It took a day, but they have accepted their orange overlord.

    Interest declined when they discovered the immigration process was non-trivial. I checked into Canada back in 2016. Didn’t bother this time. I think a lobotomy might be the answer. It would be nice if I could just have my empathy surgically removed.

      Wait, you’re telling me other countries have long processes for immigrating? I’m shocked. SHOCKED! Well, not that shocked.

      Save your money, y’all. You might need it if you ever need to flee to Canada as a refugee.

      If I have to die young, I’m taking a few fascists with me.

      Edit: for example the lemmy.ml bots that are stalking my comment history. Yes, you, I see you.

      I looked into moving to Germany a few years back myself. Mostly because my work has a place over there and the employee benefits are way way better there than here. I think most immigration processes are nontrivial unless you have a ton of wealth to bring to a country.

    Canada has US flag waving pickup truck driving room temperature IQ having Trump cultists. Somehow. It’s incredibly stupid.

    They’re discouraged by Canada. Subreddits for European countries are filled with Americans inquiring about their chances though. I’ve heard of several wanting to know more about the Netherlands.

      As a Dutch person we’d happily welcome the more sensible Americans over here 🙂. I can’t guarantee our government wouldn’t try to stop a mass migration wave given their anti-immigrant policies though.

      It’s funny, my partner and I were actually talking about moving to the US for a while to spend more time with my American in-laws but I think that’ll be out of the window for the next four years.

    It went down when they realized you can’t just walk into Canada.

    You can get some affordable healthcare once you’re here. I’ve heard my neighbors that came up from the States talk about the piece of mind they got when they realized their healthcare will not bankrupt them. It sounds like it’s quite the relief, eh?
