Yeah that's actually what happened.
They took over several townships
At gunpoint.
And people were just like "alright buddy"
And then carried on and waited for British forces.

Why are Canadians so fucking based
That said, the raids accelerated Canada's confederation.
So that was bad.
"We're taking over this town!"
"Yeah, whatever man"
Canada became Canada from the provinces of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, PEI, lower Canada (Quebec) and upper Canada (Ontario) because of the Fenians.
Which then also prompted John A MacDonald to construct a proper state militia.
Unironically, the Fenians plan was to *invade* the celtic parts of Canada and they would just side with them.
Because fuck Britain lmao
*Holds up your town at gunpoint*
Lets kill England together.
They also thought that Quebecers were gonna be the same way and just join them.
It also might be one of the only examples of actual Canadian nationalism.
As a response to essentially being invaded by the IRA.
>Canadian nationalism

Yeah when a meme invasion is a source of nationalism you know that ship ain't sailing far.
Like, Canadians are kind of like Czechs to me
No one can treat you seriously
We used to have the 5th largest navy in the world during WWII.
We even had a carrier or two.

Ok bud
WE
HELPED
😎
You reminded me about stories from WWII
When Germany and Slovakia invaded Poland
*ACKSHUALLY* we were so good at WWII, that we were the first to take our beach on D-Day so we helped the Americans take theirs.
Since they were having some trouble all by themselves.
And everytime Polish soldiers got some captives they asked them if they were Germans or Slovakians
And then they usually were killing off the Germans and letting free the Slovakians
And then after that we kinda just clean up. We liberate Holland the Netherlands, some places in France and Italy and that's about it.
Because you just can't be mad at Slovakians
<:kek:519747357076881408>
I guess same would happen to Canadians during fights with Germans
You guys give off a real Czecho-Slovak vibe
Well it would've been harder to tell.
Since we speak English also.
