You can always ask them if they're also looking forward to dozens of millions of climate migrants from South East Asia, Latin America, and Africa, once those places become warmer. Emphasize that those migrants would move into their province or town.
- Vecr 5y agoCanada is a sovereign nation, it has no obligation to accept any of those migrants. Under current agreements it would accept asylum seekers from the US, but it could easily withdraw. You could have winged UAVs with small arms paroling constantly at very low time increments at any possible land entrance point, and dropping demolition satchels from helicopters is a very easy method to handle attempted landings. Or you could use the UAVs again if that gets too costly in resources. The current government would probably not try this, but a lot can change over the coming decades. I don't find this position very novel, as MAD, The Samson Option, and the Korean DMZ were considered and at least implemented in a posturing way, even if the first two are quite overblown.
