As much of a joke as it is, that's a real option for me. Won't pull the trigger on day one, but you bet your ass I'll be ready to go at a moments notice.
There are currently only 8 or 9 "move to Canada" comments; you'll need more before the number of shots is sure to kill you.
Oh yeah because it's that easy to just pack up and move to a country that doesn't want you.
Statistically, most people who pop off about moving to Canada won't have an easy time of it, but the two countries do share one of the world's longest land borders and have countless economic and cultural ties. There are undoubtedly thousands of people in the US who have citizenship or eligibility for work permits, along with some financial means.
I will have no issue imegrating, I have "an in" as well as a place to live already.
The border is only a 20 minute drive anyway.
The "doesn't want me" statement seems like your personal opinion, not objective reality.
Yah, if you have any skills and are financially stable, Canada is super down. They love people who contribute to society.
Or, ya know, you married one of em.
Exactly. I would've left this country years ago if it was that simple. I can't afford to vacation in Canada, let alone move there, and I live in a northern state.
The only problem I have with moving is, I have this feeling you can't escape politics by doing that. The problem is social media dividing everyone and pushing extremism. Surely that is everywhere?
It's completely understandable! I wouldn't want to be in the US either if I were American and Canada seem pretty chill in comparison.
