3. I would rather see secession of the blue states than millions fleeing to Canada

I no longer want to hear about what is legal or not anymore when it comes to this secession issue when we have a felon tyrant and his regime doing whatever the hell they want to do. The social contract has been shredded by MAGA.

We supposed to just run away, sit back and become slaves or be slaughtered by Nazis?

8. Lots of options besides secession

An attempt to secede would be met with violence.

Don’t buy into the myth that Trump is omnipotent, or that the states and the people are powerless. Secession is a simplistic, unrealistic, unworkable solution.

If EVERYTHING is on the table, why not a revolution to overthrow the government instead of secession? (Another bad idea, but just thought I’d follow your logic)

If things continue to deteriorate, the suffering will become so widespread it will unite the red and blue states against the Trump administration.

We have extended relatives via my paternal side of the family that reside in Canada.

We're actively considering renewing those acquaintances.

4. Asylum won't be granted to any Americans, but Canada is actively recruiting for a "Brain Drain" from the US

If you’re an American Doctor, nurse, professor, researcher, even a construction worker, the Canadian government may expedite your entry to Canada on a Permanent Resident visa.

Many have already taken advantage of this effort; Former Yale professor Timothy Snyder, author of “On Tyranny”, recently relocated to Canada.

They should recruit filmmakers as well- Vancouver and Toronto both have well established film industries (that’s where most Hallmark movies are made, but lots of others too).

It was meant as a compliment and joke, but kinda scary his mind went there.
