Americans are living in storage units because of the cost of living

@swirlie Yup I'd pass too if I could lol

@SatanBurger
Well, you can pass if you want to!

@swirlie I don't have enough money to move if I wanted lol and I read that the laws for US citizens are different when asking for asylum in other countries or just emergency citizenship. To do that, a US citizen has to have the US's permission to go over to Canada in the first place but we never planned on running from the US itself, so the law is set up to basically have to ask fascists to leave lol.

@SatanBurger
Interesting what you say here because I was recently watching a story on TV about an American couple who came to Canada to live and the one point the girl made very clear during the interview was that an American cannot just renounce their American citizenship, which is what the couple were wanting to do. She said that American citizenship is something of a permanence that Americans are not free to cast to the wind if born in the USA, which clearly was not sitting well with her considering they had no intention of ever returning to the US.

What they ended up with was 'dual citizenship' with Canada and the US. Would you consider going for dual citizenship yourself?

@swirlie I would consider dual citizenship, I read up on that too and it was just as hard. Of course that was for Mexico so I'm not entirely sure if it would be the same in Canada. I'll have to look that up

@SatanBurger
Have you ever been to Canada before?

@swirlie No I wish lol

@SatanBurger
I travel a lot on business and in the past, I traveled extensively to nautical port locations in the western, eastern and southern shores of the USA. What astounded me the most about the USA and the people I met there who were upwardly mobile people, was how many Americans I met whom had never set foot in Canada in their entire lives... and I mean, not even for a dirty weekend in Toronto for example, which is only 35 miles north of Buffalo New York! I mean, even Canadians from Toronto drive across the Canada/US border on Friday nights to have a dirty weekend in Buffalo NY!

@swirlie I might do that lol
