Dawg, from one canuk to another, I hate America just as much as you do (probably more) but all the same there are good and bad people that live there. The people fleeing The Burger Reich for their own safety are likely the best among them. We should welcome them with open arms.
Fellow canuck seconding this. We did it before, when we took in Vietnam war draft dodgers and similar conscientious objectors. It was a win-win for everyone involved. Let's do it again.
Allegedly this is what really got BC’s marijuana growing industry off the ground. A lot of the draft dodgers were massive hippies / potheads lol.
So yeah, we definitely benefited from that 😅
