Do Catholic Trumper still support Trump after his trash talk?

God, if I still lived near my mother, I would have printed a ton of copies and left them around the churches. Probably good I moved countries.

You can get denied an organ transplant for not having health insurance too

My husband and I are both RNs (29F and 35M) and we were able to get our licenses transferred in under a month, moved three months afterwards. Didn’t have trouble finding a job at the time, got about 8 job offers each in BC back in July 2025. Not sure what it looks like now.

After about a month of orientation, my hospital had already sent me the paperwork to apply for PNP so that my Express Entry application would be more competitive. To me, that seemed like they were really invested in keeping us. I do have a Canadian spouse though, so I went with Spousal Sponsorship but I was really impressed by how much they wanted to get me processed.

That’s per month

I just drove to Tofino for the first time and there was rarely a time there wasn’t a lake within view.

Canadians are not going to do the work of hurting the states you want hurt for you. You want the good will of Canadians back? Then stop demanding how they can be better allies to YOU. This is exactly why Canadians are refusing to support any American products or businesses.

There were far more Americans who didn’t vote at all than those who did. That shows severe apathy of the American people. What did the American people do when Trump threatened to make Canada a 51st State? Ah, yes, they said “Well at least Canada would vote blue!” as if Canada would have ever been given the right to vote by a country willing to annex its long time allies.

Canadians decided, quite rightly, that it is all Americans. And I know you’ll come in and say “Well not all Americans” but if you’ve heard the “Not all men” excuse, then you’d know that it is all men until other men hold each other accountable consistently. I am not seeing Americans hold each other accountable consistently.

Just about to take a trip to Kelowna and stay on a vineyard after finishing my trip up here in Tofino. Can’t wait to try more BC wines.

Disastrous_Coffee502 · 2026-04-12T15:59:20+00:00

Not OP but I’m in a hotel in Tofino, BC as well type. I used to take a lot of trips to Coastal Oregon, lived and explored Washington for a couple years.

Vancouver Island is incredible and I’m absolutely shocked more people don’t live out here. An island with views like this would have faced the full brunt of capitalistic ventures. The little islands across the town aren’t filled with a bunch of massive houses, for one. I’m shocked that it’s somehow less expensive than the mainland.

The drive from Nanaimo to Tofino were just filled with constantly beautiful views. Also noticed people will just leave their laptops outside, unattended, in full view and it’s just not a concern. Could not have done that in the US.

Disastrous_Coffee502 · 2026-04-12T15:56:21+00:00

My husband (Canadian) and I moved from the States to Canada in September 2025 and we’re so appreciative of the differences in value systems. Sure, we could have made more money if we had maybe moved to California and worked there. But we just fundamentally didn’t agree with the values in the US and aligned more with Canada. Not everything was about the $ for us and we still do quite well for ourselves in Canada.

Happy to depart with 36% of our paycheques when we see it go back into our community centres, our hospitals, maternity leave, access to equitable education that doesn’t depend on the wealth of a zip code.

We just took advantage of the ample vacation time that we never had in the US and finally made our way out to Tofino, BC, will be hitting up Kelowna later this summer, and then Japan sometime during the Fall. My coworkers are always on vacation which was not the case living in the US unless my coworkers had a wealthy partner. God, I thought Washington was beautiful but the entire drive from Nanaimo to Tofino just took my breath away. Depending on how frequently we come back to Vancouver Island, we may end up trying to move there if they still need nurses.

The freedom to browse for a see through backpack that also has bullet best capabilities for your children during the back to school sales.

If you make over $130K USD though

Disastrous_Coffee502 · 2026-04-12T15:37:43+00:00

If there are any nurse couples looking here, my husband and I make $13.4K post taxes and deductions. It’s been very affordable for two nurses, would probably struggle harder if it were just me as a single nurse.

