On the other hand, lots of Canadians like Trump and are hoping to find a similar candidate in the ongoing leadership race to replace retired Stephen Harper.

Nobody stands out as a Trump clone, you can get some of the realism from three or four out of seventeen candidates (sound familiar?) and there’s a prominent businessman lurking in the wings but he seems a bit more inclined to political correctness than Trump.

I am sure many Canadians will continue to visit the U.S. and enjoy their time “south of the border.” Please don’t assume if you see a Canadian licence plate that you’re dealing with a liberal idiot. About one third of us are conservatives. And that third are more likely to cross the border than most. Even before Trump, there were liberal Canadians who didn’t very often, if ever, cross the border and who feared everyday life in border communities that are frankly just about equivalent to Canadian towns on the other side of the border. You have to go a long way south before you really notice a different culture, the border states seem fairly liberal and very dependent on Canadian shoppers in many cases.

I would move to Utah or Nevada if I could afford it, but as a retiree I would lose most of my Canadian pension so my limit is about two months out of the year. Love the scenery, the people, and the weather.
