[Sparwood Dave]

In case the election has you thinking of moving to the Great White North.

I looked it up a while back--you either have to have a skill they want or loan the province you move to 500K for 5 years interest free (or something like that). Or I suppose you could request political asylum.

"A skill they want."

Right now we'll take just about anybody. Especially TGR dentists!

And if you leave the country for work, the IRS may still collect federal income tax off of your earnings on top of what your new host country takes, unless you renounce your US citizenship, of course.

Dammit, my only chance to save myself and I'm fucked because it's only for iphone.

[XXX-er]

Yeah I think it's easier if you come here from a Commonwealth country like Britain Auz or NZ there have been a couple of auzy bartenders up at the ski hill who have married their way Into Canada

[carpathian]

A few years back you could make up to $82k as an American working in Canada and the IRS did not take any of it.

[Viva]

Well, yeah, but only the deplorables make less than $82,000 CAN

[garyfromterrace]

I could probably adopt a couple of ya.
18yr old twin females preferably.
Oh shit, was that my outside voice.

Just what we need. More US 'liberals' to bolster the ranks of Canadian conservatives
And remember, you US election refugees that are troubled by the election of your president, unless you directly participate as a member of parliament, you don't get to elect our leader here AND you have to swear allegiance to a monarch!

[dtown]

^^^don't worry, they don't have the stones to actually pull the trigger and move, just talk about it

[BCMtnHound]

I dunno. Being raised in southern BC, we are pretty used to southern refugees. I married the daughter of one. Nelson even has a statue in recognition of that last exodus. And they all trend to vote centre or to the right (might be that confusion when Prov and Fed parties call themselves 'Liberals'). Makes for fun conversations with the FIL.

Noticed that when I lived in Nelson. The draft dodgers an their offspring were by and large right wing(ish) types whining about immigrants and such. Seemed weird to me.

Was thinking less about regular people and the Complaining celebrities
