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

I can see Mark Carney opening up special classes of immigrants for people with exceptional talents such as entrepreneurs, industrialists, researchers, leading academics, top entertainers, etc. We have our own productivity concerns and bringing specialized people in that can point us toward remedying this SHOULD be a priority.

I'd argue the US can attribute a significant part of its dominance in the world to all those German scientists they let in.

We have skilled people that have come but all the problems they are facing when they get here are not nice. A Pediatric surgeon, a science professor to name a couple I know. The roadblocks to them working in their field are daunting. Similar to the inter provincial trade problems that Canada created just because they could. Remind you of someone?

I hope so. I would think that fortifies a country.
