There Is Another Trump Alternative: Canada

While Trump talks about building walls along the Mexican border, it is a potential one in the north that American should be concerned about.

Yep despite the interesting comments I got from my last post, I am wading back into the Trump debate again.

But before I get to my topic, I just wanted to mention (because us lefties have to stick together) that I’m not the only one highlighting the fact that Trump’s policies are bad for the economy. Brett Arends a columnist at Marketwatch said in a piece Tuesday that Trump’s potential trade wars could be bad for stocks and bonds, but gold for gold – finally some good news for the gold bugs out there!

But I’m not here to blast The Donald, in fact I’m here to provide some relief – at least to for those who can’t stand the toxic environment in the U.S. political arena. You can now move up north to CANADA!

As a result of Super Tuesday, as Trump dominated state after state, the phrase “How to move to Canada” started trending on Google.

In fact one guy from Cape Breton, a small island that is part of the province of Nova Scotia on the east coast has created a website to lure Trump dodger to his neck of the woods. CNN even mentioned the website in a small piece.

While it sounds like a pipedream, you couldn’t find a better bang for your buck as the U.S. dollar is trading at multi-year highs against the Canadian dollar. Of course, if you are going to move there you might want to start using the term loonie.

Because of the exchange rate American can pretty much enjoy a 30% discount on everything Canadian: maple syrup, toques, toboggans, homo milk – nope it’s not what you think it is short for homogenized milk – and of course your very own igloo and dog sled team.

And you can enjoy free healthcare, eh.

Yep, you can be living the American dream – just in a slightly colder and friendlier place.

But you better act fast because there are rumors/rumours (you might want to brush up on your Canadian spelling too) that they are building a wall to keep out the Americas.
