PoTD: In a war between Canada and an independent California, who would win? Why?

[YPrrrr]

a unified california police force will assume the role of military for this conflict

I mean that works as a joke but in reality it doesn't

[Kalahari Inkantation]

And why doesn't it?

[YPrrrr]

And why doesn't it?

Canada would have a full airforce with jets and a navy at its disposal which California on its own does not possess. Actually come to think of it Canada could win simply by using incendiaries and targeting fresh water sources and power sources like the Hoover dam. California would be broken fairly easily

[Hiro]

I would assume that the Californian military would have an equivalent military in most regards to the US, proportional in size to that of either California's proportion of the US population or that of it's current contribution to the US Military

it would be a logistical cluster fucker for both sides lol.

my instinct was to say that canada would win for about the same reasons

a large independent advanced country with proper armed forces vs. a newly independent state and its unified, militarized police force

and then canada (and its predecessor territories) has two centuries of military expertise behind it, fighting alongside the best of the best, with not a single loss in that time; while an independent california will have had no proper military experience whatsoever

canada, with the largest maritime border in the world, should naturally have an extremely well developed navy, right

geographically, it's sparse and frigid, so it would be very difficult to take over entirely, especially for arid desert folk like californians

So clearly Canada would win, right?

Yes Canada would win. Canada also has large supplies of freshwater and oil, which California does not. They would be worn down

what about quebec vs california

what about quebec vs california

that one's easy

[ME##]

all i can say is at least canada doesn't force auto manufacturers to put this on cars




and why nobody who works in commifornian branches at work removes these stickers baffles me

i asked this question of my sister, figuring she could lend some insight as a california citizen

her response as to who would win: [glow=black,2,300]washington[/glow]

California, 100%. Prove me wrong.

Trudeaun't would even welcome, with open arms, the Khalif*rnian troops as refugees.
