          Some of us literally won’t sadly. There are no guarantees, as the danger is quite real. We need to make sure as many make it as possible, but people are already suffering and being pushed to the brink. People will be deported or simply iced before long

    Don’t count your chickens just yet. That recent ruling by the UK supreme court came under the UK’s so called “centre-left” party’s watch. Along with their prime minister shamelessly agreeing with it.

    These people (politicians) are not to be fucking trusted until they’ve proven they can be trusted. If left / progressive / liberal governments around the world were actually effective at doing anything other than sitting with their thumbs up their asses and collecting bloated paychecks (and bribes / donations), we wouldn’t be seeing this rise of the right wing in the first place.

    I would suggest waiting just a little longer to see if these people are actually legit or if they’re planning on ‘fighting’ the right wing by doing exactly what the right wing wants.

      I disagree, as an American, if you are Trans and in America, get out. Canada is better, regardless of how things might shake out down the road, the Canadian road looks a lot brighter today than America’s.

    i’m front massachusetts and would love to either go to montreal, bc, or nfl/pei - the goal would be owning a small indie queer bookstore in montreal but i’m also in school to be a teacher <3

    well i ultimately want to go to ireland, norway, scotland/shetland (before the uk government became so shit) or denmark since for me it’s about the complete culture change to be someone completely different than my pretransition self but i also have two cats and am deathly afraid of flighting and travel so canada is easier :3

    Don’t be fooled a strong Federal government normally means that Provincial one will be fucking awful. Love to all my gays, lesbians and all in between.

    That’s a goal for me :/ i have given up any hope of things getting better here. I no longer believe i can be happy and live in this country. I do not feel safe in any capacity; my own health (mental or physical) can be weaponised against me by my own government, i do not have any trust that medical records will remain confidential.

    I don’t have any expectation of retirement or home ownership, but if i can get somewhere i can live as myself, have a reasonable life, and not be afraid of my own government, i would be happy.
