Canada also needs to spin up a full on poaching program and asylum program.
Any US citizen with a fairly clean criminal record (with anything legal in Canada ignored, IE possession of weed would be ignored as that's legal here) ca apply for immediate Canadian citizenship as long as they renounce America
Priority given to anyone with any form of valuable skills, degrees, tickets, certificates, etc
If you can build houses, you get in and can start work ASAP.
We need to simply poach the US's valuable workforce at a time like this, which instantly will drag down their overall economy.
All your best scientists? Teachers? Engineers? Developers? Architects? Plumbers? Electricians? Doctors, nurses, surgeons? You name it, we should poach it right now on a fast track, watch as the US suddenly watches huge swaths of its work force evaporate.
Follow up with just cutting off trade with the US for as long as it takes. Completely sever their energy, oil, food, lumber, etc supply.
The entire north will quickly dry up as suddenly food skyrockets in price.
Finally end respecting of US patents and trademarks. Start quickly making our own versions of drugs patented in the US, but way cheaper.
Want our cheap drugs and better medical systems? Our poaching asylum system is ready for you.
Take meeeeee. I have some carpentry experience.
Visited Nova Scotia for work several years ago. I'd go back in a heartbeat! Sign me up, and it'd get me out of Alabama.
That's an evil idea - I love it. (As an American)
I'd take that deal.
Honestly, if we can un-fuck housing then this is a great idea. Problem is I really don't believe we can un-fuck housing at this point.
