    Holy. Fucking. Shit. That’s bad. That’s oppressively stupid fucking bad.

    Hey Americans: Don’t want to be oppressed or live in a fascist state? Immigrate to Canada! We’re hella friendly and open to people’s of all kinds, except MAGAs and Nazis and or maga-nazis

        Hmm. You all raise a good point. As Canadians, I think we need to make it easier for Americans to immigrate here.

        We need to experience and expertise and we need to learn how to expedite that to bring the right people here to help expand Canadas capabilities.

        Canadians, how to we make this happen? I have zero knowledge how to make this happen.

          You guys seem to have a very open asylum policy. Give it a few years and a lot of Americans might qualify without you doing anything else.

      I would move up there next week if it was that easy and didn’t mean probably losing my awesome job. Oh, and it might be a bit disruptive for my family, too.

      I was going to say, “no, stay and fight”, but on second thought I agree with this sentiment for more vulnerable groups like trans folks

      I’m moving to Sweden but I’ll be stopping by your way first! I’m too trans to let tsa look at my passport so I’m going to land travel to you all and take a plane out from there

          Unless things have changed significantly at the border in the past few years, there’s no process to leave the US. It’s just the Canadian border guard checking things as you enter their country.

          Of course, if the GOP decides to fully enact Operation: Handmaid’s Tale, then that could change.

      I’m still happy with Massachusetts, but my company is based in UK and we have an office outside Toronto. The road is paved

      Ha, if only that was an actual possibility. Most Americans will not qualify for immigration to Western countries.

      I’d also hold off on thinking you’ll be safe. Poilievre might be unpopular now, but there’s a lot of time between now and the election. It’s not a slam dunk for Liberal, fascism can absolutely still rise in your country too.
