Please don't give him ideas.
We’re definitely in show me your papers days
Except now they just scan your retina from afar
That's dumb. If there's ever a Hitler-level problem a reasonably fit guy like him can just cross through the woods into canada in several places. Stay and fight. Elon's defeat in Wisconsin today shows that as lame as it sounds, voting does work. If you actually do it.
What can someone like this do from the US that he couldn't do from Canada?
Vote and legally fund candidates
Please tell me this user name and these comments are a bit.
Moving abroad is different to giving up citizenship and doesn't remove your right to vote or fund candidates.
what do you mean "if there's ever"? People are being blackbagged off the street in broad daylight by secret police and sent to torture prisons...
Yeah but that's not going to entrench Trump's power since those people can't vote. I'm talking about stuff like Jan 6, but successful. Cancelling elections, arresting opposition candidates, etc. Everything they're doing now will come to an end after the next election.
torture prisons
Enhanced Employment
Never thought I would see a flood of Americans refugees coming to Canada to escape a tyrannical government...
I guess that's what you get when you elect a criminal with dementia as president.
I mean.... There was that whole Vietnam draft thing in the 60s/70s...
Really? People have been talking about it since the Bush administration. Until now things hadn't gotten bad enough for people to actually do it in large numbers, but people saying that if the Republicans win they'd move to Canada has been repeated so often over the decades that it became a bit of a joke.
Trump 2.0 is WAY worse than any Bush.
Remember when we thought Bush was bad? God I'd love to have him instead
Without the crucial steps the W Bush admin took, there would be no Trump. It's not that Trump isn't worse but they are part of the same fascist movement, just further developed.
We are talking people fleeing the USA for their lives. This is Trump phenomena as he is demonizing and literally going after dissenters.
I know, but it's the "never thought" part that I'm disputing. People have been thinking of this situation for a long time.

Getting close to Handmaid's Tale every day.
I know this isn’t related to the article but I would love it as a fuck you to Trump if Canada started allowing political refugees from the states
My fear would be our MAGAts would lie tou you, claim they were never MAGA, get in, and start the same shit there.
Just so you know, Canada’s version of the NSA actually hosted NSA staff or provided signal intelligence to US agencies so they could circumvent the “no spying on us citizens” part of many laws.
We do know how to profile people and have done it internally quite well for some time. Our blind spot is more international due to being the US lapdog. But that will change soon enough.
they would have to scrub their entire social medias, they can barely work their iphones half the time.
Unfortunately they're already here :(
One of them commented on requiring vaccine papers when coming into Canada. I told him to join his buddies down south.

Come to the Netherlands: https://dutchreview.com/expat/30-percent-ruling-netherlands/
Is there a path to an eu passport? Is there an age restriction?
If you're hot and willing to pay, I'll marry you.
There is no "EU" passport, only passports of countries in the EU. I'm pretty sure you have to be 18 to attempt to immigrate (although that doesn't stop many teenagers from going for it by working under the table until they can get a legit job to sponsor them, and pls do not think I'm encouraging that!)

I'm a US American who has been considering expatriating, but its too expensive.
Can someone tell me if my passport gets pulled, do I not have to pay the expatriation tax on my net worth?
I'm positive they will tax you all the same
