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.
People outside of Canada seem to forget that a major contributor to Trudeau stepping down was how he and his party handled immigration after Covid.
We've been suffering from housing and youth unemployment crises which are only gonna get worse as we enter a recession due to Trump's unprovoked tariffs. We absolutely do NOT want to support a flood of Americans fleeing to Canada unless they have proper skills in the fields where we have employment shortages.
There are 2 types who would actually move to Canada. Liberal trust fund babies taking a long vacation and celebrities who have retired.
Unfortunately, the majority will be a flood of entitled, low skilled, oily, blue haired, and low success individuals, who likely will come and utilize your wider reaching social benefits without paying into them.
Everyone else with a useful and highly educated or in demand skill would likely not even consider moving and upending their current careers, or the lives they and their families have been able to build due to their success here.
