My question is :Why would you want to come here if you believe we will be begging you (America ) to go there? I don't think most Canadians see themselves that way or headed to such a bleak future.

I actually believe you would be quite welcome and happy here if that is what you would like to do. On the whole, we really are trying to be a peaceful, welcoming and liveable nation.

When i have been to Canada, folks have been quite warm and welcoming. Your country's reputation on human rights is very inspiring, and your record re: Native Peoples is well more compassionate than the USA's.

Have been to Canada many times (live about 20 miles from the border). My Partner and i are your neighbors.
