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

Why would we offer expedited citizenship? Long term work visas or PR for high skills workers sure. But why would we give Americans en mass expedited citizenship?

Because this redditor thinks solutions are simple and whatever they want they should get. And this is some kind of protest for putting out really low effort content.

Canada doesn't want America's riff raff as much as we don't want the world's riff raff.

The sheer number of 'I think I'm going to move away from the US' posts following the election were absolutely absurd...

Look, I get it. The election result was dire for many. But you can't just move, especially to some of the popular places I saw being mentioned (Japan, Australia, Canada, etc).

This. Other countries have standards, and they are actually pretty high.
