when they screamed about illegal immigrants they said nothing about the wealthy that employed them
when they screamed about medicare fraud they said
nothing about the doctors and hospitals that got wealthy
from it and now, it will be the working poor left to deal
with the decimation of it all
I cannot leave. I have several handicapped friends I help. One in particular is going to have life become a whole lot worse for himself. I would move him but no country as far as I know allows disabled people who are not wealthy.
I wish more people understood this. They are trapped along with the people who love them. They are in for a world of hurt. You are such a good person to help.
No country wants poor people emigrating. Either you have skills, money, connections, or family to do it with.
Unless you have one of those four (and the more, the better) you're trapped in hell called the US.
I know. A friend of mine is fighting cancer. Experimental therapy. I don't know how he'll do it now that his insurance and disability will be cut. (I won't tell him that. I don't have the nerve or heart.)
this fucking sucks so hard.
I'll be here fighting the fight too.
FUCK TRUMP.
My friend has been in and out of the ICU now twice with over 5 weeks away from his home. He is getting the care he needs, remaining independent with help from the entire neighborhood.
But...when the money dries up...he cannot live. He requires expensive medication which cannot be stopped.
I do not roll my eyes, I am an old cold war vet, I see it as outyright cowardice, lacking all honor. America had their back all their lives, enough so that they can afford to "emigrate", and now when America needs them they flee to protect their monies and themselves? Greedy cowads, like Trump
Indeed. And like Hurricane Katrina, the poor and under-resourced (“basement-dwellers") are left behind — myself included. But WTF - this is my country. Why should I be forced to leave?
I'm sure there are plenty of us overseas who, even if one person-at-a-time, would do what we could to help you exit. We get it. You don't have to be rich to escape.
Canada will help by sending all of our Maple MAGAts your way to replace those Americans who get out. Maple MAGAt talents include organizing freedumb convoys, being able to answer "Trudeau" to just about any question and the ability to drink beer while holding a lit cigarette in their mouth.
Tbh, I’m delighted there is a market for America’s top scientists overseas. The sane west can’t afford to lose this resource. I’d rather it was preserved here, but no chance now. The world needs this reservoir of talent.
If one was going to game out the 'best' way to intentionally tank our economy & surrender the world to China, they be doing exactly what Hair Furor FatFuck and KetamineCuntFuror Sissy Space X are doing.
Honestly, I am asking myself how I can stay here and share this country with the people supporting this right now. Ever. Even if this all ended right now.
That's right. There are still a few fools who have been brainwashed otherwise. And your minimum wages aren't as high and with fewer benefits thanks to those taxes.
I wish. I don't have the resources to leave. If I did, I would have already. Its not that I don't care about my country--I do. I just don't feel like my country cares about any of the people who live here unless we have a whole lot of $$ in the bank.
Another reason, I believe, to take a stand now. Whether it's Project 2025 or something else, their "plans" need to be pushed back on and stopped where possible.
I don't have "talent," but my friends and I a year ago jokingly talked about where we'd go if it hit the fan, and two of the 6 of us actually made concrete plans: One France, the other UK. They had the capital to make that happen, the rest of us did not. I hope people stand up and demand change fast
Why would anyone of talent and integrity, if they had other options open to them, want to live in kitchen blender that is now US society?
Unstable, violent, with oases of privilege in vast deserts of deprivation?
Canada is actively recruiting scientists, medical researchers & healthcare professionals.
Got EU citizenship thru my grandfather during BUSH 1. My adult children can get it because I had it b4 they were born even though it’s been 100 years since grandpa left 🍀
Takes a yr, maybe longer now.
Austin & Houston are the blue dots. 👍🏼
Go for it.
Quebec is serious about people speaking French. It’s technically the only official language.
The middle & East are cold.
Vancouver is great but expensive due to Chinese immigration for the last 30 years.
Americans get a 6 month stay so if you WFM…
I failed French in high school and college so... I was looking at western Canada - maybe Vancouver or Victoria. I've been to beautiful Quebec and the people were very friendly and tolerated my atempts to speak French. At this point, I'd be happy anywhere in Canada.
I speak French! I would have to have some time to build to full fluency but I’m conversationally solid. I will spend some time this weekend looking around some job sites. Thank you!
Wrt to "official language", true but day-to-day folks, esp. in metro areas are much more understanding that more rural areas N of the St-Lawrence or East of Quebec City.
Without attitude = without problems.
