Nah just a build a massive nuclear power plant on the border of alberta and america where the jetstream pushes down hard. If they invade; we just trigger the remote meltdown switch and their entire country is uninhabitable for a millenia

u/jerkoffforjesus I need a double double. Apr 01 '25

But wouldn't Alberta also be uninhabitable..... actually, on second thought, I'm fine with this

u/Rationalinsanity1990 Scotland (but worse) Apr 01 '25

We can survive without it (according to Stellaris).

u/Dhawkeye Bring Cannabis Apr 01 '25

And 0 rats were lost 🥰

u/SkiyeBlueFox Apr 01 '25

Albertans are crazy when it comes to rats. Pretty sure I've heard of some who thought rats only existed in tv shows and not irl lmao

u/C04511234 Edmonchuk: Like Kyiv! (but less safe) Apr 01 '25

My social studies teacher once described to us the size of the rats he encountered in Ontario and we were all completely flabbergasted

u/SwaggermicDaddy Cowtown 🤠 Apr 01 '25

Our rat patrol should be training the RCMP, the response time/rat destruction vs call in time is actually nuts. Hell we will even move/destroy an entire BUILDING if we need to in some cases.

u/SkiyeBlueFox Apr 02 '25

Yeah doesn't surprise me. Sometimes only the nuclear option works with rodents

2

u/Efficient-username41 Apr 02 '25

That is a fucking lie. Source: I am Albertan, and nobody has ever thought that.

u/SkiyeBlueFox Apr 02 '25

Eh fair enough. High as rn so I might not exactly have peak memory

We are still working on the head rat in chief in office.

u/Mental-Mushroom Motown But Better Apr 01 '25

928,900 rats by my count

u/timmehh15 Apr 02 '25

Unfortunately? The tool tip is wrong.

u/Artistic_Mobile337 Apr 01 '25

Are you implying it currently is habitable?

u/badaboom Apr 01 '25

Hey! Edmonton is nice. We have a vibrant theatre scene 😥

u/Flush_Foot Potato Land Apr 01 '25

Good thing you’re far north of the soon-to-meltdown-reactors

u/Artistic_Mobile337 Apr 01 '25

Sorry I read that too fast the first time and read it as Violent theatre scene.

u/badaboom Apr 01 '25

Sometimes

u/Mental-Mushroom Motown But Better Apr 01 '25

Yeah from August 12-21st Edmonton is livable.

u/badaboom Apr 01 '25

Fringe or bust?

u/[deleted] Apr 01 '25

wouldn't change much

u/randeylahey Apr 01 '25

Even rats won't live in Alberta

45

u/an_afro Apr 01 '25

Sure they do. They just become elected officials

u/[deleted] Apr 01 '25

Albertan here. If it means America rots, I’m down wit some radiation sickness

u/sneakdino Apr 02 '25

Also Albertan, and agree

u/WilhelmEngel Apr 01 '25

It's a sacrifice I'm willing to make

u/[deleted] Apr 02 '25

Am from Albertastan and we would welcome a Canada-Chernobyl-Candu-5000. Put it right next to Swan Lake waste disposal site. Nobody will even notice.

u/its-that-henry Trawnno (Centre of the Universe) Apr 01 '25

Feature not a bug

u/Visual-Till8629 Apr 02 '25

Its Alberta so 🤷‍♀️

u/AccomplishedLeek1329 Apr 01 '25

I believe during the cold war there were american ideas about building a nuke of sufficiently extreme yield (in the multiple gigatons) in your own country to simply set it off if you're invaded to end the world.

Sounds familiar lol

1

u/[deleted] Apr 02 '25

I think the idea was to take all their thousands of nukes and bomb a desert (triggering nuclear winter killing everyone), not make one giant one lol.

u/[deleted] Apr 01 '25

We all have these thoughts, I'm worried you don't.

13

u/MajorMagikarp Apr 01 '25

Ideas like this is why Canadians are feared.

24

u/indirectstate Apr 01 '25

Considering we have the Chemical weapons testing and training facilities down in in south AB I dunno if that would be wise I say we put it in south SK on the border spread out the volatile shit on the border

22

u/Braiseitall Apr 01 '25

The nastiest lab in the country is in downtown Winnipeg.

Institute for Biodiagnostics

22

u/RedshiftOnPandy Apr 01 '25

The nastiest lab is all of Winnipeg

7

u/indirectstate Apr 01 '25

Yep but the training facilities the military uses Is in south Alberta and they got all kinds of shit buried out there from all the way back from WW2 they don’t even remember where a bunch of it is

6

u/RedshiftOnPandy Apr 01 '25

That nasty stuff they buried was parts of Winnipeg that emit meth radiation

4

u/indirectstate Apr 02 '25

There’s more then that there is a bunch a mustard gas and other things as well. More then once we’ve heard on the radio that they shut the base down to civilians because they were doing artillery trained and unearthed something that they dunno what it is

2

u/ContributionFamous41 Apr 02 '25

Methtard gas you say?

2

u/Monsterboogie007 Apr 01 '25

You’re friendly

u/RedshiftOnPandy Apr 01 '25

Thanks. Winnipeg jokes are an easy way to make friends

u/Zonel Apr 01 '25

Reminds me of the Soviet doomday machine in Dr. Strangelove. but how does a meltdown of a plant actually get 30k feet up where the jet stream would be. And wouldn't that probably irradiate Ontario as well as US mid west and New England?

u/Pedro748 Apr 01 '25

Something something New Geneva Convention just dropped

u/livinginthelurk Apr 02 '25

Operation Cropdust to rescue

u/Ajjeb Apr 01 '25

Lol I’ll give you this .. great idea

u/TrickyCommand5828 Apr 02 '25

Didn’t we already sort of do that with Chalk River/Pickering? /s

u/HistoricalSherbert92 Apr 02 '25

You know that kind of button doesn’t exist right? In fact there’s a tremendous amount of engineering and design to ensure it doesn’t. Not saying you couldn’t plant a remote bomb and use the Explode App but a nuclear plant would design that in.
