Canada

Completely against this.

Every single election cycle we hear the same thing from either side of the aisle of American politics where if the person they're against wins, suddenly they want to move to Canada.

We already have a big enough problem with having our own national identity. You can argue we have xyz that'll keep us afloat, but the reality is, we lack a lot culturally compared to other countries in our position. We constantly lose cultural talents here to the U.S. because it's more profitable to do what they do down south than it is here. Like, how many Canadian actors can you name that haven't moved to the American film industry? How many of them even live here?

The same goes for a lot of major musical talents. Like wow, congrats, fucking Drake lives in Toronto, what an accomplishment that we have one major musical talent from this era who stuck around, and it's one of the worst people you can name.

When Americans come in here through these ancestry claims, we are importing more American culture while completely failing to adequately protect our own. We are also giving credence to Americans seeing us simply as a safe-haven extension of the U.S., and allowing people to abandon the responsibility to their country if the Trump administration is the root cause of them coming here.

Want to protect those such as immigrants and trans people in the U.S.? Get rid of the Safe Third Country agreement. We should only be taking in those whose lives are directly in danger despite their actions rather than those who have the ability to do something about their situation, yet take the coward's way out by leaving after they refused to take proper action.

You already see this crap online of people simply saying "sorry" and doing fuck all otherwise about shit like the annexation talk. Why reward inaction?
