This dumbass is obsessed with taking over another country. I don’t get it. Is he jealous of Putin annexing land? Also Donny. We have several territories that could be given statehood. Make Puerto Rico a full fledged state. I dare you.
I mean, it’s true. We also have morons and neonazis up here. Of course, the detail that’s probably lost on him is that the number is nowhere near even a plurality of our basest conservatives.
Stop entertaining this shit.
As an European I wonder: Are there any Canadian citizens that want to become US Americans? Is there a relevant number of migrations north to south?
I can see some people in the rural areas of Alberta and Saskatchewan wanting it to happen. But the vast majority of Canadians see the US as a dystopia. The health insurance situation alone is a good enough reason on its own to stay clear of that country. Then you add the higher violent crime rate, the police problem, the lack of workers and consumers rights and protections, the minimum salary getting even more laughably lower than in Canada, the fucking dumpster fire of corruption and dysfunction that is the political situation in the US right now that makes our own political problems look insignificant, the sheer lack of public service, the fact that Canadians would absolutely be treated like second class citizens in the US… Quebec would get the fuck out of that as well. They’ve been treated like second class citizens in their own homes already in the past. They remember how it is. Their motto directly translates to “I remember” for crying out loud.
Also I’ve served in the military for two decades and am looking forward to retiring with a solid pension plan in about 10-15 years. I would absolutely go ballistic if they slashed my salary, benefits and pension to what the poor chumps in the US military equivalent to me get. Don’t expect any Canadian military member to take this on idly.
I am from MI and know just as many people that moved to Canada as moved to the US from Canada. People move for various reasons, but there’s no patterns to it, to my knowledge. It’s a similar process in each country to become a citizen. For highly skilled workers or those with family connections in Canada, the Canadian process is often considered more straightforward. In contrast, the U.S. process can be longer and more restrictive, depending on visa availability and caps. It seems the cost of living in Canada is higher than many places on the border though. Maybe not NYC or Seattle, but places like Detroit are cheaper.
Yes, and there are plenty of Americans who want to move to Canada. IIRC cross-border migration is rougly equal in both directions, but the effects are easier to see in Canada.