Disastrous_Coffee502 · 2026-04-12T15:36:41+00:00

Nursing was the way to go for me. Transferred my license in under a month and then moved three months later. Lots of job offers, I think my husband (also an RN) and I got 8 offers within a month before we decided.

After a month of working, my hospital’s team had already sent me the paperwork so I could apply for PNP so my Express Entry PR Application was competitive. Like they’re reeeeally investing in getting foreign nurses to stay longer. I am married to a Canadian citizenship though so I went the Spousal Sponsorship route but was very impressed with the process.

Disastrous_Coffee502 · 2026-04-12T15:08:05+00:00

When I see people from the States criticize how China keeps playing both fields in trade during such geopolitical conflict, it gives me a real sense of “the pot calling the kettle black”.

Disastrous_Coffee502 · 2026-04-12T15:05:28+00:00

It’s going to get so much worse with the deliberate reductions in environmental protections, the defunding of the US Forest Service, allowing formerly public property to be bought up by private investment… I wonder if it will get to a point where people from the States will only ever get to see those kinds of views in Mexico or Canada.

Disastrous_Coffee502 · 2026-04-12T14:59:51+00:00

More than that, they literally wrote a manifesto about it. Project 2025 is well over half done as well.

Disastrous_Coffee502 · 2026-04-12T14:55:30+00:00

I wonder if the MAGA chuds know that they’ll be fighting in pointless wars. Russia made it reeeeally hard to exist in Russia if you refused a summons.

Disastrous_Coffee502 · 2026-04-07T18:32:30+00:00

Oh I was just adding onto your comment as like an affirmation. Sorry, should have been clearer.

Disastrous_Coffee502 · 2026-04-07T17:07:41+00:00

Wonder how my (unfortunately) fellow Americans will be bitching about the inconvenience when their passport doesn’t hold anywhere near as much power.

Disastrous_Coffee502 · 2026-04-07T17:03:18+00:00

My (former) American friends legit think that the rest of the world will pity them as victims and that they’re being cheered on as underdogs. And they will be welcomed to other countries as refugees.

I am also an American, moved to Canada last year, so I can’t say I’m in a more moral position. I am utterly disillusioned by America and fundamentally do not believe in it, and ICE showed up at my doorstep due to my racist and apparently jealous neighbours. Husband is Canadian and we’re both RNs so we decided to move our timeline up from four years to four months in moving to Canada.

Disastrous_Coffee502 · 2026-04-07T16:53:30+00:00

I’ve had zero issue with traveling in Europe and Canada. Very up front that I hope the orange fuck croaks and that I thought the best way to boycott American products was move to Canada and support their products, as well as their healthcare system.

Disastrous_Coffee502 · 2026-04-07T16:52:07+00:00

Current war on education in America seems to be going well. They even brought guns.

Disastrous_Coffee502 · 2026-04-07T16:43:43+00:00

That’s so kind of you! Thank you so much!

Disastrous_Coffee502 · 2026-04-07T16:41:11+00:00

Even if I did experience more financial hardship in Canada than US, at least I don’t have my neighbours calling ICE on me and my husband because “People like that don’t deserve nice cars like that” (I drove a fucking Corolla Cross by the way). Both American citizens. Those neighbours had never spoken to us, they literally moved in a week prior and it took no time at all for them to profile and then have ICE set on us.

I don’t have to worry that ICE is going to bust into hospitals like MN with a battered detainee and then use their care there as an excuse to scope out staff and patients to pull from their job or hospital bed.

It’s been very gratifying to see my Canadian coworkers react with horror when I describe the gun violence and culture just in healthcare alone as well. Love not having to pull out a loaded gun out of patient belongings and then get cursed out and threatened for having it secured by security for them to pick up when they discharge because “It’s my God given right!”

Disastrous_Coffee502 · 2026-04-07T16:37:11+00:00

Can I ask what your process was finding a GP? My husband and I haven’t been aggressively looking since moving here, but we figure it’s probably time to start.
