    That would require money, which most of the working class does not have.

    The people spewing this rhetoric are those higher up the food chain; moving out of the US was also said in 2016 and 2020.

        True!

        I wonder if the numbers will have an impactful change when comparing the people that said they would move out of the U.S. due to 2016/2020/2024.

    Canada has a high likelihood of electing its own conservative government next year…

    I suspect you’re joking. But most developed countries wont accept anyone with a criminal record.

    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.

      Canada is still well protected, unlike rest of Europe which has a land border with Russia. Post Ukraine, it’s the turn of ex Soviet states (i.e. Lithuania, etc) to start googling where to move?

        The Artic boarder has been being disputed with Russia for awhile now, once NATO loses its strongest backing, Russia is going to be getting closer to there neighbours in the north.

    I don’t mean this in a horrible way, but a lot of people on here are extremely entitled when it comes to immigration.The US is an incredibly hard place to move to, even if you are a skilled worker. While it often is easier to move into Europe or Canada, it’s not a given that you can just walk into any of these countries and expect to live there. Immigration is hard!

      Yes. As someone who’s emigrated and researched it I can say many desirable countries are more difficult to get in to than the US.

      American’s attitude that they can just “leave” with a passport and a backpack is just another form of American exceptionalism.
