No takers for this guy so far. A shame. · 9:19pm Nov 11th, 2016
So as many know, Trump has won the election. There's protests all over, there even was a call for a day off for some colleges for the students and teachers to "Recuperate from the horrible loss they've felt as a result". You know what I was told when I lost a game of baseball? Suck it up, it's just a game and there's always next time. These are college students and their teachers that can't deal with loss.
My favorite article so far however, has to be Mr Jones, owner of Jones Airways, offering free one-way flights to Canada to all those Celebrities that were saying that they'd go to Canada if Trump won. So far only one celebrity has responded, a comedian who said "it was just a joke". That's her excuse, fine. But what about everyone else? I mean come on, there's even a free in-flight lesson on how to sing O Canada.
From the various lists around, here's who I found is (should) now be looking to relocate:
Amy schumer
Lena Dunham
Barbra Streisand
Bryan Cranston
Miley Cyrus
Amy Schumer
Jon Stewart
Cher
Chelsea Handler
Samuel L. Jackson
Whoopi Goldberg
Neve Campbell
Keegan-Michael Key
George Lopez
Ne-Yo
Rev. Al Sharpton
Raven-Symoné
Rosie O'Donnell
Eddie Griffin
Chloë Sevigny
Natasha Lyonne
Omari Hardwick
Spike Lee
Speaking as a Canadian, we'll be happy to take Bryan Cranston, Jon Stewart, and Samuel L. Jackson because they're awesome. You can keep the rest.
4297663 What is Canadian immigration policy for non engineers/doctors/academics? Can really so much people move to Canada as they claimed? And I also heard Canada's economy is not so solid at this moment?

Information can be found here, assuming it does not get overloaded again. That actually happened on election night, the servers kept giving off 500 errors because of the insane load on them.
Though as to a short answer for your question... I suggest finding someone to marry. Having friends who went through that a few years ago, it's still arduous and expensive, but one of the only ways, really. Apparently our process is more stringent than the US.
There's been so much kneejerk emotion-fueled reactions to this election, it's quite sad to see just how pathetic some people are. Trump put on the Reality TV show character he needed to win the election, and then seems to be taking it off now that there's a job to do, so it's not the end of the world as so many liberals and democrats seem to think. There's so many reasons as to why and how he won, that it'll make for an interesting case study for decades to come on American Politics, Social Media, and probably a few other areas.
Also love how everyone wants to go to Canada, yet they don't seem to realize just how rigorous the process is. At least, for those not married to a Canadian Citizen, with family already living and with citizenship in Canada, or those with a ton of money. A lot of people simply would not be accepted since Canada wants useful members of society, with marketable skills, in order to improve their country. Their policies were an interesting read, to say the least.
Hopefully things calm down in a bit, and this extreme liberal nonsense that's been propagating so much that's a tad absurd (Safe spaces, anyone? Stupidest thing I've heard of in my life) are curbed back a bit, and people remember they still live in one of the best countries in the world. And that there's a chance to change things in four years.

Their immigration process is detailed, and if you don't fit them, they don't want you. I.E. No marketable skills, might as well stay put.
all the celebs can easily afford their own flights and I'm sure have their own pssports
4297688 if you believe he was just playing a character then why vote for him. People liked his contempt for minorities so why shouldn't they be afraid of those who voted for that?
I was bet that he will win a whole year before the election, Why? Because it was least probable/possible outcome and Universe or God just loves something like that.
. They are a"bit" hypocritical in my opinion.
Ps.I'm from Poland, so i'm look at election from the side.Though I must admit that we had similar situations in our recent elections (to parliament aka.PiS won).
And these protests are like: elections and democracy are good as long as we win, otherwise F#@k them all

I actually voted for Clinton, and even then I wasn't very happy about it. By character, I mean that after a fair bit of research, it becomes clearer to see just what Trump did to win. His entire history, as part of branding his name and businesses, he has repeatedly been on TV. Both with his own television shows (Reality TV) but also brands such as the WWE (numerous times) and other publicity stunts to bring about further recognition and reinforcement of his image. So, he created an image, and put together stances that were polarizing, at the cost of minorities, yes, but helped bring out the fear and anger of the middle class americans, who had mostly been forgotten. Is he himself racist? I truly doubt it.
So, while tensions are running high, as the character Trump put together to rally the American voters relied heavily on extreme, polarizing comments, I honestly think things will settle down a bit. I'm more concerned about a few policies and what the republicans will do with a house/senate majority than what Trump himself might do, or some of the folks who voted for him. You can already see the brilliant businessman showing himself once more, as literally the night of the election when he gave his acceptance speech, he was reserved, calm, and has been since. The biggest issue will be if he can bridge the gap he himself created, but you know what? In the end, it worked and got him where he wanted to be.
Probably strayed a bit off topic, but the end point is people need to put aside emotions to use their logic and brains to see what is coming. The guy's our next president, and protesting, causing property damage, or trying to immigrate to Canada isn't going to change that at all. Better to be optimistic and wish him well than to 'protest' him, cause property damage (ironically the damage is being done to areas where they voted for Clinton) and the like.
Well, I don't feel that bad. Yeah, I'm 12000km away, but still. It's not like he's a king with unquestionable power and no supervision.
My feeds have been basically this since the election:

I voted third party. But during the whole election I was thinking about south park
People always have to have something to freak themselves out over. It is the only thing keeping the news on the air anymore.
While I am disappointed Trump won, I am not surprised nor am I going to freak out about it. In a sense he is right about a few things, namely that our borders do need to be more secure, and there needs to be more of a push to create more jobs in the US.
I just find his personality annoying and feel he will be terrible at diplomacy, but fuck, if Jiang Zemin can somehow pull off his total asshole routine to quite literally everyone and still manage to come out somewhat smelling like roses. than Trump should be fine.
One thing to keep in mind, is that nearly all of what you've seen or heard about Trump was made up by people who wanted him to lose the election. He isn't quite the mystery candidate Obama was, but anyone claiming to actually know how he thinks or what he'll do once he's inaugurated is bordering on foolish.
Personally, I've found a copy of Trump's "The Art of the Deal" and have been reading it to try to get some measure of the guy. So far, I haven't found any serious problems in the way he describes people, which is generally a good sign.
4363017 The funniest thing I've found was those declaring him sexist, a bigot, or that he hates homosexuals. His campaign manager was Kellyanne Conway, the first woman to ever run a successful campaign. He also has appointed Peter Thiel, an openly gay man, as his tech advisor.
