Are you Canadian living in the U.S.? Are you considering...

We started making plans in Nov 2016 to leave but we were trying to get most of the kids through HS. I have 2 in college but they are willing to finish school anywhere and DD starts HS in the fall. She’s so sick of this country she’s willing to leave even though our HS is amazing.

DH’s boss is from Israel and rich as sin so he can leave whenever, I don’t think he will but who knows. He could realistically pick up the entire company and move to any country so it would be up the the employees if they want to leave. And most everyone works from home unless they live in DC but with Covid we have proven everyone can work remotely.

I think if trump loses in Nov he will bail and throw in the towel because then NY will fast track charges. I suspect if he sticks around at all, it will be to play golf but I really think he will be on the first plane to Slovakia or where ever the hell Melania is from, he’s gonna run and hide. If McConnell loses too that’s the crap that will get scary. He’s going to destroy as much as he can on the way out the door.
There will be zero transfer of power, thankfully Biden has been here before so he at least has an idea of how things go.
If trump wins and the Dems take over the senate, he’s out. They will find a way to impeach him. Or his hands will be tied and will become the lamest duck president in history.
Now if he wins and the republicans keep the senate, we are screwed. I honestly believe if nothing changes, we will never have another election again.

No. i have dual citizenship. I would just be crossing to Canada to fly back to my home country.

But this is a worst case scenario. I can’t imagine leaving. This is my home now.

I could. But it hasn’t reached a point where I’d seriously consider it yet. I don’t think my husband would much as he loves Australia. He’d see it as abandoning his country, and we should stay and fight, if we want change. I’m not sure I disagree with that.

I might reconsider if he wins a second term.

My parents were both born in Canada.  After they married, they decided to travel to the US on their honeymoon and tie in a visit to Dad’s brother, who had moved to California a few years before.  They loved it.  Of course, California back when they travelled here was a very different state. When they returned to Canada, they started talking about the possibility of moving to the states like my uncle did.  They eventually made the decision to move after a particularly harsh winter.  Mom was newly pregnant with my older sister and they had no jobs waiting for them and not a lot of money saved up either.  They moved in with my uncle until Dad found a job and they could afford their own apartment.  They never moved back to Canada.  

And for some reason, they did not maintain dual citizenship.  Dad’s sister made the move a couple of years after my parents did, and Dad’s parents a few years after that.  This left Dad’s other 6 brothers living in Canada.  None of Mom’s family chose to move here.  I so wish they had maintained their Canadian citizenship, if that was an option, and done whatever was necessary to register us kids for both countries as well.  We went to Canada every year to visit, but I sure with I had the option to live there.

At this point in my life, yeah, I would definitely look into moving there.  I have cousins in just about every providence to help educate me so I could decide where to move to.  And now, the only original family that still lives in California is my two sisters and their children and I don’t see any of them since Mom died.  All the rest of the family remained in Canada. The one uncle that first moved here had one son, born in California.  When the son grew up, he and his wife moved to Canada, just the opposite of what his parents had done. 

So yeah, I would absolutely consider moving to Canada.  I loved every single visit we took to the various provinces throughout my childhood.

I live in California. As long as we have a democratic governor I feel like we are safe. I saw hate in another post about Newsom, but I actually like him and think he's doing a great job. If he ran for president I'd vote for him. I also really liked Jerry Brown.

That is where we are with it.  Politics come and go.  We are not moving when he may or may not be re elected and even that would only be 4 years.  We can ride it out.

Well it's not likely to get better if we all run off. Not everyone has the luxury of just running away when things get tough. I think about all those people and wonder what it must have felt like during the Civil War. Like, will things ever get better? Slowly slowly slowly we have. We need to do better but how does that happen if we turn and leave?

Anyway if I was going to move to a neighboring country I think I'd prefer Mexico, drug lords aside, because of the weather and the culture and the food and the over-the-top Catholic kitsch that I love so much. Maybe my infantile Spanish would improve. Fiesta!

From 1947 and 1977 you automatically lost your Canadian citizenship if you acquired citizenship in another country.

A friend fell into this category and all her children born after the rule changes have dual US/CDN citizenship. 

I'm 99% sure that if Trump wins another term we will move out of the US next summer. Dh's company has offices all over the world and in theory, it shouldn't be too hard to transfer. California is home, both sets of grandparents are here, we were both born and raised here.

Can't even compare Canadian politics/politicians to what Trump is doing. What is happening in the USA authoritarianism on the rise. 

Dr Henry is the provincial health officer... Adrian Dix is the Health Minister. She's awesome, a non partisan, unelected bureaucrat. Basically the BC equivalent to Dr. Fauci; the only difference being the Premier & the Minister of Health actually follow her instructions.
