Canadians are so desperate to move to US they'd swim there and liken liberal nation to old dog that needs shot By BETHAN SEXTON FOR DAILYMAIL.COM Published: 16:13 EST, 27 December 2024 | Updated: 16:24 EST, 27 December 2024 e-mail 3 View comments Canadians are becoming so disillusioned with their liberal country some said they would happily swim to the US if they could gain legal entry. The fed-up Canadians complained their country has become 'stagnant' under Prime Minister Justin Trudeau . Trudeau was recently trolled by president-elect Donald Trump who referred to him as the 'Governor' of Canada and joked the country could become a 51st state. And earlier this week, Trump claimed he'd slash Canadians' income taxes by 60 percent if they became part of the US. While Canadian officials brushed off the comments, more than 10 percent of their constituents would support the drastic action, The Free Press reports. Among them is 33-year-old Ryan Hemsley from Vancouver, who described his home country as a place where ambition goes to die. 'I've lost all hope for Canada,' he said. 'If Trump were to say you've got 24 hours of amnesty, whoever gets here, gets here, I'm telling you, I'm not even bringing my car. I'm swimming across.' Hemsley has no plans to enter the US illegally, but longs to relocate. 'You wake up and survive,' he said. 'There's no opportunity for growth. You occasionally go out for dinner with friends, have a good night, but then you go home, sleep, and do it all over again. Ryan Hemsley from Vancouver, is one of many Canadians who would like their country to join the US. He described his home country as a place where ambition goes to die. 'As much as I love Canada, Canada becoming the 51st state of the United States would rejuvenate me.' Taylor Simone, a 32-year-old film and TV professional also from Vancouver, described how she has been forced to pick up a second job moonlighting as a waitress to support herself. 'If Canada were to become the 51st state, I wouldn't protest it too much,' she said. 'If I had the economic ability to buy a house in Canada, I would never have come to this point.' In Canada, the average income is around 73 percent of that in the US and the economy has remained largely flat over the last decades, in contrast to its neighbor's which has consistently grown. Noah Meyer-Delouya, 27, has already made the move from Ottawa to New York where he works as an accountant. 'Canada right now is like a super-old dog that can't walk,' he said. 'You want to put it out of its misery because it's functioning so poorly in so many ways. 'Canada would be better off currently as the 51st state and I say that with a lot of sadness and disappointment.' He added that a fear of anti-Semitism in Canada has also fueled his decision to leave. Film and TV professional Taylor Simone, 32, believes she would be economically better off if Canada became a 51st state His comments were echoed by Barbara Murphy, 75, who lives on a farm in Milton. She complained that her 16-year-old grandson is struggling to find entry level work. 'My grandchildren would have far more opportunities than they do in this country,' Murphy said as she also bemoaned the lack of patriotism in Canada. 'I wouldn't fight for Canada because no one fights for it. Canadians are a kept people,' Murphy added. 'They have no idea who they are. 'The Americans are revolutionary people. They fought for their freedoms. They will tear s**t down if it’s bad and build it back up. We don’t. We patch, patch, patch.' Several Canadians reported frustration with the vaccine mandates in certain parts of the country. LisaMarie Nicholson, 56, and Kori Anstey, 48, say their husbands both lost their jobs after refusing to take the vaccine. Nicholson in particular railed against the outsize role of the sprawling Canadian government, which is the country's largest employer and makes up 40 percent of the economy. Noah Meyer-Delouya has already made the move to New York City and says he feels safer from anti-semitism 'It's almost as if what the government wants is for people to be totally dependent upon them in every facet of their lives,' Nicholson, from Toronto, said. 'They want to be able to give you the handout so you don't feel that you can take care of yourself. 'They want to be able to control the medical system so that you are at their mercy when you're not well. 'They want to be able to tell you what to do and when to do it and how to do it. And there's a big component of this country who wants that.' Controversial Canadian psychologist, author and former professor Jordan Peterson claimed he is fleeing his home country for America, slamming Canada for being on the brink of becoming a 'totalitarian hell .' Peterson, 62, revealed his plans to come to the US, citing discontent with Canada's government and ongoing conflict with the College of Psychologists of Ontario. 