More Americans applied for refugee status in Canada in the first half of 2025 than in all of 2024, and more than in any full year since 2019, according to data published on Thursday by Canada’s Immigration and Refugee Board.

Their share of total refugee claims – 245 of about 55,000 – is small and Canada’s acceptance of U.S. refugee claims has historically been low. Asylum-seekers from other countries crossing the land border from the U.S. are sent back under a bilateral agreement with the reasoning that they should apply for asylum in the first “safe” country they arrived in.

the ones trying to flee america, arnt the ones commiting fascism, and conservatives arnt the ones fleeing. canadas should stop thier snowbirds/ retirees from fleeing to the states, plus a significant a number of canadians emigrated to US and became part of the gop, or the right wing talking head so it goes both ways with this argument.(rafael cruz, a bunch of actors who are right wing,,,etc) right wingers come to AMERICA because australia and canada is normally too hostile for them to profit or to take significant amount of power without resistance, theres almost none in the USA for resistance against right wing takeover of governments.
