Canada mulling ‘game plan’ if U.S. takes far-right, authoritarian shift, Joly says
Ottawa’s close political and economic ties to the U.S. means ‘we must certainly prepare several scenarios’ if it takes a far-right shift, Joly says
Can that game plan involve letting me and my family relocate to Canada? Please?
Me too! I'll even take back everything bad thing I've said about the Leafs.
Sure, I might have said at one point that Bachman-Turner Overdrive were “overrated,” but it was a joke!
Canada requires you to have a plan that makes you an asset to Canada (fair enough). Certain occupations in certain provinces are in need. Having a plan to start or invest in a business and hard proof that you have the capital to do so ($2M USD) is also a possibility. Having family in Canada and already having a written job offer or business plan helps. There is also the matter of the medical clearance and demonstration of proficiency in both English and French.
FWIW, Canada does not have a retiree visa, but many countries do.
France, Costa Rica, New Zealand look mighty good. Uruguay if you are looking for no entry visa requirement, no retirement visa income requirements, duty-free on your car and the ability to buy real estate as a non-citizen. Apartment with ocean views in Punta?
Actually, you know what, we'll just liberate you.
Dear Canada. If we go to hell, please help us. Most of us are sorry.
I wouldn't bet on Canada fwholesale embracing US nationals fleeing a fascist government as refugees. They've taken on plenty of war refugees, but IIRC they cherry pick the ones with needed skills.

Pretty sure Canada would be right behind em from what I've seen.
Spoilers: It's all guerilla warfare by hiding in the forests like the Vietnamese but in the snow. Even through Iraq America has a really hard time consistently fighting asymmetrical attacks on a small scale - at best it would be a stick-and-move insurgency campaign that commits the US to an annoying war of attrition. There's no overcoming or overwhelming the superiority so there's just trying to inflict a thousand cuts.

Nah we good. Trump had his shot at a coup. It was a neat thing but it didn't happen. We just need to not allow the right to pivot and normalize, ir to try and rehabilitate the republican party in any way. If we can get through 2 more four years election cycles, there may not be a Republican party left.
The real trick is going to be to convince Twitter activists and leftists to run for dog catcher.
Lol you are farrrr too optimistic. I have some bad news to tell you.
If you really believe that let's put a bet down. I'm confident enough in my analyses that I would be willing to back it up beyond just words.
I know it's cool to be edgy and scared of the right. And don't get me wrong in that I truly am not underestimating them ( in my belief). I recognize the dire threat they represent. But this isn't my first election cycle and I firmly believe I have the right of it, such that I'm willing to make a called shot on 2024 and 2028. If you or anyone else wants to take me up on this, I can spell out my 2024 predictions more clearly, and we can wager on them.
