I’ll beat this drum again: I would fully support a program where we exchange equal numbers of MAGA loyalists in Canada for trained doctors, engineers, and tradespeople looking to escape fascism.
The Americans have already shown interest in this with their idea of importing white South Africans. Is this an impossible idea?
Europe could also send over our USA-lovers to MAGA-land. I like the way you think.
Yeah just put them all in a big dystopian hellhole, its basically what they want so you're actually making them happy by doing it. They can worship billionaires while complaining about not having any social benefits and experience hardships like a bunch of repressed peasants.
And using a fishnet boat.
That’s the perfect meme, because I do feel guilty about how this fucks over my friends and family in the US. But as they don’t seem motivated to fix their own country, I feel like this may be a good way to at least help some people
scientists are smart enough to escape first, no such luck for MS, AND BS of stem though, as were not "valuable" in for-profit stem industry.
We've got a bunch of cookers in Australia we need to dump too.
Make it crokadil and you have a deal.
I've pointed out before that most of the MAGA-land folks in Canada likely currently don't have a viable path to immigrate to the USA, see https://lemmy.ca/post/41215108/15425311 and https://lemmy.ca/post/41215108/15458003
But that doesn't mean we can't make one for them!
I imagine we could easily negotiate something like the Trans-Tasman Travel Arrangement, but between Canada and the USA - but with the additional condition that MAGA is a disqualifying condition for coming to Canada.
Like the TTTA, we should also allow the green card holders in.
Yeah likely would need to create a special system of refugee status or similar. Maybe around the concept of escaping “woke-ism”?
We don’t want US people seceding to Canada. Enough of their individualistic, manifest destiny, American exceptionalism poison mindset. I don’t want any more of that ideology to infect Canada any more than it already has.
As a Texan, as much as I want to be a Canadian, I would not wish my asshole neighbors on my friends to the north.
Everything is bigger in Texas, but especially the bigotry. Hope you’re doing well.
As a Texan, you should push for Texas to break into 5 additional states.
That's where I'm at I think. The ultimate sacrifice.
I mean, we'd be okay with taking Austin. We're already familiar with their City Limits.
The US people wishing one thing and their stupid government doing exactly the opposite. Name a more iconic duo!
Whatever it takes for USians to get healthcare. No country is as barbaric towards its own citizens as the Unites States.
Well, maybe North Korea.
Hey, stop insulting North Korea like that, at least Kim isn't a complete dumbass with fake tan.
Mmmmm. Have Canadians considered that these USAians might try to enter their country?
They may need to look at ways to prevent this, idk, maybe like building a wall? Or tariffs. Tariffs work for everything, though I don't really know what they are and can only spell it because of autocorrect.
This just in: 1 in 5 Americans deported to Salvadoran prisons, selection is random
It might be only 20%, but compared to the proportion of Canadians willing to become part of the US being 13%, I find this rather hilarious.
I'd love to see this broken down by state.
