Religious right, you're moving to Canada if Obama gets reelected?

If Obama gets elected, and there's a mass immigration of fundies, I'm moving down to the States.

I honestly have never heard anyone say that they are "moving to Canada if Obama is re-elected"

Are there actually people saying this in the USA?

Oh god, oh god, oh god. No, no, no, noooooooooooooooooooooooo.

Tell them that we are secular and more atheist than the US. Please.

Perhaps they would be more comfortable in a theocracy. I understand that housing is cheap in Iran or Somalia or somewhere where they hold the Lord in high esteem.

While there is currently no law on the books regarding abortion, I'm guessing you would be hard pressed to find a doctor who would perform one in the late stages. Any Canadian medical experts care to chime in?

I think you're mistaken on the 45% atheist thing. If you got that from the 2001 census, that was a "% change". It's 16.5% who have no religious affiliation.

Funny because Mexico, in theory, is more of a fit for the religious right, yet not too many people wanting to go there.

Why do you guys think the religious right is moving to Canada if Obama gets reelected?

Edit: I know Democrats said this back when Bush was running for re-election, but I've never heard about Republicans threatening to move to Canada. I really think OP made this up, or is just really confused.

I had a fundie telling me that he was moving to Costa Rica if Obama gets re-elected.

I think I want to see a second term for O just to see these peoples heads explode.

Speak for yourself. I'm moving to Canada if Romney gets elected.

Alexwearshats · 5 months

I'm pretty damn sure Canada is not ~45% atheist. In the 2001 Census, there was little over 16% of people with no religious affiliation. And 'No religious affiliation' certainly doesn't mean they're atheist. So unless in those 11 years there has been a huge shift, which I very highly doubt, you may want to review your statistic. If you have a source (Statistic Canada?) Please send it my way.

Canada is about 75% christian so bullshit on your statistics. Our christian's just don't have the holier than thou, sense of self entitlement

Hey leftwing Americans: we're not a utopia; we're not the system you're proposing; we're not a magical talking point generator; we don't confirm all your preconceptions. We're an independent country with unique problems and features. Stop pretending you know or care about us and generally shut the fuck up about us.

Wait. Abortions have no time limit in Canada? None? Children who would be able to survive with care can be taken out of the body? Are they then actively killed or just let to die?

Where I live, abortions are legal until the 22nd week of pregnancy. Infants that are removed that late would be able to survive with proper care, but are just left to die. (According to an interview with a nurse, conducted by one of my country's most recognised newspapers)

And in Canada there is no time limit? That does not seem very nice...

Canadian here. If you think we have 45% atheism, you're gonna have a bad time.

whatwatwhutwut · 5 months

Where the fuck did you get your statistics on the percentage of atheists in Canada?

16.5% as of last census had no religious affiliation.

While the census data is clearly dated, I'd take Statistics Canada's word over some graphic on r/atheism.

memory_hole · 5 months

The CIA World Factbook lists the percentage of non-believing Canadians at 16%.

Just saying . . .

You understand that if all of the religious right in the US moved into your country, they would overrun your population and ruin your country right? America's population is around 330 million. Canada is at about 34 million. They do have their numbers.

Not only are most of the facts on this picture wrong, I've never heard of anyone threatening to move to Canada if the US got "Too liberal".

As a Canadian, it offends me that this nonsense has made it to the #1 spot on all of reddit.

Dear America, we have our own lunatics to deal with. Please don't sent us more.

Please send them to Australia instead, since 1) this is what Australia is for and 2) They'll be eaten by spiders within minutes of arriving anyways, so no harm done.

I've been trying to immigrate my wife to Canada for almost a year now. If they really want to move to Canada they better get their stuff together and start the process now, otherwise it'll almost be time for another election before they are allowed to move (if they are allowed to move). In that time, they might accidentally see that Obama doesn't destroy their country and his radical ideals about health care and the economy are actually, slowly, helping to improve it. We can't have that, they have to remain forever ignorant, it is the only way.

megselphie · 5 months

Canadians in general are quite religious. We just have more of a "we don't care what you believe in" mentality. Except for the door-to-door christians

The thought of Americans moving into Canada scares me. Were so much better, if they come here standard of living will go down. Lets just wait till Canada stops selling water to the States since they really don't have any of their own.

The hilarious part is that they'll be right at home with the current Canada.

They gave near dictatorial power (admittedly there may have been some voter fraud) to a man who has:

Actively moved to remove science from lawmaking, opting to put in right-wing religious viewpoints into advisory positions instead
Actively dismantled scientific institutions (such as the Canadian version of NOA)
Got the Queen to shut down the publicly elected parliament several times to save his own party.
Shut down social programs for the poor to give tax breaks to the rich.
There are more items I am sure I've forgotten.

The sad part is that Canadians don't seem to overly upset about all of this. As long as there's cake and carnival I guess. Now back to playing a JRPG...

If this has a shred of factual information in it, then the religious right in America are dumber than I could have ever imagined.

Stay the fuck out of Canada, we don't want you. Sorry for swearing.
