It is always heartening to be reminded that people in other countries think we would be insane if we sent trump (lower case intended, since he deserves no respect) back to the White House. Truthfully, I am hoping that Canada has lots of space for us if this occurs, since the U.S. could become dangerous and uninhabitable. (Many of us would be bringing valuable skills. 😊)

Alas, I am too old and don't have the required $$ to emigrate to Canada. I will have to be one of those latter-sipping illegal immigrates sneaking across the border. As Garrison Keillor once talked about
It’s funny this thing about Canada being a refuge for Americans. They have no special Visa status for us. In fact generally stated, truth be told,Canadians have rather an antipathy for Americans. Their immigration rules are very strict and are tied to their labor statistics I.e. which industries need what employees. I know, I tried to get permanent residency there for seven years. Got kicked out because the category I was working to gain points ( yes it’s a points system) got shoved so I lost my points,status, insurance and work permit overnight. And, in most social democratic countries there is also an AGE limit on immigration. So, unless you have money, or get a job with a Canadian company ( and they can only hire you if they can’t find a Canadian National with same qualifications) don’t count on Cañada as your escape!

We can only hope that if VP Harris isn’t our next president that Canada doesn’t close its borders to the US!!

Shame. We fished and camped all across Canada up to Banff and back. Lived on Knife Lake for three weeks at a time.
Wow. What a response to someone sharing their personal experience with Canada. Do you think that immigrating might be different than asylum?
