That would be a risky move I think, we would end up with the Conservatives winning the next election for sure if we did that as they would promise to stop it.
Yep, we just had an election that the Liberals were lucky to win (new leader, Trump scaring people, Conservative leader seeming to be too much like Trump, conservatives ahead by 20% back in December…) but it’s a minority and could be toppled at any time with a vote from the Conservatives and another party so deciding to welcome US residents as refugees when we’re in the middle of an immigration crisis would lead to a Conservative government it’s 100% sure.
That’s definitely the case right now, but I’m wondering if that could change if the danger of remaining in the U.S. raised to the point where it couldn’t be ignored.
But like I said, there are methods which are illegal but morally defensible, too.
Honestly I would bet money that it has already formed to a degree. With countries this close culturally? Would expect there are several independent groups already. Of course they won’t advertise themselves on social media or anywhere public for that matter.

Stop how? Close the borders for people trying to get in AND out?
By saying they won’t be accepted as refugees anymore and will be turned around if they show up at a crossing.

excellent, I have no escape, back to the original plan of smoke a joint and wait to die
Not legal, but I could see an underground railroad forming again, for vulnerable people in the U.S. fleeing oppression.
Two weeks hiding in Canada and anyone can ask for refugee status but I’m pretty sure anyone with US citizenship would be refused
