There's a chance that me and my sister might be fleeing to Canada if the situation gets bad enough even in the safer parts of the US, but even then, I know Canada has its own growing problems with fascism, and I'm looking into backup plans if things get bad enough there as well.

At the end of the day though, we may just run out of places we can run to.

The fascists in Canada are just a vocal minority.

A minority, but they are loud and have influence. I still remember the convoy that shut down the country for weeks.

The Convoy terrorized a city for weeks. Maybe shut down certain aspects of that city. The rest of Canada was largely unaffected.

It still was a scary situation to me, and reminded me a lot of the Jan 6 insurrection. It wasn't just Ottawa either that was terrorized though. There were smaller convoys that terrorized towns in Alberta, and there were several border crossings that were blocked by truckers.

Canada may be a more tolerant place than America, but it still faces a lot of the same vulnerabilities that we face here from being overtaken by a militant minority.

Same. Tbh I fully expect that if I tried however, they'd just turn me back and cite the legal agreement that basically states that Americans can't be refugees.
