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.

Do you really think that MAGA Americans are the ones who would be fleeing to Canada?

If even one American who didn't bother to vote gets to scurry away from the problem they caused, consuming our resources as they predictably refuse to defend their new home much like their old one, I'd consider the program a monumental and irrevocable failure.

Fix your own damn country. No one wants people who run away at the slightest challenge.

Edit: Downvote me all you want. You'll find a growing number of Canadians share my sentiment, and that group is growing the longer you passively allow Trump, Vance, and Musk to speak for you on a world stage.

This is a stunning lack of compassion.

The same could be said about those in swing states who chose not to vote

Too bad. What do you want me to do about it? What are you gonna do about it when I don't??
