Americans moving to Canada receive a not-so-warm welcome...

This is what I’ve been saying. The kind of people who are trying to get away from fascism are exactly the kind of people we want.

I’m fine with then coming here I just have to ask if they are fine leaving trump types in charge of one of the biggest global threats, at least smash something on the way out

Lol dammit this got me.
Seriously though, can I come if I’m fleeing there with my trans parter? I’m legit scared of what this government will do, hopefully somewhere in BC will be safer than living under this government that seems to want us erased.
Sorry Canadian bros, I technically have citizenship though I’ve been down here my entire life, probably moving back and doing the spousal sponsorship thing.
Best part? This past year it was a huge deal and a big step for her - we finally waded through the mountain of red tape to get her markers and name on her drivers and passport updated to match her appearance. It was a big step in her being able to buy booze without being misgendered. The consequence it’s that any of the shady fucks they’ll install in the state department can probably run a search and find out where we fucking live. Fucking fantastic.
Honestly if anyone has advice for a tech worker trying to move, I’d really appreciate it.
If it makes you feel better, I bet you can guess how we’ll vote.

We’re all aware that This Hour Has 22 Minutes is satire, yeah?

If you have citizenship you can certainly come; if you’re wanting to bring your partner, best get married and get on it while we still recognize the marriage. Our next election is no later than October, and it’s not looking good

I’d be down for this. Send them all to the deep south, no takebacks when climate change fucks it all up. Seize the great lakes.

biggest global threats
Whichever party is “in” in the US has relatively little effect on what happens outside the US.
We’ve all just been outright threatened with economic obliteration for the possibility of enforcing an ICC arrest warrant.
Trump’s just going mask off as far as geopolitics goes.

Slide me one of those jobs with a work visa and I’ll be on the first train out. Got like 6 months of Duolingo French if that helps

As someone who borders most of the Great Lakes, please don’t seize - most of us will join you willingly
-
Please don’t send your best, we’d like you all to still be there when we arrive.

And how will Canada defend itself against its fascist neighbor?

Americans fleeing to Canada in 2024 gives Germans fleeing to Austria in 1934 vibes.

Progressive Americans share too many values with Conservative Canadians. Sorry.

Or you know, allow free movement if people wherever free movement of capital and commodities is allowed. An American Schengen if you will.

Apologizing for pointing out something obvious: most Canadian thing ever.
