More Americans applied for refugee status in Canada in the first half of 2025 than in all of 2024, and more than in any full year since 2019, according to data published on Thursday by Canada’s Immigration and Refugee Board.
Their share of total refugee claims – 245 of about 55,000 – is small and Canada’s acceptance of U.S. refugee claims has historically been low. Asylum-seekers from other countries crossing the land border from the U.S. are sent back under a bilateral agreement with the reasoning that they should apply for asylum in the first “safe” country they arrived in.
This racist, planet-destroying, hate-filled, slave loving, military-worshipping, corporations always before people, nobody gets healthcare, veterans-die-homeless, constitution-isn’t-real, abusive shit stain of a Federal government was never worth saving.
There are tiny windows of maybe 10-20 years here or there over the last quarter millennia where it might seem almost functioning. Then it’s right back to being trash.
Burning it down and starting over? Now you’re talking.
I don’t blame anyone for leaving, as long as they come back and help clean up. Everyone everywhere will be affected by the collapse, anyway.
