As a Canadian, please don't come here (unless your reproductive rights/ bodily autonomy are under direct threat)
Sometimes I feel hopeless with our political parties and economy up here and think about moving out of country and then I remember that as a citizen I have a duty and responsibility to remain a voice of reason in my community.
As a US citizen you are afforded real rights that citizens in other countries do not have. For example: In Canada we don't have rights, we have freedoms. Those freedoms can be suspended by the government at any time.
Be the change. Fix your system. Help turn your nation into the example for the global west that it always aspired to.
Speaking as a Canadian, if you feel like your personal safety and bodily autonomy is threatened in a way that can be improved by moving here, you are welcome. It's called the Charter of RIGHTS and Freedoms. We absolutely have rights.
The number of Americans I meet who think that Canada is just "USA 2" is staggering.
As a Canadian, I say this with the utmost sincerity: if you’re thinking of moving here because you’re a leftist, don’t. Canada is about to take a huge swing to the right in next year’s election. People are extremely sick of Trudeau and his refusal to withdraw from the upcoming election (he’s been in power for 9 years) will take his party down with him.
Come to europe please if youre liberal and you are able to
We've just seen that stepping aside is pointless without a popular candidate to step up. Neither the Liberals nor the NDP have anyone.
Also, you can't afford a house, car ownership is mandatory, and we do nothing to stop our oligarchs from creating monopolies and playing silly little games like price fixing groceries.
Sounds like United States 2: Electric Boogaloo.
Supporting oligarchy is an official policy here. It’s based on some grossly misguided ideology that big Canadian companies will protect us against bigger American competitors. We’re raising our own breed of face-eating snow leopards!
I mean, the paperwork is probably online so you could get a head start, but I wouldn’t get your hopes up for fast bureaucracy nor cutting the line. Plus we just cut down on immigration to play along with your trend.
Don’t hold your breath.
Not to mention a housing crisis significantly worse than the US from what I hear.
They won't take you
Canada isn't America. You can't just cross the border and claim to be "undocumented". There's a shit ton of paperwork and it's a lengthy process. If you just jump the border they will deport your ass.
!Just like the US should do with everyone who did the same.!<
Same
Why, Canada sucks though
