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.
Fuck that. If you are a MAGA targeted person in danger of imprisonment, abuse, or physical harm, and you have the means to get the fuck out…please get the fuck out.
If I was trans or a woman that doesn’t want to have children, or had trans kids or a daughter, I’d be planning my exit.
Think of the safety of you and yours. You don’t owe this country jack fucking shit, and don’t let anyone guilt you out of what is best for yours.
Not even just trans, but anyone in the LGBTQIA+ community is under threat, or likely will be in the future. I don’t blame them one bit for seeking refuge.
They mainly punch down and would never risk their own enjoyment. My wife and I are bi, but also dangerously close to being eligible to buy at The Villages (55+ only town). Plenty of those old MAGA hypocrites are down for a bi couples swap on a Saturday night and be at their megachurch on Sunday. LGB is all good with them, as long as they can’t marry. “Please go balls deep on my husband, but don’t you dare pledge vows to love and to hold another man, cause my imaginary friend in the sky says that’s only meant to be between men and women.”
You are O K for now*
Do not worry . They will come for you too.
Agreed.
Currently about to head to Germany as a stepping stone, with Canada as a backup, and the Netherlands as a stretch.
And no other country owes you shit either, we don’t want you cruel Americans coming to our civilised countries
the ones trying to flee america, arnt the ones commiting fascism, and conservatives arnt the ones fleeing. canadas should stop thier snowbirds/ retirees from fleeing to the states, plus a significant a number of canadians emigrated to US and became part of the gop, or the right wing talking head so it goes both ways with this argument.(rafael cruz, a bunch of actors who are right wing,etc) right wingers come to AMERICA because australia and canada is normally too hostile for them to profit or to take significant amount of power without resistance, theres almost none in the USA for resistance against right wing takeover of governments.
If they can get out, they must live with the knowledge of who they leave behind.
There is no moral stance to abandonment.
