      Plenty of places for Americans to go, but they have to give up some of their luxuries and entitlement.

      If you face:

      • danger of torture
      • risk to your life
      • risk of cruel and unusual treatment or punishment

      If you enter Canada from the U.S.

      Your claim may not be eligible if you entered Canada from the U.S.:

      • at an official land border crossing
        or
      • anywhere along the border, including rivers, lakes and other waterways, and made a refugee claim less than 14 days after the day that you entered

        Canada and some European countries have accepted refugees from the US but from what I’ve read it’s incredibly rate and requires and extraordinary amount of proof that your life is under threat and you have no other choice than to move to those countries.

          I’d imagine that’s because of the STCA, but there seems to be a loophole where it doesn’t apply if you enter via water and don’t claim refugee status before 14 days.

          If I were really determined, I’d at least ask an immigration lawyer about it, and then I’d plan on taking a 2 week camping trip in Canada when I thought shit was likely to go down.

      Vlad can’t do shit in Western Europe. The bigger danger are our own right wing assholes pushed by Russia, American owned (social) media and TikTok
