      Realistically Canada is going to put off allowing asylum seekers from the US as long as possible, as the volumes of asylum seekers the US handles (that are no longer welcome there) would overwhelm Canada. That’s without considering American asylum seekers too.

      You best bet is to consider immigrating through traditional, economic based pathways.

        All my profs at my Canadian undergrad university were American, they had left because of Kent State. A lot have already come up here again.

      Canada already has precedent of not extraditing trans people here because of the climate for queer people. June I think.

    I don’t know… Id probably live in Hawaii or Oregon or Washington. They sound like nice places, but I they’re probably still very off from my European sensibilities. New England sounds nice too.

    I really hope other countries start allowing lgbtqia+ people to immigrate as asylum seekers.

    I’m so sick of living in this shithole country.

        I understand the dislike for the US, but I think it’s disingenuous to suggest that there aren’t any other countries just as bad as the current admin, if not worse.

        Half of the countries in the world are horrible places to live. Actually it might be more than half, but you get the idea.

    I’d probably reluctantly live in Hawaii. If someone were paying me an unreasonable amount of money to do so. Distance seems to temper the worst of the bullshit.

      What else would you do, reluctantly, for money?
      See, Larry Ellison owns about 98% of the island of Lanai. He’s got a bunker there.
      Zuckerberg also owns property on Lanai, has a bunker there (a Lanai local told me), in addition to his ranch on Kauai.
      Peter Thiel, probably similar. Musk, similar… Oprah, etc.
      So we’ll get you the GoFundMe money, but we have a mission for you…

          If they can build their corpo-feudal city states they may not. We’re all probably gonna have to fight eventually, may as well do it in paradise?

    As a colour blind Canadian, I’m horribly confused. Is this a never or absolutely? You don’t happen to be from Alberta by any chance, do you?

      Never is in red, absolutely is in green, the entire map is colored red. There is nothing but the never red shown anywhere on the map beyond the key.

      It is a bad choice for the colors chosen, as they are the perfect red/green opposite for color blindness to see as the same color.

      Note: this not written as snarky to Fly_Dutch_Rudder, itt is meant as a helpful explanation of the map.

      Yeah I was thinking visiting was off limits, and I think I’m taken as a white dude, though generics will say otherwise. Half my ancestors discovered America the other half didn’t think they lost it, sort of thing. Also I try not to visit countries with fascist governments.
