    I did that when Trump won the first time.

    It’s not easy to emigrate there with the way their system is set up. If you’re older and poor, nope. If you’re older and middle class, nope. That points system and Canadian first job market will make it very hard to move there.

    If you’re rich, yup easy as pie but then again, if you’re rich, why would you leave this grifter’s paradise?

    I did try because honestly I loss a lot of faith in America when that Nazi won the first time and I basically got nowhere even though I’m in tech.

      Canada is no different than most other developed nations in their immigration requirements.

        I’m not saying that other nations don’t have a stringent immigration system, I’m simply pointing out that all of these first time searchers are going to be in for a rude awakening.

          Yes. I try to educate them when I see this particular form of American exceptionalism. They think that for the price of a plane ticket they will get a Fantasy Island welcome with Mr Roark and a harem of women waiting to wipe their ass with silk.
