Consider attracting Americans who hate Trump and want to leave.
No
Why? If they want to be here, they can apply like everyone else. I don’t want taxpayer funding going to some stupid advertising scheme to convince “the good ones” to come here.
Canada is only the size of California population wise. If you want to be able to defend Canada and grow the economy, you need more people.
Sure, and we have lots of immigrants already, including from the US. We take in around 300,000-500,000 immigrants every year. Why should Canada specifically do (and spend) more so that we can get more Americans to come here? I know Americans want that, but why should we do it? I don’t see a benefit.
We’re even passing legislation lately that makes it so that we take in fewer people. Why would we change that for Americans?

I’m not talking about conservatives, I’m talking about the people who voted against him. Or, do you hate all Americans, even the ones who support you?
this has “with us or against us “ energy
I feel it’s never going to happen so it’s safe to fantasize about, but nationalizing all of the US assets in Canada and seeing Trump implode would be a fun tv show to watch
We need an ecological destiny, not an economic one. I’m glad Carney got elected as he is the best to negotiate with Trump but I fear it’ll ultimately be more of the same old, same old.
‘Economic destiny’
“This will be an incredibly exciting time as we take control of our economic destiny to create a new Canadian economy,” Carney said.To this end, he promised to abolish existing trade barriers between Canadian provinces by July 1 to expand the economy, and to strengthen trade with “reliable allies”.
this will be an exciting time indeed; I’m eager to see how this develops and Canada’s economy decouples from the USA’s and flourishes in spite of it
I like the idea of decoupling from the US. I’m concerned by the idea of putting “economic growth” (which usually means growing the wealth of the wealthy) above everything else.
What we need is to grow our economy from the bottom up, but doing that involves making moves that work against the interests of the wealthy.
