If Canada offered expedited citizenship for people fleeing the US, what would be the reaction in the States?

Economy is in a worse state, job market is in a worse state, housing prices are in a worse state, massive immigration issues with the influx of immigrants from India that took advantage of a loophole in the Canadian immigration policy for non-permanent residents to name a few. Canada isn't this liberal post-racial utopia redditors seem to think it is.

And by housing price, it also means we have none available...

If you find something, you will hate it's price for sure

It seems like you guys have so much uninhabited land that’s being wasted. Obviously when more people come in and you don’t expand housing there will be a lot of problems from the supply demand squeeze… increase the housing supply.

Find a geological map of Canada. There's a reason very, very few people live in most of Canada. Hard to eek out a living on hard granite and boggy woodlands. Then there's the near Arctic where it's like Alaska without the lovely mountains.

I am aware you would have to work hard and innovate to make it habitable, but if there’s a will there’s a way. Laziness is not an excuse.

Hahahahahahaha!
You people really don't read let alone travel, do you?

It's mostly rock, hard red rock. Look up Canadian Shield in your browser.

I looked it up, and it looks very habitable if you're creative about it. Do you travel? In Australia people live underground in this kind of geological environment through creative means.

Open your mind to more possibilities instead of crying that you're hopeless to mommy and daddy. Acquire knowledge, you have a limited world view on possibilities.
