As a Canadian, please don't come here (unless your reproductive rights/ bodily autonomy are under direct threat)
Sometimes I feel hopeless with our political parties and economy up here and think about moving out of country and then I remember that as a citizen I have a duty and responsibility to remain a voice of reason in my community.
As a US citizen you are afforded real rights that citizens in other countries do not have. For example: In Canada we don't have rights, we have freedoms. Those freedoms can be suspended by the government at any time.
Be the change. Fix your system. Help turn your nation into the example for the global west that it always aspired to.
Speaking as a Canadian, if you feel like your personal safety and bodily autonomy is threatened in a way that can be improved by moving here, you are welcome. It's called the Charter of RIGHTS and Freedoms. We absolutely have rights.
Imagine if Canada built a wall to keep out all the immigrants from their southern border.
Our system was designed to not be fixable.
