Don’t be fooled a strong Federal government normally means that Provincial one will be fucking awful. Love to all my gays, lesbians and all in between.

Y'all don't seem to be openly planning actual fucking concentration camps, gathering lists of undesirables, or deporting people to places that do (although i think the Safe Third Country policy might count as that eventually) and bragging about the cruelty of it, so it still seems like an improvement over the current direction of the US.

i'm front massachusetts and would love to either go to montreal, bc, or nfl/pei - the goal would be owning a small indie queer bookstore in montreal but i'm also in school to be a teacher <3
well i ultimately want to go to ireland, norway, scotland/shetland (before the uk government became so shit) or denmark since for me it's about the complete culture change to be someone completely different than my pretransition self but i also have two cats and am deathly afraid of flighting and travel so canada is easier :3
-
That's a goal for me :/ i have given up any hope of things getting better here. I no longer believe i can be happy and live in this country. I do not feel safe in any capacity; my own health (mental or physical) can be weaponised against me by my own government, i do not have any trust that medical records will remain confidential.
I don't have any expectation of retirement or home ownership, but if i can get somewhere i can live as myself, have a reasonable life, and not be afraid of my own government, i would be happy.

I know this is a meme but if I were trans, and living in the US, I would 100% do my best to GTFO.
I was legit thinking a few days ago, we (Australia) should invite progressive voting Americans to migrate to Australia and ship our Trumpets over there.

Unfortunately for a lot of us, we can’t even afford passports right now. We just have to stick it out

Been working on it for the past 6 months. Part of the process for applying for Permanent Residence is a background check by the FBI though, and they're really dragging their feet on mine.
-
From my superficial research going there on work/study visa seems easier. Then you can decide whether to return or not later based on how things go. What do you think is the benefit of applying for permanent residency from the beginning? That seems a bit risky for me without knowing the culture and other aspects of living there.

My partner migrated to Australia.
There are multiple steps and the obscene waits at each step were awful.

Isn't Australia basically owned by the US with the amount of military bases and deals the government has there? According to boyboy and thejuicemedia etc anyway.

That's not really my take.
Economically we're much more dependent on our exports to China. Any hickup in that relationship hurts. We also export heaps of grain, livestock, and gas to a variety of destinations.
IDK what we export to the US, other than some beef and bauxite, but it's not much in the grand scheme. We were hit with the 10% Tariffs and our politicians were a bit "meh" about it. We didn't bother with retaliatory tariffs.
Politically we have had a close relationship with the US. Obviously their military assets are huge compared to ours. The US military bases in Australia aren't here for our protection, they're here because the US want's a place from which to project power in our region.
There's a trilateral security treaty called AUKUS between Australia, UK, and US. That's not all one way either - all three nations are making significant contributions for everyone's benefit. There's been some reporting on whether Trump will withdraw from this treaty - it would be disappointing but not a disaster. We're a pretty enough dance partner.

honestly, I'm down

Just waiting for my passport to come in.

Hope everyone find happiness where they can. Knew someone at work that was miserable aura and grouch. Moved elsewhere and it was 180. Like no idea a human could change so much with the location and it was not even a gorgeous location.
-
People say location doesn't matter but it actually does. I'm so happy for your coworker!

Don't count your chickens just yet. That recent ruling by the UK supreme court came under the UK's so called "centre-left" party's watch. Along with their prime minister shamelessly agreeing with it.
These people (politicians) are not to be fucking trusted until they've proven they can be trusted. If left / progressive / liberal governments around the world were actually effective at doing anything other than sitting with their thumbs up their asses and collecting bloated paychecks (and bribes / donations), we wouldn't be seeing this rise of the right wing in the first place.
I would suggest waiting just a little longer to see if these people are actually legit or if they're planning on 'fighting' the right wing by doing exactly what the right wing wants.

I disagree, as an American, if you are Trans and in America, get out. Canada is better, regardless of how things might shake out down the road, the Canadian road looks a lot brighter today than America's.

For me even moving to the US would be an improvement ._.
