It’s not just about the trade war. Nearly half of America’s neighbors to the north now think the U.S. is a bigger threat to world peace than Russia.

    How willing is CA to take US refugees if they’re willing to swear allegiance to CA?

    I can think of a few people I know in the US who would love to emigrate to Canada to escape the political spiral wrought by this administration, but it seems like Canada isn’t all that willing to make it easy for them.

      The chances of an American making a successful refugee claim in Canada are vanishingly small. Things would have to get a lot worse in the US for this to be a realistic outcome.

      However, Americans can apply for permanent residency in Canada, just like anyone else. There is a points system. You’re more likely to be accepted if you’re young, you have an advanced degree, you speak both French and English, etc.
