As an MD yes. My engineer child- yes. But I also don’t want to surrender or leave behind people that will need help.

I have already left the US. While Sweden is not perfect, I don’t have to worry about vindictive billionaires gutting research funding on a whim.

The thought has crossed my mind.

Canada needs MD's! We will gladly take Doctors from the U.S.A. However, the following is manditory for becoming a Canadian citizen.
1. Usage the term "Y'all" is forbidden.
2. You have to love (or learn to love) The Tragically Hip
3. Poutine is Fries, Gravy and Cheese Curds (No substitutions)

I'm just a science teacher but, considering I teach evolution, ecology, and climate... 🤷
I'll wait for them to deport my ass.
Let it be on their dime!

Why would they stay here? You see how they’re being treated for a tax cut for the wealthy?

If more knew how and had the capability to leave in a realistic way of living and surviving affordably, more surely would

I'm preparing to leave -- going through all my work & deciding what's of value & what was of value only to me. I'm an artist not a scientist, and I'm retired working part-time. I don't like American culture -- it's turned stupid & mean. Unoriginal. I don't trust many Americans much either.

I'm 63, good research associate, but too old, no country would take, gonna have to stay until have no salary

I'll stay and fight, but I understand the sentiment. They should, however, consider that many other nations have citizen first hiring practices and don't hire foreigners as readily. In my field, this has long been the practice for Canada and other nations.

Canada will gladly take all the scientists, doctors, ecologists, park rangers, etc! 🇨🇦
