When Trump gets elected are you moving to Canada or Mexico?

Asked by rem1981 (396points) November 6th, 2016

Let’s pretend for a minute that we’re one of those ridiculous people threatening to leave America if Trump gets elected. Where are you going? Canada and Mexico is where most of them think life will be better than here under Trump’s leadership.

I’d go to Mexico. Canada is too cold. I would live a minimalist lifestyle in a resort town in Mexico, and that would be it. Doesn’t sound better than here, but if I had to leave, that’s what I’d do.

Mexico, for warmth. But I live in California, and we are going to build a wall.

No. But he won’t be elected.

Why would you think Canada is too cold,we have super hot summers and pretty mild winters out here in western Canada.

Good luck to anyone trying to get into Canada legally. It is a LOT easier to do the paperwork to get into the US.

Everybody talks big but nobody actually moves when the rubber hits the road.

Canada is definitely too cold. If I had to move somewhere cold it would be Norway.

Tropical_Willie's avatar

I’m moving to the foreign country of the Sandwich Islands ( Hawaii ).

NORWAY IS COLD TOO @rem1981!

Canada- Winters and all. The situation in Mexico grows more problematic daily.

@rem1981, what? Rem has to be joking.

Seek's avatar

I don’t have the money to move anywhere legally, so, I’ll take anywhere that I can convince to take me illegally. Perhaps Norway. I could hide out there for a while at least.

If I had the means I would have relocated already, though not to Canada or Mexico. I’ve always wanted to dwell, for a time at least, on fair Albion’s shores.

Shhhhh! Stop encouraging them!!

Dear person-of-the-future: I cannot and will not answer on the grounds that you might not be telling the truth. Ask me again Wednesday.

Earthbound_Misfit's avatar

It’s okay @dappled_leaves. Some people are going to Norway where it’s warm…

SQUEEKY2's avatar

@dappled_leaves Oh uh right you wouldn’t want Canada way to cold!
Better head to Mexico.

tedibear's avatar

I’m not leaving, but if I were, it would be to Canada. The cold doesn’t bother me and it’s closer to where I live now.

Berserker's avatar

What IS all this crap about Canada being too cold? Maybe it’s global warming but our winters lately have been pussies. Plus our summers are always these atrocious humid jungle style calamities.

Although I do understand that the south of the US gets very mild winters or none at all, in the last years northern parts of the US got all the cool Viking weather. Not us. Not in Québec anyway.

And while I certainly spend all my waking hours eating raw onions and fistfighting bears, not everyone in Canada does. GAWD.

Rarebear's avatar

Well, if Trump is elected I will probably get a tax cut. I’ll use the money to take a trip to Canada.

janbb's avatar

@Berserker Yeah – but poutine? What the fuck are cheese curds anyway?

Zissou's avatar

Montreal is a great cosmopolitan city, and my French is better than my Spanish. It’s my understanding that Americans can stay 6 months in Canada without a visa. I’d like to live 6 months a year in Montreal, maybe travel to other places in the world for part of the year, and spend the rest in my home state or staying with relatives in other states.

Or, more drastically, I could go to Ireland. My grandparents were Irish, and last I checked, it was possible to get Irish citizenship. If this country finally breaks my heart one too many times, I guess I could go back to the auld sod to die.

@janbb Did we not make time for poutine while you were here? This is the only place where you can learn about cheese curds. All the other provinces do it wrong.

@Berserker You mean there are Canadians who fistfight bears without half-eaten raw onions? What are they eating, turnips? Pfffft.

Darth_Algar's avatar

Poutine is one of those things Americans should have invented. Seriously. It’s french fries slathered in cheese and gravy – how the fuck did we not come up with this?

Zissou's avatar

It turns out US citizens can also stay in Mexico for 180 days without a visa. So no need to choose! Spend 180 days in Canada, 3 days driving south, 180 days in Mexico, and 3 days driving north.

Or if you don’t want to set foot in the US while Trump is in office, spend 180 days in Canada, fly to Mexico, stay 180 days, then go to Cuba for a week, then fly back to Canada.

cazzie's avatar

Norway won’t let anyone in. And Norway isn’t as cold as most of Canada.

Seek's avatar

They’ll let me in. I’m awesome. C’mon…

Berserker's avatar

@Seek If not, come here. We’ll play that Viking game and get drunk.

Seek's avatar

Yaaas. I love Canada. All my favorite beers are made there

cazzie's avatar

I’ll marry Seek so she can live here in Norway.

“This is the only place where you can learn about cheese curds”, says dappled_leaves. I was waiting for a torrent of response to that but none came. Evidently there are no Wisconsin folks here on Fluther.

@Darth_Algar Poutine is good, but Americans didn’t need to invent it because we invented chili fries instead.

I had to laugh when I saw what they call “Michigan”-style poutine and hot dogs in Montreal. It’s like chili fries and chili dogs, but they use spaghetti sauce instead of chili. Dear me. Had to laugh to keep from crying, that is. But then when I got back to Michigan, I saw the local Checkers was selling a burger that claimed to have Montreal-style smoked meat on it. I’m sure their version of Montreal smoked meat was just as bad as Montreal’s version of a coney island (that’s what they call chili dogs in Detroit), so I guess we’re even.

I hope I can make it back to Montreal some day even if Trump loses.

dappled_leaves's avatar

@Zissou I’ve had cheese curds in Wisconsin. They’re an entirely different substance from cheese curds in Quebec. No salt, no squeak.

Let me know if you’re ever in Montreal. :)

Berserker's avatar

If your curds don’t squeak, then fuck it.

janbb's avatar

@Berserker How does one fuck a curd, silent or squeaking? Or should that be Kurd?

Berserker's avatar

Aucune idée man.

dappled_leaves's avatar

@Berserker “If your curds don’t squeak, then fuck it.”

Right?

Berserker's avatar

Yes. If your cheese isn’t squeaky then it isn’t fresh anymore or it got too liquidy or you’re just eating dirty Hitler cheese and it’s just PLAIN NO FUN. Curds must be squeaky.

cazzie's avatar

BBE packed cheese curds from Wisconsin for me this trip but they disappeared out of his bag. Cheese curds are gooooood. It’s like eating little cheese fetuses.

Dutchess_III's avatar

Cheese turds?
