    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.

      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?

        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.

        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.

        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.

      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.
