For the Canada lovers. Answer just one simple question:
Why is it, there are so many Canadian's living in the United States? They are lined up at the immigration offices. You don't have American's lined up at the Canadian Immigration offices.
So, if Canada is so great, why are there so many Canadian's living and working here?
Canadian immigration laws are stricter than US immigration laws, and they're enforced, too.
But they are are still in America and they are plagued with the same issues as the rest of the country. Minnesota is the closest one in terms of similarity but its infrastructure is crumbling like the rest of America... remember the collapsed bridge? Maybe this is what you get when you spend all your money on "defense".
Many Canadians identify with adjacent regions of the US more than they identify with other parts of Canada. For example, Vancouver residents will identify with Seattle more than they'll identify with Toronto (and definitely more than they'll identify with Montreal!) Residents of Alberta feel more in common with residents of Montana than with residents of the Maritimes for example. Likewise for Ontario and the Midwestern US.
Likewise, Seattle residents feel they have more in common with BC residents than they have in common with people from the Southern US. If a way, if the Confederacy had survived the Civil War, the remaining USA would probably resemble Canada. But that's another issue.
the climate scares people from moving there. That's why they don't have an illegal alien problem.
Not me. Get me Landed Residence and I'd be a happy camper even in the dead of Winter. Unfortunately for me, I know it can't be done. I'm too old and not wealthy enough to meet the requirements. What would be the point of being illegal in Canada anyway? Illegals there don't get all the freebies like in the US.
Dear lovers of Canada, Norway, Australia, Sweden, etc... if you so strongly dislike the United States and think all of these other countries are better, why don't you just MOVE to these countries you're so deeply in love with? Okay? Our country would be A LOT better off without you haters. Thank you.
Sincerely, 90sman.
What makes you think any of those countries would take Americans, and why should they? It's not as easy as many think.
When Europe shipped off all of the religious crazies back in the day, then sent them to the US and not Canada. That's the root cause of basically everything that's wrong in this country.
Canada has the highest per capita net immigration rate in the world. Its not hard to move there, are you going to do it or just post on city data how much you want to move there and how bad the US is?
Since you claim this, tell me how to do it. I'm 67, a US citizen and want to live in Canada legally. You say it's easy, so how do I proceed? I'll be retired so I have no skills to market. I'm not wealthy, so I can't pony up the big bucks like the rich Chinese immigrants do. Is Canada waiting for me with open arms?
Americans will be fleeing to Canada in droves as the US empire declines. I want to make my move now before the great rush for the border. We are only one Republican administration away from destruction.
Canada won't let them in. They are not stupid.