'The government in Canada at the federal level is incompetent beyond belief and it's become uncomfortable for me in my neighborhood in Toronto,' Peterson said on his daughter Mikhaila's podcast earlier this month. Even former minister of public safety Stockwell Day admitted he can understand the desire to defect. The debate has been ignited after Donald Trump joked about making Canada a 51st state if the country can't deal with his proposed 25 percent tariffs Prime Minister Justin Trudeau reportedly laughed off the comments but more than 10 percent of Canadians would like to explore the option 'People are tired,' he said. 'They are despairing that the political scene might not change significantly enough that the long-term prospect of staying in Canada looks positive.' Within Canada there has long been a separatist movement which would seek to establish an independent French-speaking nation of Quebec. While autonomy is the preferred option, many feel a union with the US could be a welcome compromise. The separatist discussion was reignited by Trump's comments to Trudeau when the two met at Mar-a-Lago following his election win. Trump claimed he would slap tariffs on all products being imported from the neighboring country until illegal immigration and drugs coming across the border stopped. During their meeting, Trudeau reportedly told Trump 25 percent tariffs on Canada would kill his country's economy. That's when Trump told the prime minister if the country can't surviving ripping off the U.S., perhaps Canada could become the 51st state. According to Fox's sources, Trudeau and others at the table responded to his comment with nervous laughter.

Tyler Huntley completed 22 of 26 passes for 225 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions, and ran for another score to lead the Miami Dolphins to a 20-3 victory over the host Cleveland Browns on Sunday in Cleveland, Ohio. Huntley made his fourth start of the season, and did so in place of Dolphins' injured starting quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, who sat out with a hip injury. With the win, the Dolphins (8-8) kept their playoff hopes alive heading into week 18. Miami must beat the New York Jets next week and needs the Denver Broncos to lose to the Kansas City Chiefs in order to secure the AFC's final wild-card playoff berth. Cleveland (3-13) lost its fifth in a row and seventh in its past eight games. The Dolphins were also missing wide receiver Jaylen Waddle due to a wrist injury. But Tyreek Hill gave Huntley a reliable target in Miami's passing game as he caught all nine passes thrown his way for 105 yards as the Dolphins won for the sixth time in eight games. Leading 13-3 in the fourth quarter, the Dolphins sealed the outcome when Huntley connected with Jonnu Smith on a 7-yard touchdown pass with 3:38 to go. Smith tied the Dolphins' franchise record for receiving touchdowns by a tight end with his seventh of the year. Dorian Thompson-Robinson started for the Browns, but struggled and completed only 24 of 47 passes for 170 yards, no touchdowns and an interception. Jerry Jeudy led the Browns with a career-high 12 catches for 94 yards. Emanuel Ogbah's strip sack of Thompson-Robinson and fumble recovery by Da'Shawn Hand ended an advance into Dolphins' territory with 5:29 left in the third quarter. Trailing 13-3, Cleveland had a chance to make it a one score game early in the fourth quarter. But instead of attempting a field goal at the Dolphins' 3-yard line, the Browns went for it on fourth and goal and failed when Jalen Ramsey deflected a pass intended for Jeudy in the end zone. The Browns went 0 for 4 on fourth downs. Dolphins left tackle Terron Armstead suffered a knee injury and was ruled out in the second half. Cleveland lost a key defender during the game when cornerback Denzel Ward left the game with a right shoulder injury and did not return. --Field Level Media

The states that saw the most active attacks against election certification two years ago certified the results of this year’s races without controversy this week, prompting the Arizona secretary of state to proclaim that “election denialism” is a thing of the past. Others said they weren’t so sure. Certification proceeded normally this year in part because Donald Trump won the presidential race, quieting his supporters after he had spent the campaign making unsubstantiated claims that he could lose only through widespread cheating . The statewide certification votes Tuesday in Nevada and New Mexico follow a vote Monday to certify the results in Arizona. In all three states, the certification process was tumultuous during the 2022 midterms when Democrats won most statewide offices. Those controversies followed attempts by Trump and his allies to halt or challenge certification in Michigan, Georgia and other battleground states in 2020, disrupting what until then had been