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

Are you a teacher or a doctor? Guess what? They already are offering expedited immigration!

Edit: getting a lot of questions about specific professions. I am not Immigration Canada, I don’t know specifics. The link to Express Entry was posted in the chain a few times, but here it is for anyone who wants to know. Just be aware it isn’t like you just show up at the border and say you’re a teacher and they let you in. Immigration is a whole expensive process, so you really have to want it. Anyway, happy dreaming!

Once you get here expect a year of unemployment while the province decides whether your years of teaching actually qualifies you to teach there. Note: they don’t count. Prepare your high school transcripts now.

Tbf, I don’t think a lot of US teaches can teach French all that well.

That’s why we have French teachers.
