What a lot of us want to know is will we be able to apply for political asylum if our government goes off the deep end? Will the Canadians close the border to those of us who are seeking a safe haven. Since I live close to the border, fleeing to Canada is an attractive option if things get bad enough - especially since my husband and I are both skilled and could find work and we are close to several border crossings. Will Canada do the humane thing?
