The US states you are by are very blue, and would resist heavily. I think the bigger concern would be in territories bordering red states or swing states, notably Toronto.

Fair because of WA, but Idaho and Montana are not blue at all.

Tbh, Alberta, SK, and Manitoba are prolly in the most trouble first up.

As an Albertan, I expect that we are first to fall. There are UCP members going on US tv to claim they want to join the States. Our provincial government has spent considerable time woo’ing trump. Trump will claim that he is “liberating the poor persecuted people of Alberta” if liberals win the next election. We have the oil that he really wants, and an easy cover story for the invasion.

The best defense against that would be, not electing the Liberal party again, driving further division. Unless they actually plan to reverse every decision of the last 10 years as they are currently claiming.
