Canada has a high likelihood of electing its own conservative government next year…
Funny but it's not funny.

Having Trump getting elected down south might help as people will realize that it’s not a fucking joke and strategic voting is necessary.

Conservatives are winning next time around in Canada. It’s set in stone at this point.

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.
skeezix@lemmy.world 1 week ago
This is a typical process similar to other countries as well.
jimmydoreisalefty@lemmy.world 1 week ago
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.

tbh it’s much more difficult to migrate legally to the US

It’s truly awful. I can’t look anyone in their eyes. All I can think about are how many of them voted my rights away by electing Trump again. I’ve never felt so isolated and desperate. I’m in a red state that outvoted Democrats 2:1, so it’s extra bad.
I’m feeling like I never want to participate in community things around here ever again. No handing out candy, no helping neighbors shovel their snow, no making friends without asking who they fucking voted for. Hell, I don’t even want to travel to see my R-voter relatives for the holidays. I’m putting all visits on hold, which is gonna really piss them of, because this is the first grandkid’s (our son) first holidays.
To be honest, I’m feeling sick for even choosing to have him despite my better judgment, which is the worst feeling to have while looking at your baby. It was in a period of hope that maybe we’d be able to overcome that orange fucker’s influence, but now look where we are. I feel like I’ve sentenced him to a fate worse than death to have brought him into this world at this time in this country. Especially with the climate certainly being extra fucked now.
FUCK THIS.

Ah, yeah - that’s another thing. I’m a dude, but I’d been waffling on whether I should try to have kids for a while now. This has made the choice for me. I’m getting a vasectomy.

Americans don’t realize we have our own lil JD primed and ready to take over here as well, funded and helped by Republican strategists and think tanks oh boy.

Watch out, america doesn’t send their best. They are undereducated rapists. Some of them might be good people, who knows.

I looked into it, they don’t really want you unless your rich.
bruhduh@lemmy.world 1 week ago
Any country immigration program wants rich or/and skilled or/and very highly educated people, and i didn’t even started about USA immigration programs, they are in another league entirely, you can’t just immigrate into USA even if you are one of the aforementioned categories
Sabata11792@ani.social 1 week ago
Most Americans wouldn’t pass an US immigration test.
Revan343@lemmy.ca 1 week ago
We’ll take doctors and nurses no problem. And funny, I expect a bunch of American doctors are likely to want to take their practice elsewhere in the near future
EnderMB@lemmy.world 1 week ago
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!
skeezix@lemmy.world 1 week ago
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.
NihilisticOptimist@lemmy.world 1 week ago
Once the US backs out of NATO I’m sure the prospect of living here won’t be as enticing.
rippersnapper@lemm.ee 1 week ago
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?
NihilisticOptimist@lemmy.world 1 week ago
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.

Wall streat is also going up… For me, as a European with ETFs, it feels like I’ll now benefit from the fact that Americans voted for self-exploitation… And that feels kind of weird…
killingspark@feddit.org 1 week ago
Honestly the jump in the etfs is kind of crazy. I expected a rebound from the recent dip but not like that

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

inclementimmigrant@lemmy.world 1 week ago
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?
skeezix@lemmy.world 1 week ago
Canada is no different than most other developed nations in their immigration requirements.
HK65@sopuli.xyz 1 week ago
Exactly. People from the US are always surprised they are not a default privileged class all over the world.
inclementimmigrant@lemmy.world 1 week ago
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.
