The government of the United States is arbitrarily revoking permanent resident cards and visas, coercing law firms and attacking the courts, and straight out disappearing people to foreign prisons without even pretending to care about due process or their fate.
"Rather than looking to leave, the only effective exit strategy Americans should be considering is how to reclaim their democracy and re-establish the rule of law before it is too late."
I wish Canadians were watching more closely from a policy level, and trying to strengthen Canadian Democratic Institutions to avoid what happened to the United States Government from happening to the Canadian Government as well.
I don’t see any of the options on my ballot later this month offering any policies in that direction – only a focus on an individual person and the people around them, when these are clearly the inevitable result of systemic flaws.
Without reform, it is only a matter of time before Canada goes down the same route as the US already has.
