In the last few weeks, there has been a surge in the number of Americans searching online about moving to Canada and recent political events appear to have been a major catalyst.
But will they follow through?
Immigration lawyers say it’s a difficult question to answer, but they are already starting to see an uptick in U.S. citizens contacting their offices for help.
WASHINGTON (AP) — A former president is wounded in a shooting, the gunman quickly neutralized, and all of it is caught on camera. But for those who don’t believe their eyes, that’s just the start of the story.
For some supporters of Donald Trump, the failure of the Secret Service to prevent the attempted assassination of the Republican former president points to a conspiracy orchestrated by Democratic President Joe Biden. For some of Trump’s critics, however, the details of the shooting don’t add up. They wonder if Trump staged the whole thing.
I don’t know of anyone who has suggested Dementia Joe was behind the assassination attempt. The Deep State maybe.
It’s much more likely that the prolonged TDS propagated by the left and the media created the mass acceptance of political homicide.
I’ve lived in apartments in Toronto my whole life. I’ve been in my current apartment for nine years — and I’ve watched in horror as apartments around me doubled, then tripled in price. For the past five years, I’ve lived with the terrifying knowledge that if I had to move tomorrow, there would be nowhere for me to go. As a struggling creative and small business owner, even prices in Etobicoke and Scarborough are beyond my reach.

Canadians now spend more of their incomes on housing than almost any other country in the world. Between 1980 and 2020, housing prices in Canada rose by 746 per cent, far outpacing the median household income, which grew by less than half of that. Then housing prices soared another 50 per cent during the pandemic.
Meanwhile, the country’s fertility rate has been falling steadily, hitting historic lows in each of the past five years it was measured. As of the latest tally in 2022 – when inflation was red hot – Canada’s fertility rate fell to just 1.33 children per woman. For reference, a country requires a fertility rate of 2.1 to keep its population stable, without relying on immigration.
