I’ve just been informed of your recent case of Trumpitis, I’m so sorry. I’m not a doctor but I’m sure its not fatal and, if the symptoms are properly managed, it will burn itself out in 4 years (8 years at the most). However for those who find the thought of catching this disease too scary, you can wait out the outbreak [in beautiful Cape Breton](http://atlantic.ctvnews.ca/cape-breton-if-trump-wins-website-soaring-following-stunning-victory-1.3153608). The technical legalities of such a move will need to be worked out by yourself, but the Island has been certified Trump-free ever since they passed that ban on the seal-whisker/hair-transplant trade (such a sketchy, sketchy industry). ---

Oddly enough we sent our daughter off to school in NS this fall. And boy, is she glad to be there right now. She’s got at least two and a half more years there so she’ll miss at least most of his term. ---

Its not as easy to get into Canada as illegal Mexicans can get into the US. Ya just cant walk over the bridge. I guess an unguarded border maybe…They’ll probably build a wall too:eek: Canada is not what it cracks up to be…or sound like Whatever Trump does down here, if its something you fear, Canada is going to feel it too so no use running to hide. Proud American’s are ye? Eh. ---

So, what are all these jobs in Cape Breton that are going unfilled so that Americans must be recruited? ---

I’m sure you understand. In that case, it wouldn’t be assisted suicide, it would be a mercy killing. Been checking out test dates to take the IELTS here, ourselves… we’d been targeting the Toronto area because more tech jobs but I hear Nova Scotia is gorgeous! ---

> [@Nawth\_Chucka](#): > > Turns out there’s more than one Sydney, and you can’t surf off the beach of this one. Not strictly true. First we have [Wiki telling us](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sydney,_Nova_Scotia) the one in NS is a “former” city. As for surfing off the beach there: no problem provided your standards for “beach” and “surfing” are sufficiently open-minded. On the plus side, you can expect to have even the best waves entirely to yourself. ---

True, Nova Scotia is very nice, and all. But I’ve already fled for my life to Canada once, and I’m getting too old to do it again, unless catastrophe becomes a great deal more imminent… ---

I don’t think I’d get a warm welcome there anymore. Aside from the fact that the other Newdoundlanders give an amazingly warm welcome to everyone.
