I wonder how this might affect startups in Canada? Will it be easier to hire American programmers? Will more investors come up north?
How long does it take for paper work to be completed? 1-2 years? And than what? Trump will almost certainly mess up enough (which Dem have warned about) to be out of office after just 1 term. And will they go through the paper work to return to US?

#22People are not going to move. After every single election in France people say they will move to the US, or to germany, or to... I've never seen anyone moved anywhere. ps: parts of my family moved out of Hong Kong when it became Chinese again. But that was quite a different situation.
That's kind of funny. French people is the single biggest source of expats (if we ignore domestic helpers) in Hong Kong. Seems to be very common for French people to emigrate.

#24Granted, that only counts for fear of a semi-tyrannical president, not necessarily for economic concerns.

#25I liked Canada and it's sad that I have to live away from my family, but I would be a fool to stay otherwise.

Yeah, because it turns out you can't just waltz over the border to Canada and expect to be greeted with open arms as we do in the US.

Obviously I'm in a bit of a bubble (having done this myself) but a lot of my college friends left the country too.

#30Good riddance. Canada is great, until you realize you need the US healthcare system for any major surgery (unless you want to wait years) and you truly don't have the freedom of speech. Heh. The funny thing is I always win.
