How Would Canadians Feel About An Influx of Immigrants From America?

This was the first comment in response to the +Washington Week with Gwen Ifill article by +Matt Loffman  titled You Want to Move to Canada, Eh?

Tom •  I moved to Canada in 2006 and am now a Canadian citizen. I have absolutely no desire to return to the US, and frankly hope conservative Americans stay away so they don't ruin a very civilized, wonderful country. 

As a way of dealing with how depressing our politics are sometimes I fantasize about moving to Canada. I had no idea so many other Americans were actively looking into it.

According to +Matt Loffman's article, there's even a website called Cape Brenton If Donald Trump Wins, which +CNN covered in this news segment: Serene Canadian island courts 'Trump refugees' 

Now I can imagine some of you see the occasional instance like this one, in which Brent Brown introduces President Obama, by way of explaining how he came around to appreciating the Affordable Care Act, as a sign that things could get better.


.


I, however, see it as a reason to seriously consider moving to Canada. On the show +All In with Chris Hayes Brent Brown explained the reason he was vehemently opposed to the Affordable Care Act at first and the reason he came around to seeing its value.




To me, both explanations illustrate the reason Trump may win in November.   

Chris Hayes asked Brent Brown: 

Do you remember, following the Obamacare debate, what you thought about it when it was talked about as this abstraction? 

Brent Brown: Initially? 

Chris Hayes: Yeah 

Brent went on to explain that his thought process was: 

Republican, good. Democrat, Bad. That was my thought process. That it was going to be very expensive, and that there were going to be many loafers that were going to take advantage of the system.And that's it's not an O.K. thing to back if you are a conservative.

The chances of Trump becoming president of the United States of America can be framed like this. 

Bernie Sanders (Democrat) VS Donald Trump (Republican) 

Out of the total number of people who vote, Trump wins if: 

The number of people for whom a socialist is a bad person > the number of people appalled by Donald 

Hilary Clinton VS Donald Trump 

Out of the total number of people who vote, Trump wins if: 

The number of people who *hate Hilary > the number of people appalled by Donald Trump 

(*sadly, like President Obama, there is a group of Americans that can be defined by their hatred of Hilary Clinton.)
