So we dipping to KKKANADA YET?

I kinda don't have anything or anyone anyway, I'm a trans woman, I have..... documented interactions with law enforcement officers during protests and am in the Midwest. I don't have a passport. But I got high INT & CHR stats. And the grit of a White Sox girlie.

could you not just come in on a tourist visa and then try and live off the grid until shit hits the fan to the point where deporting you back to america becomes a lower priority? idk maybe thats unrealistic in this day and age but how hard could it be to find under-the-table or online work/roommates and get by for a while? Esp if you made some comradely friends online first before coming

ig if you think being a criminal on the run is preferable to ur current situation, but i don't really feel comfortable on advising on that lol

fair lol. gotta know the right people I guess to get advice on that. my thinking was that immigration "crimes" are not really the same as other crimes (in some countries at least). Pursued by different authorities, openly tolerated by most people, etc.

Like i said, Canadians view immigrants as the root of all ills. They super will not be chill if they learn you're an illegal immigrant regardless of race

I find that the racist shitbags tend to be the loudest. I don't think that most Canadians feel this way, we just hear the bigots most frequently because they won't shut the fuck up for five god damned minutes.

But you are correct, immigrants have been scapegoated a lot. Apparently the fact that the Canadian government hasn't been funding social services enough for decades is their fault.
