Nah man fuck that noise, the point is not appealing to conservatives who want more Americans up here, and by not getting it really you just are proving the point: more Americans moving to Canada in a surge will mean shifting Canada’s overton window to the right, as even well intentioned democrats are conservatives here.
And I would happily say send us your lefties but you need them, and because if you don’t fix this now, we’re pretty sure you are going to invade.
Yes, yes. Fix our shit but don’t move away from the shit because it’s our fault for being born here. We’re statistically more likely to be right leaning than any Canadian because most of us don’t even know what the overton window is, let alone pay attention to world news. Those of us who consider ourselves left leaning don’t recognize that the rest of the world considers us conservative.
I understand the logic you are pushing. It is perfectly reasoned, bargain basement NIMBY xenophobia. It’s grounded in a kernel of truth, self-convinced that it is completely divorced from racism, and completely ignorant of being an active participant in the shift to the right that it is so concerned with.
You are not stupid. Unfortunately the slide to the right isn’t purely a function of stupidity.
