I don’t think Canada should remind Trump it exists again. This dude is itching to go to war with somewhere. Then again I’m quite sure America would have a war with itself before one with fucking Canada.
I’d think the same, though it sounds like the US border guards might try to stop him ever reaching the Canadian side. Still, no airline is involved and it doesn’t need to be booked in advance so there’d be a pretty good chance of getting through.
Having driven across the US/Canada border multiple times, egress from the US isn’t controlled - or at least, it wasn’t when I went through last time. But I’m also a US Citizen and may not have been subjected to the customs queues in ways that non-US passport holders are - idk, it was a few years ago.

trump changed this in the last 6 months or so. While there are still many Canadian crossings that you can leave the USA freely (to go to Canadian border guards side), trump has now set up USA border guards on the USA side even for US Citizens attempting to leave the USA to go to Canada. I think there are 6 or 8 right now at some of the largest crossings. Its already announced more are coming. trump doesn’t want us leaving.
If he’s gonna sneak across, he’s gonna need to do it before the snows hit Saskatchewan. It’s a long walk and it’s very cold and many people die even when their home country isn’t trying to make that happen.
On the Canuck side there’s usually po-po waiting with blankets and cookies and a warm car. Of course he’ll stay At The Pleasure, for a while, until his case comes up, but we’re not barbarians.

Right now there are only a handful of border crossings from the US to Canada that have border guards challenging Americans leaving the USA, and all of these are new under trump in the last 6 months. The usual place USA border guards challenge is on entering the USA.
I’m pretty sure that could be considered grounds for driving up to the Canadian border and requesting asylum as a politically-persecuted refugee
You can’t claim asylum in Canada from the US. They have agreements.
Fly from Canada to Europe and try to get asylum there.
Asylum from third party countries is also a whole thing.
I would not be shocked if that policy changed at some point in the relatively near future.
Sadly that sounds like wishful thinking

Our Prime Minister spent the last few days in the Oval Office sucking up to Trump.
This. They actually have to report any American who tries to seek asylum to the American Government
What the actual fuck, who would make such a blatantly evil agreement? How are we in a wise timeline than the handmaid’s tale?
America
I mean with America, what Canadian thought it was good to give anyone free reign to persecute people like that
Land of the Never-Getting-Free

Oh. I see. Delightful.
Any recent sources on this? I found some articles from May of this year. Is it still ongoing? Has it gotten worse?
No recent sources. Months ago the article I read said that this was only happening at 6 border crossings, but there were plans to expand it to more.
