For some college-bound students distressed by the election of Donald Trump, Canada is calling.

This precious little thing might want to consider that Colonel Russell Williams has applied for release from prison and rumor has it that he likes 'em young.

I think what you may be seeing is the confluence of NYC and Napa sophisticates and what they give us by way of children.

"Trump will cause sexual assaults on college campuses?" Dang. I thought that was caused by Global Warming.

"They have been accepting our traitorous scum since about 1783."
Actually earlier than that, I think. It is a dirty job but somebody has to do it.
We got a better class of traitorous scum before the 20th century.

Lara, Canada is much like Napa...in July and August... Several times in the last few years I've spent a few days in a town a couple of hundred miles north of Montreal.On three occasions,all in January,the low temperature during my stay was either -20F...-30F...or -40F.And those weren't wind chill temps...those were official and wind chill was *added* to them.

This is good news. Canada should impose a 20-year national service requirement for any expat American attending its colleges.

FYI there is no university in Moose Jaw or a "Moose Jaw U"

I guess liberals would feel the burden of proof much the same either way.
In other words...not at all.

I'm sure it's a swingin' place
My point was that your typical U.S.-American SJW Snowflake isn't going to be prepared for life above the 54th Parallel.
"Also, I don't think Moose Jaw is particularly LGBTQ (whatever that is) friendly."

"Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) rights in Canada are some of the most advanced in the Americas and in the world." - Wiki

This makes no sense. Today’s American college campuses are far to the left of anything in Canada.

I disagree. We don’t want to through up any impediments to their migration, do we?
