Thinking About Moving to Canada if Trump Wins?
VOX ^ | 3/15/16 | Dara Lind

"If Donald Trump wins, that's it. I'm moving to Canada."

You've probably heard someone say it out of exasperation or resignation. People say it every presidential election — and this election, the unprecedented WTFness of the Republican Party frontrunner has the idea of heading north on a lot of people's minds.

We in the west, especially Alberta, would be more likely to join the U.S. If that happened.

From the few of you I've met, I suspect we'd rather have you than several of our current states.

Alberta is Texas, with mountains.

Reminds me of lyrics to an old tune from my younger days:

FOUR STRONG WINDS

Four strong winds that blow lonely, Seven seas that run high,
All these things that don’t change, Come what may.
But our good times are all gone,
And I’m bound for moving on.
I’ll look for you if I’m ever back this way.

Think I’ll go out to Alberta,
Weather’s good there in the fall.
Got some friends that I can go to working for,
Still I wish you’d change your mind
If I asked you one more time,
But we’ve been through that a hundred times or more.

Four strong winds that blow lonely, Seven seas that run high,
All these things that don’t change, Come what may.
But our good times are all gone,
And I’m bound for moving on.
I’ll look for you if I’m ever back this way.

If I get there before the snow flies,
And if things are going good,
You could meet me if I send you down the fare.
But if you wait until it’s winter,
It will be no good
‘Cause that wind sure can blow way out there.

Four strong winds that blow lonely, Seven seas that run high,
All these things that don’t change, Come what may.
But our good times are all gone,
And I’m bound for moving on.
I’ll look for you if I’m ever back this way.

Nope because Canada will be filled with libtards that say they’d move there if Trump wins. Which in a way would be good for the US.

Who would YOU most like to see leave our beloved country if Trump wins the general election?

Nancy Pelosi. Charles Schumer. Hillary Clinton. Joe Manchin. Al Sharpton. Jeremiah Wright. Al Gore. Jerry Brown. Chris Matthews. Loretta Lynch. Sonia Sotomayor. Elena Kagan. Anthony Kennedy.

Of course, I don't really care what their excuse for leaving might be. Just leave.

Well for one, I’d like to see Justin Bieber return to Canada.

We lost the hockey game. We're stuck with him.

Excellent point! It’s always Canada, or South Africa, or England.

Never Mexico!

But considering a Canadian team last actually won a Stanley Cup in 1993, we might want to reconsider.

Nope, I`m thinking of moving to the US if Trump wins.

There might be a re-match in 2018.

Nothing like proving your not a bigot by moving to an even whiter country than America...

I’ll look it up. Might be a later one; I switched to talk radio in about 1970 and never went back.

Good list, but you forgot George Soros.

Not being much of a hockey fan, let me ask- how many American players (vs. Canadians) are on US NHL teams?