Not in good taste at all : https://www.tetesaclaques.tv/accueil
Yeah, that surprised me too.
I'm guess that almost any flavour of Eng will get at least a good once over.
Entrée : poutine (fries & gravy but with a gazillion variations)
Main course : Parliamentary Democracy
Desert : Peace and Prosperity.
Beverages : some good beer, micros & CA wines welcome too.
if I were young I'd do everything I could to get out of here. when I was young I lived in Austria, China, then Mexico but not out of a desire to leave US but to experience other cultures, now it is sheer desire to get out of here. If I never married and had kids I'd still be in Oaxaca.
Australia allows dual citizenship but if you then decide to just be Australian, the USA will not allow you to drop US citizenship without intrusive embassy interviews & large payments. I assume the same goes globally. Your last interaction with the States may be them building your Intel profile.
Which isn't many. Also, they must be wealthy because they are running away from Trump, as if he won't follow them. Finally, many are going to be disappointed when they find out they are too old, not wealthy enough, too sick, no skills, etc. Other countries don't accept everyone, either.
As soon as the felon was elected, I applied for citizenship in Canada. Received notice yesterday. Only took a month so that was pretty quick. I was already a citizen-parents born there. I just needed my citizen certificate, but had to go through the application process as I’ve never lived there.
Lots of countries would gladly accept the talented workers Trump and Musk fire. Thoug these workers should especially consider emigrating to Canada. Canada is a way better country. Canadians are happier too. Go team Canada. CANADA 🇨🇦 🍁 🇨🇦
Mmm, yes. The billionaires answer to everything.
How many generations of men have fallen for their death being the only solution to the greedies needs?
And then let them take over the gigantic money pit that is the USAs military, for pure evil?
I have a friend who works for a local research hospital, and she has told me several of their doctors have decided to return to their country of origin.
After living overseas for ten years, three years ago I knew Americas values were no longer aligned with my values, and I bought a house in Europe. I had a feeling things were going in the wrong direction, but never to this degree…my wife and I are out.
Yes, Canada is preparing to welcome women doctors and nurses with open arms.
There is already a portal where they can get advice and apply.
We would be so happy to have them here.
Secession and a reconfiguration of the nation has never sounded better.
Our side can have truth, justice, kindness, transparency, reality, beauty, etc…
They can have the cesspool they so desire.
I know which side will fare better in ALL metrics that are meaningful.
I like the succession idea. Somehow, I don't think trump really wants to keep the blue states. Unless someone explains to him, that's where the money comes from to keep the red states going.
Not pictured on this map is the half-block of blue right here northwest of Atlanta. I may rename this little corner of the 'hood the Free City of Fxxx Trump.
I’d guess a Canadian made it and since I couldn’t begin to name all the CA Provinces and their capitals off the top of my head I’m gonna 🤐 on my judgement.
I can get 🇱🇻 citizenship, as the child of a WW2 exile, but unfortunately, RUSSIA. Everyfuckingwhere BOTH sides of my family goes, those motherfuckers are there!! 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
It's a little too late for me. But I do have a little vacation place in Canada, and I will spend 6 months of the year there if Canada will still let me in. I will also spend all my discretionary money there and buy Canadian products. I am not spending another dime in the US that I don't have to.
I would come, I have a passport & I’m a registered nurse (operating room nurse) with extensive experience in trauma surgery. I can scrub & circulate almost anything!
Canada is actually recruiting people in the medical field. You should look into it. You’ll be required to choose from one of several areas to be located to, but it gets you in the door quickly.
I'm working on convincing my wife of moving to British Columbia; at the very least hang out for six months at a time drive or fly to Seattle for the weekend and fly back for 6 more months of better living.
My family is in the process of emigrating to Portugal, we're both in our 40s with college degrees (engineering & legal), we have 5yr old twins, we don't plan on returning other than occasional family visits.
Well let me just say George that many years ago there was a team David and a team Goliath and we’re in a wwf arena. David landed a tko punch and the crowd went crazy. So team David made a shit load of money and lots of high fives and bum pats and team Goliath went home saying the fight was rigged.
In FL it started a while ago. Especially medical professionals and teachers. DeSantis even tried to give teaching jobs to unqualified military veterans. That flopped. To get a good family Doctor folks are turning to Concierge practices.
MAGAts like to crow about the US exceptionalism/freedom, but I like to point out that even in the Heritage Foundation/Fraser Institute's "Human Freedom Index" the US consistently falls between 10-20 – and Canada usually scores higher. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Also, here to point out that NO ONE is fighting!!
