I think now would be the best time for this because it's such an easy sell.

The only condition would be the ensure a minimum 4 year term, but you would likely have a lot of people willing to stay even if the presidency changed hands back to the democrats.

And it would play to the inconvenient truth that a nation is built on immigration and our borders are always open.

A 5% discount for first time buyers should be sufficient.

What do you guys think?

The uber rich Yanks have homestead cottages all over the bay ( georgian bay, Ont ) here as it is
they have been here since the 1880s

Re vancouver:
just note the housing situation there, and how that effects the locals
same as here on the BAY
only crooks can afford the prize digs now that their money has driven the prices to the MOON

What a stoopid thread.
ah, your spelling edit negates my snappy comeback
of course its a "stooped" thread
thread can't stand up straight all by itself...

No one can be uber rich and yes, it's both stooped and stoopid.

Yup you go right ahead and sell your house for 5 % less than market value ,but don't expect anyone else to .

Does your idea count for conservatives fleeing a Clinton presidency ?

You can double the prices and the ones escaping the hangman's noose would be the ones running. Now you would cheer that even though they would continue their criminal ways?? Not the sharpest knife in the fork drawer are you??

You could double the price and they would still gobble them up. You do know it would be the ones facing a hangman's noose if they stayed so you want them in Canada so they can continue their criminal ways?? Really??

They were still making a lot of money while that was going on. Trump won't let that continue. The us has been fuc*ed since the creation of the Fed in 1913. All the calamities mentioned in this clip could have been arranged by the Rothschild bankers.
