If you watched Tuesday night’s presidential debate thinking it was the height of civility, you’re probably in the minority. For many Americans, it was enough to trigger a potential mass exodus.

Following a debate derailed by interruptions, people speaking over each other, and insults hurled back and forth, Google reported a peak number of searches for “How to apply for Canadian citizenship” in the US.

3. The northern shores of Lake Superior and Lake Huron look sparsely populated

Some of it is National/Provincial Patk, but in 30 years, the climate up there will probably be like Chicago's.

As for me, I'd prefer the making the Republicans move to warm-weathered, theocratic dictatorship like Saudi Arabia or the UAE, since that's what they seem to want.

5. If you're retired and go ex-pat

Be sure that Trump will ban any SS or other pension or IRA or 401K payments leaving the country. That money will be used to build the Wall. Then when you return broke, Barr will send you to a re-education camp