Elected Dems are hoping to "turn things around" in the midterms. There are not going to be midterms!!
After the 2016 election, I became a precinct chairperson for the Dems. Phone banking, door knocking, petition signing, etc. Donated a lot of $. Improved my videography and started making TV ads for Dem candidates.
I *have* fought. But this party as a whole isn't up for the battle.
George, I’m on the way out with my family as well. If I could get money together, I’d already be gone. Unfortunately, this country sucks so hard right now that saving money at all is nearly impossible. If I had like $100k available, I’d already be in another country.
I'm staying for the fight
Fighting for our democratic republic.
Can't fault those that are afraid and want to leave.
But our forefathers never did cut and run.
Oh for sure if I was a scientist I would already have one foot out the door of this country. Personally, as a health care worker I'm currently exploring options too.
The United States is giving up its world influence.
You clearly haven't bought or sold a house recently.
You don't know anything about moving with pets. Being adjacent to people who compete internationally with their dogs, it's a lot easier than you think.
😂🤣😆😆😂🤣😆😂😆🤣😂🤣….. oh boy. If you don’t think people will happily leave the US if given the opportunity you think more of the US than you should. It’s NOT the greatest place to live. Oh & Europe will rise to the occasion & leave the US in the dust.
I am an OBGYN married to an ophthalmologist. Medicaid covers 42% of all deliveries while Medicare covers injections, cataracts surgery and a large majority of his patient services.
My work has already been profoundly affected by the overturning of Roe v Wade.
We need you! And there’s new facilities being built across the country. Pretty sure as an OBGYN you’d have your pick of provinces to choose from. I’m in eastern Canada (NS) and we sure could use both you and hubby.
Review any article about materno-fetal morbidity and mortality in states with heartbeat bans for details. If the cuts to Medicaid go thru it will profoundly impact L&D units.
It will further limit what services I can provide at which locations and to whom. Woman and children will not get the care they need and it will result in worse outcomes because they will only come to the hospital when they are dying.
My patients are going to die. I will continue to do what I can to care for them. But I cannot just stand back and watch pregnant women and children die. I’ll move to a country that is actually invested in the lives of its citizens and their future.
Kellyanne Conway didn’t do it for conservatives. She did it for her ego and for money. You really think she believes most of the shit that comes out of her mouth?
Boy voyage. Hope you get there in time to help toss Ford to the curb! I'll be skiing in Kenora tomorrow, then hanging in Winnipeg for the weekend. Vive le Canada!!!
No health issues, was a contractor now retired. D7 Visa (contractors & retirees) or D8 nomad visa, then you apply for a 2 yr residency permit. Took about 5 months to get. You also have to secure a rental lease, and you can get a travel health policy.
As a Canadian I am getting worried part of that "economic pressure" will be caravans of immigrants that are running in fear of the felon
Anyone planning to come to Canada that has skills should start the process soon j/s
It best happen soon, or it won't be without a lot of bloodshed. Gen Millie would have assembled the generals in and around the Oval Office by now. That's why he's gone.
Well at least some Americans will survive this mess. More power to them. Before this is over, there will be millions of us with nowhere to go. The world cannot accept all of us. We will need to say and fight, die or submit, which may be the same as dying.
If I was younger, I'd definitely be joining the exodus of Americans searching greener pastures abroad. I never thought I'd be saying that but hen again when I was proudly wearing our country's uniform 60 years ago I never could have imagined a treasonous, fascist prick like Trump as our president!
That’s funny, because I’ll be 60 this year, and leaving in June. I feel if I was younger I’d stay and fight, but I don’t have it in me at this age. Been there done that 2016-2020.
A lot of folks don't qualify for any emigration options - too poor, too old, too disabled, etc, and they're the ones who will be most screwed by Trump's regime.
Not true. It's pretty easy to retire or remote work, well, a lot of places. Easier if you have money, but even if not, Mexico, Colombia, Panama, many other places are easily accessible.
My 60 YO friends got their temporary residency in Mexico. It only is a 5 year residency and after that they will have permanent residency. The process was easy . They bought a home in San Miguel de Allende in January but will use it as a vacation home until last kid is out of college in 3 years.
And unfortunately the old because we are not wanted as we are unproductive. And the poor who can't afford to buy food more less travel somewhere and start over. So we will fight for what's left of our country!
