    Yeah you're on a list now... Palantir already scraped your comment and IP address and once the war with Canada starts you will be tracked as you go about your life. Once you even try to act on your comment you and people around you that know about your plans will be hunted down and relatively quickly. What happens after that I do not know.

    This is what the USA is like now. This is the supposed freedom that the constitution guarantees. You're better off defecting to Canada and joining their military, but then be ready to kill your fellow Americans.

    Just me having to make this comment just shows how far gone the USA is. I mourn for what it used to be. Absolute insanity, the past 10 years has been a nightmare for me at least. We are here now, fuck the USA government.

    Canada won't take almost all American that try to go there. Unless you can buy your way in, with what, a 10 million dollar investment in the country is it?

    Not applicable for me, I'm not going anywhere.

    Canada has citizenship by descent from a Canadian citizen and the rules were recently loosened so tons of Americans are applying to prove their descent from a Canadian citizen: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/canadian-citizenship/act-changes/rules-2025.html

    Last I checked, the processing time for all those applications was 33 months because so many people were applying.

    I actually have one. It was a couple of generations back though.

    According to this it seems that it's transitive so it goes back all the way to the 1600's as long as they were a Canadian citizen or (before either 1947 or 1949, depending on province) a British subject living in Canada.

    This rule also applies to you if you were born to someone who became Canadian because of these rule changes.

    I will have to tell any family I have that might want to emigrate at some point thanks for the information I can't believe I didn't know that.

    I am going down with the ship.

    may not help, but check this out, it's some of our programs etc. for people looking to come to Canada. https://ircc.canada.ca/explore-programs/index.asp

    If you do find something that works, just keep in mind that our gov't, like most, can be terribly slow in processing things. Good luck!