a routine administrative process. This year, some who have been the most vocal in questioning the integrity of elections have instead been celebrating Trump’s victory. “The results are being accepted in the manner that they are, in part, because those who have been eroding trust or casting doubt on the integrity of U.S. elections have a result they feel good about,” said David Levine, a former local election official in Idaho who now advises on election administration issues. “Hopefully we can get back to a place where Americans can feel confident in the results even if it’s one they disagree with.” On Tuesday, Nevada and New Mexico certified their statewide results with little discussion. During Monday’s certification in Arizona, Secretary of State Adrian Fontes reflected on the lack of controversy this year. “I think the age of election denialism, for all intents and purposes, is dead,” he said. Sitting next to Fontes, state Attorney General Kris Mayes, a fellow Democrat, said she was more skeptical. Her Republican opponent in 2022 spent two years challenging his loss . “Do I think election denialism is dead? No, I don’t,” she said. “We’ll see over the next couple of election cycles what happens, but I don’t think we’re there yet.” Public confidence in elections has dropped since Trump challenged his loss in 2020 and made false claims of widespread fraud, particularly among Republicans . Some Republicans began targeting the certification process, when local and state boards certify the results after local election officials provide them with the final tally of votes. A firestorm erupted in Georgia over the summer when the state election board, with a new pro-Trump majority, attempted to politicize the certification process with changes later blocked by the courts. While certification battles did not surface after the Nov. 5 election , a vocal segment within the Republican Party remains deeply skeptical of election processes, particularly of the availability of mail ballots and the use of ballot scanners to tally votes. During a forum Monday on the social platform X led by the group Cause of America, the group's director expressed doubt about voting equipment. Shawn Smith, who also is a retired Air Force colonel, argued the certification process suppresses legitimate concerns and goes against “the sovereignty of the people.” Although not as widespread as four years ago, this sentiment did surface sporadically at the local level this month. In Washoe County, Nevada, which includes Reno and voted narrowly for Vice President Kamala Harris, the vote to certify the results was 3-1 with one abstention. Commissioner Jeanne Herman has consistently voted against certification and did not make a public comment about her vote this year. Commissioner Mike Clark, a staunch Trump supporter who had also previously voted against certification, said he would abstain and left before the vote. “I am not an election denier and clearly the person I wanted to win, won this state,” Clark said before leaving the meeting. “However, that does not mean that all the protocols were followed and that we can truly certify the election.” Such skepticism, whether in Nevada or elsewhere, leaves the door open to certification disputes during future elections. The questioning of election results isn't limited to Republicans. Even though Harris quickly conceded after losing all seven presidential battleground states , online posts among her supporters continue to raise concerns about her loss. One Reddit community that has amassed 23,000 members features a steady drumbeat of Democrats scrutinizing a result they can’t believe is real. Some posting in the group have issued calls to contact Harris and her running mate to ask them to demand a recount or otherwise object to the outcome. Among the battlegrounds, Michigan was among those where Trump and his allies pressed to halt certification of the 2020 election for Democrat Joe Biden amid false claims of fraud and manipulation. Two Republican members of the Wayne County Board of Canvassers who initially opposed certification eventually relented. The state board of canvassers eventually voted to certify, even after one Republican member abstained. This year, the state board voted unanimously on Nov. 22 in favor of certifying and praised the state’s election workers. In Georgia, Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger certified his state’s results on Nov. 22. Four years ago, the Republican state official was facing immense pressure from Trump and his allies to investigate their unsubstantiated claims of fraud. Also certifying results Tuesday, and doing so unanimously, was the state Board of Elections in North Carolina. It was the only presidential battleground state won by Trump in 2020 — and the only one where he and his allies didn't make claims of fraud. ___ Cassidy reported from Atlanta.
