Recently
there has been a lot of discussion about Americans moving to Canada if Donald
Trump becomes President.
A cheeky website
called "Cape Breton if Trump Wins" has been launched, pitching the
lovely Nova Scotian island as a place of refuge should Donald Trump take the
White House: http://cbiftrumpwins.com/#intro.
I just read
a humourous article in The New Yorker
by Calvin Trillin who imagines the difficulties he might encounter should he
choose to immigrate to Canada: http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2016/04/11/fleeing-hypothetically.
I also came
across another tongue-in-cheek article entitled, “How to Move to Canada If
Trump Wins, By a Person Who Moved to Canada When Bush Won”: http://gawker.com/how-to-move-to-canada-if-trump-wins-by-a-person-who-mo-1762449326.
Now there’s even a list of book suggestions for
people thinking of becoming expatriates.
Tobias Carroll wrote “6 Books for Everyone Threatening to Move to Canada”
for Signature: “A number of fantastic books have been
written by those who, by choice or political necessity, spent an abundance of
time away from their place of birth. Distance from one’s homeland can be a
powerful muse for a writer.” See http://www.signature-reads.com/2016/03/6-books-for-everyone-threatening-to-move-to-canada/ for the list of “notable books following the
lives of people who’ve ventured far afield from the place where they began.”
