If Trump became the president of the United States I would probably consider leaving the country.

I looked at it during the Bush presidency. My conclusion was I'd qualify for immigrating to Canada if I had a job offer. At least back then there was a points system. Having a college degree in a technical field was enough for me to qualify. Even still it wouldn't be easy. Moving to Portland might be easier and comforting to a degree.

Wait until the next Canadian election before you move here. If Step-Hen Harper gets in again, you might prefer Portland. I hear there's good coffee there cgod

Portland certainly seems a nice oasis among the crazy. Seattle is too, but to a lesser extent. The "libertarian" Amazonians here are nearly as bad as the "bleeding hearts" who complain about them.

The only reason I say that is because I'm hispanic (little bit of eastern European, but negligible). If Donald Trmup was voted into office off of the policy he holds on immigration, to me that states that there are large enough groups in the U.S. that really don't like Hispanic people. It would warrant at least a search for better alternatives.

The best was when conservatives said that if obamacare was instituted they'd move to Canada.

I would never push myself to absolutes like that. The "probably" and "consider" are there for a reason haha