Correction: "Wealthy" Americans are headed for the exits. The majority of Americans are living paycheck-to-paycheck and struggling to make ends meet. Absconding to another country is simply not possible for them.
Blue states need to head for the exits instead.
Then all the people can stay where they are (or go to a blue state) and live in a better version of the US where right wingers don't have as much power or influence.
Well he gave the country cancer so reasonable people need to cut it out.
As the non-maga part of the country recovers from getting rid of the maga states cancer it might be difficult but they will end up becoming healthier & stronger.
And many maga state will probably come crawling back eventually.
This is assuming an easily divvied up map, which it isn’t. There are blue states among red, blue voters among red also. And many, many disenfranchised voters who will be thrown under the bus. What of them?
If they really like MAGA they can move to Alabama. But more likely the right leaning folks in blue states will enjoy complaining about their leaders but be perfectly happy with all of their "lib entitlements".
Dems in blue states need to try to convince their neighbors to dump their shitty leaders.
And to be clear it was non-voters and trump voters who threw us ALL under the bus in November.
The folks that can get out from under it need to do so and once they do they can try to help everyone else out from under it.
For search results just put in a province. Unless you speak French, don't bother with Quebec and probably New Brunswick. BC and Ontario are good places to start....
Thank you. Bet it’s pretty easy over there the selection of products is great. And why would you visit the states when you have so many places to see there. I’m jealous!
Go on line there’s a really quick recipe… no baking just melt some of that amazing chocolate you have there. If it’s got anything but peanut butter and icing sugar it’s the wrong one. So peanut butter, icing sugar, chocolate. That’s why it’s so good.
The mega rich will stay because they're creating a dream situation for themselves. The people leaving will be wealthy enough to go but not wealthy enough to stay.
Trump and Musk are handing Canada, the EU and other democracies a golden opportunity to recruit America's best and brightest who don't want to live under an oppressive, authoritarian regime.
This shows how the GOP is poison to the US ... American healthcare has been struggling for decades and the right wing made it worse by attacking healthcare workers during the pandemic. With any exodus of the workers still left, the health system will eventually collapse. And the US will deserve it.
I hope my credits would transfer. I'm so close to being done! I've taken twice as long because I refuse to get fleeced again with student loans and only pay cash.
If I didn’t have a kid in a good school, in California, I’d be packing my family’s bags for the UK. If things get worse — and I fully expect they will — I may still have to disrupt my daughter’s education and bug the **** out.
I was granted citizenship by descent (in an EU country) in June of 2024 after a two year process. It’s nice to have a plan B however, I worry we will be pariahs on the world stage (or at least in the EU). I’ve been fighting my heart out to save our democracy but at this point I feel such despair.
That's not true. I go across the border all the time. Canadians feel sorry for us. The cashier at Timmy's gave me a free coffee when I paid in USD. She said, "we got it, save your money, you're gonna need it," lol
Spoiler alert: the *Golden* Age of America will be soft, hollow, & tarnished. We won't be taking a lot of talent w/ us but when we go - & we are working on it now - we will be taking our $$ w/ us.
None of the Trump children should be allowed to evict the US. Idiots like Candace Owens and Trump jr. are already banned from New Zealand and Australia.
Errr. No. Loud mouth opinionated exceptional Americans should stay in their self declared greatest ever country and suffer it out.
Just because they allowed their country to become the very shithole they were raised to fear doesn't mean that they can bail out and do it to ours.
I'd love to move to NZ but the exchange rate of US $ does not make it a good choice, and I've read your economy is suffering from unemployment...so no jobs? Is this true? Or is it propaganda? Hard to tell in US now. Series ?'s not being mean😊
We’ve talked about Canada and the UK as my wife has relatives in the UK. My great grandparents were born in Cork, Ireland but I think that’s too far back.
My children have EU passports. Older child is staying in Europe—landed a job in his field (cyber security). Younger child is in a 5-year engineering program in Dublin and plans to stay. Hubs and I will join them sooner than we had planned. They may well not come back.
Many non-native speakers can slow the pace of instruction for fluent students. Teachers often have to adjust lessons, repeat material, or spend extra time on foundational language skills, which can limit how quickly advanced students progress.
Trump is systematically destroying US industries. I am commenting on this post from a plane to Australia where we hope to find work for our US scientists.
You added it at the end, what I had been thinking. It seems 50% of ‘American’ Nobel Laureates are foreign born and enticed to America because of generous grants and great research facilities. This will end along, American scientists moving abroad to be able to research science without intimidation.
