That's actually a good idea. Russia likes taking in political asylum seekers from western countries, makes them look better to their own people if they have foreigners talk shit about democratic countries.
Give it a couple more weeks or months, when a lot more people have had the 'pleasure' of feeling Trudeau's fist clenching around their wallets and/or the RCMP knock on their door at midnight for thoughtcrime, online or otherwise. Guy's lost the popular vote twice in a row and nevertheless insists on acting like he has the Mandate of Heaven, and he's done literally nothing but double down & tyrannize in the most self-righteous, self-fellating ways imaginable while all the provincial premiers are running away from COVID authoritarianism (and authoritarianism in general) at breakneck speed because they can tell where the wind's blowing. I firmly believe that this is far from over, and the tighter Trudeau squeezes, the harsher the blowback will be.
The problem is, said blowback may end up resulting in other western countries sending troops into Canada to "restore democracy"; i.e. keep one of their fellow oligarchs in power, and disabuse their peasants of the notion that they can ever hope to rise up against them.
I'm well aware, discussed it while wargaming an entirely hypothetical populist uprising with some of my friends last year actually, on an occasion where Doug Ford was so kind as to relax COVID restrictions on indoor dining (temporarily, back then he hadn't been spooked by the Freedom Convoy and the challenge of getting re-elected yet). In that eventuality, we came to the conclusion that if things got that far, there's really not a whole lot we (or any other Canadian who doesn't enjoy living under a dictatorship) can do to avoid becoming a red smear under an Abrams tank's treads.
They took in Snowden.
I sent an e-mail to the governor general, giving my vote for a non confidence vote. If this doesn't work out, then I would go offline for a very long time.
I wouldn't go there because Canadian supplied munitions might just start landing on your head at any minute, courtesy of the Ukrainians.
Yeah, and I'm not sure if Ukraine proper would be a good place to relocate as a potential refugee. Russia proper does sound promising, although not sure about Kazakhstan, and unlike Ukraine and Russia, I know a friend who currently lives in Kazakhstan.
Snowden also sold them US state secrets
What? And give up the chance we've been waiting three hundred years for? To finally get revenge on the loyalists that fled to Canada, seizing their lands for ourselves!
They like famous people the most, or those with followers. Snowden was famous, Richard Spencer was sheltered too if I remember correctly.
No evidence of that has ever been presented; and no, "just trust me guys, he totally did" and "it's Russia" doesn't count.
You do realize he thinks that everything, ranging from hurricane levels in the USA to him having diarrhea/constipation is the result of a Russian plot,right?
