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.

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