I made preparations to leave during his first term, just in case. Even though I have EU citizenship and a passport now, it still takes a lot of planning. Start planning yesterday, people! And please take your pets. ❤️ This has been a public service announcement.
Definitely start preparing now if you want to move this year or early next year. Gather ALL documents.. birth, marriage, divorce, etc. And depending on the country it can be as hard or harder to get the pets there. Really just time consuming & precision on paperwork/timing.
Yes, my older dog passed & I knew I’d be moving overseas so I didn’t get a pittie. There’s a ban here. This island doesn’t have rabies so it made it very challenging…& it was during Covid & there was a supply chain shortage on the rabies tests & each pet needed 3 timed precisely. We made it tho!
I wasn’t going to move to Ireland because of the new ban, but I applied for the exemption hours before the deadline. Still need to muzzle them in public, but I was nervous about being turned away at the airport upon arrival.
That’s amazing! I was nervous about arrival at the airport here too bcs it was very bureaucratic & they have the right to put your pet back in the next flight to the US if your paperwork isn’t precise. OR euthanize the pet. AND we did quarantine at home. I wasn’t leaving without them😉
Comments
when they screamed about medicare fraud they said
nothing about the doctors and hospitals that got wealthy

I agree they suffer now but the world of hurt, nightmare & MAGA cuts is just beginning.
But let's reiterate this:
No country wants poor people emigrating. Either you have skills, money, connections, or family to do it with.
Unless you have one of those four (and the more, the better) you're trapped in hell called the US.
Reality sucks. Hard.
My handicapped friend doesn't have a happy ending in trump's world. He will not be alone. So many will be hurt.
Very sad but its the Nazi way.
this fucking sucks so hard.
I'll be here fighting the fight too.
FUCK TRUMP.
But...when the money dries up...he cannot live. He requires expensive medication which cannot be stopped.
Question is: where to go?
The World Order is changing.
so many friends to visit now in so many different lands.

And do not complain about our taxes. They fund our wonderful social programs.

My bf is a Chemical Engineer and I'm in sales. Does that mean we have a chance?
Go for it.

Those of you still there had better wake up.
Fighting for our democratic republic.
Can't fault those that are afraid and want to leave.
But our forefathers never did cut and run.
We could use them.
America under Trump majors in betrayal. 🤷♂️
It’s a tragedy
But if it happens I hope they come to the UK
They’ll sell their houses at a loss.
Their dogs and cats will sit in quarantine
They will lose their jobs.
They will spend a fortune on the move.
Net net: Trumpism will still reach you.
You clearly haven't bought or sold a house recently.
You don't know anything about moving with pets. Being adjacent to people who compete internationally with their dogs, it's a lot easier than you think.
My work has already been profoundly affected by the overturning of Roe v Wade.
Conservative GOP got us here.
Not the Libs, or trans people or gays or Satan.
George Conway, your x-wife and conservatism and the GOP got us to where people are running away from the USA!
Kellyanne Conway believes her lies work.
That is the definition of a true believing Conservative Republican.
So, yes, I believe she believes that shit tat comes out of her mouth is the right thing to say.
Anyone planning to come to Canada that has skills should start the process soon j/s
Nobody needs a crystal ball to see that very,very bad things are going to happen in America.

I recommend New Zealand or Australia. Until China & N Korea.
Never came back during his last term either, couldn’t stand to see his photo in the airport.
Also now boycotting American products.
but can live without 😁
Or a nuclear waste dump
Hopefully sanity will win out soon
JD Vance has no charisma. He can’t carry on Trumpism
Midterm elections are in 18 months
I’d rather start over in the EU and risk war with Russia than stay here.
My wife and I are educated, if any EU nations need a lawyer and nurse - let us know.
Bonus points for using “snowball’s chance in Hell”!
2. MAGAts need not apply, see point 1
Europe is anyway bigger and has more talent and potential than the USA or Russia
When the European leaders would feel a sense of urgency the EU would be fast the upmost superpower 🤷🏻♀️
Is that ok?
Just because they allowed their country to become the very shithole they were raised to fear doesn't mean that they can bail out and do it to ours.
And not to call myself talented, but a couple of degrees and a bar examination suggest I know how to at least read, write, and do math.
For example, I know that 17 + 17 = 17 x 2 = 68 / 2 = 34. Like the number of convictions our #FirstFelon has.
