Indeed. There was a documentary and panel discussion on CBC Radio a few years ago about the potential for mass migration of climate refugees from Central and South America. It was damned scary, and that was long before the current immigration crisis.at the US-Mexico border which offers just a tiny hint of what the future may portend. At the moment these refugees are looking for a better life for their families; it will be hugely different when they’re fighting for life itself.
I hope humans can avoid this - I’m not sure we will.

Individual Eh: Yet. Jack up the price to fifty dollars a bottle to make it look like an affordable luxury. Get candidates Drake and Bieber to write songs about “Clamato in the Club”. Go ahead with the “TikTok Clamato Challenge”, le gouvernment Chinois is on board. Replace the juleps using our Kentucky connection, “The Colonel”. Make the bottles smaller and shaped like that fine wine… Mateus…
**Individual B:” But market research says only people from Wisconsin would drink this! And people from Chicago who drink Malört!
Individual C: Our Artificial Intelligence Unit, POILIEVRE, has created irresistible recipes and will brainwash the Yankee heathen! Here are their recipes…. How are our efforts to corner the Slim Jim and celery salt markets going? Soon, those five bonus armies will be ours!

Not to mention programs such as Univeral Health Care, Employment Insurance, Old Age Security, Canada Pension Plan, Social Assistance, etc… that are invaluable to Canadians and prevent many of us from falling into poverty in the event that we get sick/injured, lose our jobs, retire, etc…
