Americans have a lot of tolerance for anyone with an accent originating from the British Isles. And it's still pretty easy to move from the UK to Canada if all youse really want to flee.

We already had "Ok are Americans justified in moving here" on our public tv which featured a lengthy discussion of the North American healthcare system and so on, but trying to do that but for the English is going to be a giant cognitohazard since most of our press cheered on Boris and the like.

Invisible Immigrants: The English in Canada since 1945

Despite being one of the largest immigrant groups contributing to the development of modern Canada, the story of the English has been all but untold. In Invisible Immigrants, Marilyn Barber and Murray Watson document the experiences of English-born immigrants who chose to come to Canada during England’s last major wave of emigration between the 1940s and the 1970s. Engaging life story oral histories reveal the aspirations, adventures, occasional naiveté, and challenges of these hidden immigrants.

Postwar English immigrants believed they were moving to a familiar British country. Instead, like other immigrants, they found they had to deal with separation from home and family while adapting to a new country, a new landscape, and a new culture. Although English immigrants did not appear visibly different from their new neighbours, as soon as they spoke they were immediately identified as “foreign.”

Barber and Watson reveal the personal nature of the migration experience and how socio-economic structures, gender expectations, and marital status shaped possibilities and responses. In postwar North America dramatic changes in both technology and the formation of national identities influenced their new lives and helped shape their memories. Their stories contribute to our understanding of postwar immigration and fill a significant gap in the history of English migration to Canada.

I had to order a reference on it from the library, but the reason for the dramatic drop in British immigration after the 60's was apparently because Canada introduced the points system to keep out undesirables and somehow Britons got caught in the crossfire. That's very funny to me for whatever reason.

So the modern slavery thing is really loving bad. Companies aree going to be able to use illegal immigrants as slave/extremely underpaid labour which is I assume the actual point, cause there will be donors and possibly MPs themselves already rubbing against the modern slavery regulations with their immigrant staff

Basically legalising businesses paying people illegally low wages with no protections as long as theyr vulnerable asylum seekers, in the name of protecting workers from immigrants. Incredibly British.

Yep. This is what I mean about Canada's racist system to keep out the global south in the 60's backfiring because ultimately we did restrict immigration to the doctors and lawyers of India and Africa, sure, but it also kept out most regular people from all countries, including the UK.

Yeah I've been going on about this all week - there's no way they can't see that this will act as an incentive for the worst people smugglers and gangmasters to smuggle even more people in, to exploit on an even bigger (and easier!) scale
