Distressed by the second Trump administration, some American liberals are now moving, or contemplating a move, to Canada.
“ I’ve never had so many Americans call and say, ‘This isn’t my country,’ or, ‘I don’t know what to expect,’ or, ‘I’m afraid,’ or, ‘I’m worried,’” said immigration lawyer Heather Segal, in an interview with National Review.
Among those who’ve left the U.S. for Canada are Yale University professors Marci Shore, Timothy Snyder, and Jason Stanley. In a video essay for the New York Times titled “We Study Fascism, and We’re Leaving the US,” Shore appeared to compare Trump’s America to Nazi Germany, saying “The lesson of 1933 is: You get out sooner rather than later.”
But while American liberals are convinced they’ll find a safe haven from “fascism” north of the border, many Jewish Canadians, alarmed by the recent explosion of antisemitism, have drawn the opposite conclusion.
As Americans flee north, they’re headed south.
