in the name of, and are as a result subject to military force at all times, potentially rendering your life forfeit. The profession of arms is the profession of arms, I do not distinguish between us by trade, tasking, nor line serial in the table of organization and equipment.

Provably false. Observe; Per capita GDP income in Canada in 1950 was roughly $2000.00, inflation adjusted that would be a per capita GDP income of roughly $20,000 in 2019 The actual GDP income in Canada in 2019 is roughly $50,000 Ergo, Canadians are being paid two and half times more now than they were in the 1950's in real terms, real terms being adjusted for inflation.

The issue of a lack of shared sacrifice for Canadian Confederation has nothing to do with taxation. The issue is that Confederation does not serve the purpose or which it was intended, which was a simple and straightforward military/trade alliance. Instead the country has been seized by the far left who incite a nonsensical socialist nanny state in the name of Marixst utopianism. It's dysfunctional, ineffective and counterproductive, crippling Confederations national military/trade. As a result, few are really prepared to kill and/or die to uphold and defend it, nor does anybody really want pay for it, other than the aforementioned bolshevists Hence, failed state fake country. The only reason it doesn't collapse into civil disorder, is that for some reason the Americans are want to prop up a quasi communist state on their northern border. What the Americans should do is allow the productive people to the north to emigrate to America where they can reach their full potential to the benefit of America. Then just leave the rest to squabble about it pointlessly in their self imposed gulag. Oh, wait, that's already what they do. NVM.

Common sense is a fallacy, clearly as there is no sense in the nanny state war on drugs. Thousands of drug users are killing themselves because that's a high risk lifestyle, who knew? Personal responsibility, not my problem, if I kill myself, that's my problem, if they kill themselves, that's their problem. You're going to shut the ports down to examine every single container from China? Unrealistic but a fool's errant to start off with. And for what? To save junkies from themselves? Absurd. You said you were a "Real" conservative, but what you are advocating is nanny state socialism, so not so conservative after all, as I said at the time /shrugs

Australia is awesome tho, they have the best pound for pound army in the world, Canada used to be the Punch of Weight Class Best Small Army in the World, but no more, Australia is the undisputed holder of that title naow.
