I got so much shit from the Canadian reddit for saying that people are literally going to flee for their lives across the border.
That was back in November. Who's right now?
Anybody who can leave the Untied States at this point, should
I thought he was already in Canada when he made the Rick Mercer Report.
When you know you are on the enemies list and they start rounding up the others at the top, it's time to leave
seems he didn't wanna study it that closely
Who would?
many, many millions of people, going by the election results.
That’s all fine or whatever. But fuck you U of T for finding the money for lifelong positions these people whereas U of T would have never created the same positions for Canadian scholars. Same thing happened back in the day of the Vietnam War and the Kent State shooting - all my profs when I did my undergrad were draft dodgers from Vietnam and/or left the US after they shot and killed students at Kent State. Now today we’re getting even more US ideology infiltrating our country because the US voted in a fascist.
Canary in the coal mine.
The Carney in the coal mine.
I'll show myself out.
Bring guns.
It is almost as if they have seen this movie and the several remakes before.
I read his 2018 book prior to the current Trump presidency. Good for Dr. Stanley...
... but yeah, a world expert on fascism research, and also a US citizen, getting the heck out certainly doesn't look great. I guess scientists tend to be subtle when facing media, but the last quote by him makes it pretty obvious what he's thinking
“When I saw Columbia completely capitulate, and I saw this vocabulary of, well, we’re going to work behind the scenes because we’re not going to get targeted – that whole way of thinking pre-supposes that some universities will get targeted, and you don’t want to be one of those universities, and that’s just a losing strategy,” he said.
Stanley added: “You’ve got to just band together and say an attack on one university is an attack on all universities. And maybe you lose that fight, but you’re certainly going to lose this one if you give up before you fight.

We actually should start working on a solution to house the massive amount of migrants that's will soon be arriving here.... No joke. And it wouldn't be bad for us but only if we plan accordingly and plan it to be sustainable and long lasting
Yes, Canada and other countries need to be anticipating large numbers of refugees from the USA. And it's just one more reason why Canada really needs to sort out its housing situation.
Based on the research I've done about migrating to Canada, this is already done. There is a whole process to get approved including a labor impact assessment. You can just show up to Canada and get a job and start using public resources without a ton of paperwork and approval process.
I guess if Canada has to start accepting refugees then that may be different.
If you're a US (or Mexican) citizen you don't even need LMIA, you might be eligible under NAFTA.
But I work in tech, and when I did this, I found it quite challenging to find an employer who would be willing to do this. Usually the employer needs an immigration lawyer and has to be set up with IRCC (i.e. the Canadian gov't) to do this. An LMIA - if you need one - would be even more paperwork for them.
When I immigrated to Canada the process was rather arduous, and the categories under which you could immigrate were quite restricted. It depends on your skills, your age, your finances, your family (if any) in Canada, which employment categories Canada is prioritizing, and so on. There's information here for anyone considering it:
https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada.html
And a questionnaire to find out whether you're eligible to apply to immigrate to Canada:
Also, for Express Entry the age limit is 55. Not sure what PR pathways exist for those older.
Though, while not permanent, theoretically you can just keep renewing a work permit under NAFTA. There's no age limit to the permit, so as long as you're able to work (and you have a qualifying employer and meet other requirements) you should be able to do this to stay in Canada indefinitely.
Step 1: draft them
Step 2: prepare for the invasion
I've honestly had this thought, 4 years of military / civil service and you get citizenship to Canada.
