In every election, disgruntled Americans have long threatened to move to Canada if the candidate they don't like is elected. While few actually follow through with this threat, the 2016 election is no different. Several celebrities--ranging from Whoopi Goldberg toMiley Cyrus to Lena Dunham all declared that they would head north contingent on a Donald Trump victory, and one resident of Cape Breton Island has set up a site to help persuade Americans to move to the small island in Nova Scotia.
Unfortunately for most non-famous Americans without advanced degrees, superior hockey skills, or some other special talent, moving to Canada (legally) is actuallypretty difficult. The easiest way to immigrate sans doctorate or ability to stop a slap shot, however, is via a spousal sponsorship--i.e., getting married to a Canadian.
Enter "Maple Match," a new dating site that purports to help Trump-hating Americans find a Canadian spouse.
According to site founder Joe Goldman, about 13,000 people have signed up, and about a quarter of them are Canadians. Reportedly, Americans from all around the country have signed up as well. There have not been any matches made just yet.
Even if a match is made and a couple falls in love, they still are at the mercy of the Canadian immigration system before they can move to Canada.
Oh, every election year there are those who threaten to move to Canada, and every election year they remain. It's really a joke...people like to beotch, but when it comes down to it, very few, if any, area really going to uproot.

Yes, I understand that, but America has always been known for being a melting pot. The diversity is something to be proud of, imo.

Diversity is fine. Attempting to change what makes this nation great is not.
And electing a frickin' CRIMINAL to be POTUS is not ok. The fact that the Democrats have let Hillary get this far and so many of them endorse her is insane and disgusting. I want ANYONE that endorses Hillary to leave. Preferably to Benzhagi.

I don't care what you want, but the hatred is so endearing.

And I don't care what you think. Didn't you promise to move to Canada? Take your kids with you.

Of course. This was the reason we had areas where people of various cultures congregated. Little Italy, Chinatown, etc. People held on to their cultures, while adapting to new life in the new land. They did not try to impose their cultures on others, or expect others to acclimate to their culture.

not when your differences become more important than your identity as a nation. Immigrants to this country in the 18th and 19th centuries we're proud to be Americans. They waved American flags, not Irish ones, or Italian ones.
Few remnants of those cultures truly remain--except for pizza and St. pattys day.

Well, I could agree with you--but then we'd both be wrong.
Wasn't long ago, Flan said she'd move to Canada if Trump was elected.

It's funny because I HAVE mentioned him, On the food thread. You were probably too drunk to notice.
At least I'm not absolutely paralyzed without him. You can't function when your man leaves.

Because we don't do well without each other. He was going to cancel his Canada trip because I couldn't go. I booked all his lodging. He's as lost without me as I am with him.
We are one. You can't even understand.

Trump is reneging on all his promises and platforms, from "I'm going to build a wall....it's going to be YUGE!" to "I'm calling for a total and complete ban on Muslims!" to Obamacare mandates to H1B visas to minimum wage laws to taxes.
He'd been lying through his teeth and his idiot supporters have lapped it all up. Now that he's obliterated all his GOP competition, the truth comes out.
"Oh, those were nothing more than suggestions...I didn't really mean it.'
He's like a guy hoping to get laid on a Saturday night, and the Trumpeters are like lonely and desperate old spinsters at the bar.
"You're the most beautiful woman I've ever seen! Of course I'll still respect you in the morning. Of course I'll wear a condom. Of course I'll call you!"
Then, just before daybreak, he slinks out with his shoes held in his tiny hands, leaving her a fake number to a pizzeria and a dose of chlamydia.

Trump started this campaign as a challenge to the Republican party and basically as a joke. He said anything and everything he wanted, and never expected to become the candidate.
Now that things are getting real, he actually has to stop and think about what the job really means and what is actually possible.
