I didn't even know that "refugees from the United States" was a thing. Having visited Canada several times I wonder if these "refugees" will like Canada's stricter laws and socialism.

I think we should send funds for this effort and a good bus system to take them.

An entirely misleading title to the article. AND they (the refugees) ARE NOT from the US, they may have transited the US, but they are NOT FROM the US.

All true, but it's amazing to me that "migrants/illegal aliens" who are already in the US, are rushing to Canada in large numbers.

This is funny when you consider this....
Unfortunately, no, despite what one resident of Nova Scotia would have you believe. Moving to Canada is actually pretty damn hard, and requires you to have either investments or family there, possess a job skill that Canadians themselves lack, claim refugee status (good luck with that), enroll in school, or convince an actual Canadian to marry you, as Gawker points out.
Even if one of those somehow does work out for you, there’s another problem: Canada is expensive. While Canadians enjoy more social benefits than poor American schmucks, they pay for the privilege, and Chinese investment means that the cost of living is rapidly increasing. Vancouver, for instance, is now the most expensive city in North America, with the average house going for a whopping $2.23 million.
