Take a shot for every comment saying "Move to Canada" :)

Go easy dude, you're gonna kill him.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

I thought that was the point?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Just giving him a head start

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago (4 children)

As much of a joke as it is, that's a real option for me. Won't pull the trigger on day one, but you bet your ass I'll be ready to go at a moments notice.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

There are currently only 8 or 9 "move to Canada" comments; you'll need more before the number of shots is sure to kill you.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago (3 children)

Oh yeah because it's that easy to just pack up and move to a country that doesn't want you.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

Statistically, most people who pop off about moving to Canada won't have an easy time of it, but the two countries do share one of the world's longest land borders and have countless economic and cultural ties. There are undoubtedly thousands of people in the US who have citizenship or eligibility for work permits, along with some financial means.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I will have no issue imegrating, I have "an in" as well as a place to live already.

The border is only a 20 minute drive anyway.

The "doesn't want me" statement seems like your personal opinion, not objective reality.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Yah, if you have any skills and are financially stable, Canada is super down. They love people who contribute to society.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Or, ya know, you married one of em.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Exactly. I would've left this country years ago if it was that simple. I can't afford to vacation in Canada, let alone move there, and I live in a northern state.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

It's completely understandable! I wouldn't want to be in the US either if I were American and Canada seem pretty chill in comparison.

Sashay to french canaday
