Toronto: A Sanctuary City for Americans

Toronto is also becoming a popular sanctuary. Just as during the Vietnam War, when many American families, including that of the urbanist Jane Jacobs, flocked north, today the continent's fourth-largest city is welcoming disaffected U.S. academics and scientists. Once known as the leader of the free world, these days America feels more "like 1933 in Germany," says Marci Shore, a professor of Eastern European intellectual history, who is leaving Yale University for the University of Toronto's Munk School of Global Affairs & Public Policy.

Comments

America's loss is Canada's gain. In addition to academics and researchers, the Canadian government would probably take in the USIC personnel that Tulsi Gabbard axed or DOD staff cut by DOGE: www.canada.ca

Democrats every time a Republican is elected to the Presidency: I'm MoViNg To CaNaDa.

And then they don't, because liberals are lazy.

Reminds me of when Texans were screaming about Texas seceding due to Obama winning his reelection.

There's a lot of university research hospitals in TO that can use staff.

"And then they don't, because liberals are lazy."

Democrats are about as liberal as Republicans are conservative. Which is to say, not at all. But partisans still use those terms in a way that's completely lazy.

"I'm MoViNg To CaNaDa."

I've never understood this. It makes much more sense to move south than north.

You're an idiot

Sure, El Salvador is much nicer than Canada.

That is part of the reason - the bigger reason though is that Canada will not let people with criminal records come to the country, which eliminates a huge % of the Democrat party - and likely 70%+ of Democrats cannot locate Canada on a world map. Lastly, Canada's immigration program is focused on skilled workers - so, the Democrats with Gender Studies degrees working at Starbucks in the US will not be allowed to move to Canada and displace their baristas at Tim Hortons, also, those positions are reserved for Indians to ---- in the street.

There is greater acceptance of homosexuals Canada than in Latin America - and that is a primary concerns for most of the liberals continually saying they will leave the US. Just take that sad sack o' ---- Rosie as an example moving to Ireland.

Lyrics excerpt ...

...
[Verse 1]
I been high
I been low
I been everywhere I wanted to go
But I never been here before
I been all around the world
Even outer space
But what I'm seeing right now
Feels like a brand new place

[Pre-Chorus]
I was so damn close
If it was a snake
It would have bit me
Crawling right under my nose
Baby I must admit it
That I really didn't get it

[Chorus]
But now you got me singing
La-la-ba-dee-dah
La-la-ba-dee-dah
How could I have been so blind?
Cause now you got me singing
La-la-ba-dee-dah
Oh baby
La-la-ba-dee-dah
For the first time in my life
I see love
I see love
...

It is now that they have locked up their criminals - and the ones they didn't lock up fled to the US and Canada.

@#12 ... It is now that they have locked up their criminals ...

Why are those incarcerated "their" criminals?

And, more importantly, what due process did these people face before their kidnapping and removal from the Country?

It is El Salvador - they can decide how they want to deal with their own citizens. Stop being a cultural imperialist.
