Seriously Though, Canada Is Ready To Welcome Terrified Americans

    *hugs*

    Donald Trump has been elected the next president of the US. There's a lot of people of color, LGBT folks, Muslims, and other minority groups worried for what's to come.

    So while there have been tons of jokes about moving to Canada, it's not quite so funny anymore.

    I have Muslim family & LGBT friends who live in America. We can joke about 'moving to Canada' but the reality is they now have to live this.

    And you know what, Canada is here for you.

    If Trump wins, I say Canada develop an open door immigration policy for Americans of colour and queer folks. #ElectionDay #USElection2016

    Look, Canada is far from perfect. We have systemic racism. We have people who are anti-gay, anti-trans, anti-immigrant. But we're trying.

    Canada is amazing. LGBT rights, ethnic diversity and freedom, our neighbors lost their way, let's welcome their children #ComeToCanada

    And if you feel like you'd be safe and happier up here in the great white north...

    dear american queer kids, if trump wins and conversion therapy is brought back u can come to Canada and live in my house, I'll keep you safe

    We're happy to make room.

    Hello women, minority's, LGBT and anyone who has been attacked by Trump. You're always welcome in #Canada we accept you #ElectionNight

    Come be our neighbours!

    Ready to welcome the LGBT + community as they flee to Canada #letsbefriends ❤️💛💚💙💜

    Our arms are open.

    Honestly I wish we could welcome all the poc and lgtbq+ and women and immigrants to Canada. I want to wrap them up and kiss them on the head

    And we're known to be huggers.

    if trump becomes president any poc, women, lgbqt, refugees that need to come to Canada will be personally accepted by me with a hug

    We know you might be scared right now.

    To all my American poc, women, members of the lgbtq community, and any other minorities, Canada would love to have you.

    And we know that sometimes you've given all you can.

    On the eve of the #Trump era, I invite all beautiful, brilliant Black, Muslim, Latino & LGTBQ folks to brain drain your way up to Canada ❤️

    So whether you stay or go...

    "Give me your tired, your liberal, your LGBTQ+ and your women, your POC yearning to breathe free.” — Canada, right now. #Election2016

    Know that you have friends up here in Canada. 💕🇨🇦
