I’ll beat this drum again: I would fully support a program where we exchange equal numbers of MAGA loyalists in Canada for trained doctors, engineers, and tradespeople looking to escape fascism.

The Americans have already shown interest in this with their idea of importing white South Africans. Is this an impossible idea?

I've pointed out before that most of the MAGA-land folks in Canada likely currently don't have a viable path to immigrate to the USA, see https://lemmy.ca/post/41215108/15425311 and https://lemmy.ca/post/41215108/15458003

But that doesn't mean we can't make one for them!

I imagine we could easily negotiate something like the Trans-Tasman Travel Arrangement, but between Canada and the USA - but with the additional condition that MAGA is a disqualifying condition for coming to Canada.

Like the TTTA, we should also allow the green card holders in.

Yeah likely would need to create a special system of refugee status or similar. Maybe around the concept of escaping “woke-ism”?
