    I’ve looked into it, believe me. New Zealand too. My wife is too rooted to our house, and we have an adult daughter still living at home with medical problems that would probably disqualify her.

    Immigration in most developed countries is stricter than the US. And we all know the US’s immigration restrictions are insane.

    Don’t worry. He’ll be coming for Canada. You already have MAGA lovers up there. Who’s going to stop him? The Canadian military?

      It already well on it’s way depending on your province. People have moved out of Quebec because of the intolerance going on there. Hell, I know a streamer who moved because someone threw a fucking brick through their window at his wife who moved there from the USA. Not because she’s black or colored either, because she’s white as a piece of paper.

    Don’t come to Canada. We don’t have enough housing for the people already here. Most of you will die of exposure during your first winter here.

    Go to Mexico instead. I’m sure they’ll take you.

      Canada talking a lot of good shit in posts like this lately. Don’t get me wrong, I grew up near the border and I love Canada, but don’t pretend it’s not just a handful of resource extraction companies stacked in a trench coat pretending to be a country.

        We rank above the US is virtually every metric. Education. Healthcare. Life expectancy. Lower infant and maternal mortality. Standard of living. Quality of life. Safety. Religious freedom. Personal freedom. Better place to do business. Better place to headquarter a business. Better beer. Maple syrup.

        But by all means, keep telling yourself whatever you need to tell yourself to get through the day.

        As a wisconsinite I can tell you climate change is destabilizing the polar vortex so now there’s about a week every year where it’s -40 so climate change isn’t just about warming but the general change and destabilization of the climate

          Hot gets hotter and cold gets colder. I don’t know why think one without the other. It’s how the Earth fights back.

    Canada is just america but 5-10 years behind on the crazy policies. It really isn’t any better and cost of living is often higher than in america.

      This is simply not true. Did America have universal medicine 5-10 years ago? Subsidized education? Abortion and trans rights? Refugee policies? The only country in America attempting to highlight the genocide in Gaza? “Cost of living” isn’t higher on average, it’s the taxes and population density in specific areas that skew the numbers. Not surprising you cant count.

      Seems to me americans love to say Canada is americas retarded cousin (quoting tucker carlson) because it makes them feel better, but it’s simply not true.

        Our society isnt exactly the same as America’s but it does seem to mirror it a little more every year. For example we are on the brink of losing our public healthcare and some provinces are attacking trans rights. Canada has also been exporting arms to Israel during the genocide.

          Fascism is growing. Saying we are america 5-10 years behind is stupid. I didnt say canada wasnt exporting arms, i said it’s the only one publicly calling out the problem.

          This garabge of “well we still send arms” with 0 nuance is why assholes like Trump get elected. Gtfo out canada you arent helping

    Don’t move here. We have a bad enough housing crisis without a bunch of Americans showing up to take up homes and jobs. Stay in your country and fix your damn mess

      It’s a shit ton harder than people realize… well at least to go anywhere in the industrialized world. Unless you are independently wealthy or have an extremely high demand job.

      Billy Bob who’s career is working at McDonalds isn’t going to get approved.

        have an extremely high demand job.

        I’m banking on this actually. My specialties are, and my wife’s is as well. So I’m reaching out to companies I know with a presence to see what my options are where I’d like to go, and decide from there. I doubt we will be the only ones though, so we’ll see what that ends up looking like.

        The only up side is I’m in a very niche specialty with broad experience, have contacts on both sides of the work I do.

        I think I’m in a better position than most, and I still think its going to be an uphill battle.

    It’s not just that, people are acting like things are better in other countries. Like, name ONE country that has not gone off the deep end and ended up on the right recently. One major player. I’ll wait. There is no utopia waiting for you in those other countries because they don’t want you there and acting like you will be accepted as a refugee is foolhardy. The USA is a shit show right now, but we also don’t know the future. It looks bleak right now because of the information we have RIGHT NOW. If you want to move out of the country, be my guest, but don’t act like it’s going to automatically be better, it’s just going to be a different kind of shit show.
