Ottawa, CA - In a move that has escalated international tension to new heights, Canada has responded to The United States threat of invasion with a fiery promise: a 1812-style retaliation. “If they try to invade us, we'll make sure their scones, smart fridges, and entire internet history go up in flames,” declared Canadian Minister of Historical Records, Louis Dubois.
Tensions began when The President Elect of The United States, Donald Trump casually suggested during a press conference that annexing Canada might “simplify things.” “We're already neighbors, so why not make it official?” Trump said. “Besides, they'd love being part of the greatest nation on Earth. Free streaming services, better snacks—it’s a win-win.”
The remark ignited a firestorm north of the border. “Simplify things?” retorted Dubois. “If by simplify, they mean reduce everything to ashes, then sure. Invade us, and we'll simplify their Whole Foods parking lots and artisan donut shops real fast.”
Operation Maple Fury 2.0
Leaked details of Operation Maple Fury 2.0 reveal that Canada is fully prepared to fight back. Their arsenal reportedly includes:
* Flaming hockey sticks and strategically positioned moose (trained to headbutt SUVs).
* Tactical syrup spills designed to clog highways and immobilize Teslas.
* A covert task force of plaid-wearing lumberjacks known only as “The Sawyers.”
A senior official added, “We'll also jam their Wi-Fi with endless reruns of Degrassi. That ought to break their spirit.”
The United States, brushing off the threats, remained defiant. “Burn it all?” Trump sneered. “Good luck with that. We’ve got heat-resistant infrastructure, drones, and a Starbucks on every corner. Bring your flaming sticks—we'll put them out with beer.”
He then added with a smirk, “And if they do invade, we'll make them take our leftover cabbage supply with them. That’s revenge enough.”
The international spat quickly became the Internet’s favorite new pastime, with commentary ranging from biting wit to outright mockery:

@DiplomacyDebunked wrote, “Annexation threats? Flaming retaliation? This isn’t diplomacy; it’s a poorly written soap opera where everyone forgot their lines.”
One post cut deep: @BurntMaple, “Canada threatening to burn everything is the boldest move I’ve seen since my cat tried to fight the vacuum cleaner.”
A comment from @EhMooseLoose simply read: “Alrighty then! Let’s all pack up our maple syrup and hockey pucks—it’s time to build bunkers, eh!”
The memes followed quickly. One viral image, posted by @FlameOnFury, depicted a flaming hockey stick with the caption: “When you play with fire but forget it melts ice.” Another, shared by @BorderlineBurnout, showed a border crossing sign that read: “Welcome to The United States—now serving burnt toast and political tension.”

“This is ridiculous,” said Dr. Mildred Jared. “We're talking about nations that haven’t even agreed on who makes better French fries. Invasion? Retaliation? It’s just political theater at this point. Although, I'd pay good money to see the flaming moose strategy in action.”
As tensions continue to rise, citizens of both nations are left grappling with uncertainty. Will this escalate into a full-blown conflict, a begrudging truce, or a standoff that redefines modern diplomacy? The world watches nervously as leaders on both sides exchange threats that feel more personal than political. For now, one thing is clear: the stakes have never been higher, and neither side seems willing to back down.
