Canada remains the top preferred destination for younger American women looking to leave
That’s a bit of a cop-out imo. No offense but Canada is essentially just an extension of the US, culturally, economically, politically… And how’s the housing affordability situation in Canada these days? I mean you’re jumping out of the frying pan, yes, but just into another slightly smaller frying pan.
Yeah, as a Canadian, I can confirm. There’s very little independent policy here and politics tend to follow the US with just like half a decade lag. So, exact same stuff will be happening here in the near term. The housing affordability in Canada is absolutely terrible, I think it’s actually worse than the US if you can imagine that. Meanwhile, libs here are openly talking about mass austerity to fund 5% NATO spending.
No disagreement here. But then, people like us have awareness on imperialism, colonialism, capitalism, etc. They may be polling a fair amount of dissatisfied liberals.
Depends what you mean by “good countries”. I would argue that a good country is a country where life is affordable, even if it is nominally poorer. Western chauvinists like to denigrate global south countries as “third world” but, ironically, you can often live an easier - if simpler and with not as many comforts - life there.
Immigration is difficult, period. If you’re very poor you most likely can’t afford to immigrate because you can’t afford the up front costs, and so you’re basically stuck. And even if you can afford it, there are still plenty of bureaucratic hurdles that can be very daunting. I don’t and have never recommended to anyone (except “Israeli” settlers) that they should emigrate, because i know from personal experience how hard it is, especially if you’re already struggling financially.
Of course it will always be easier to immigrate to a country with less of a language barrier and less of a culture shock. So it’s understandable that most Americans would choose Canada, with Europe as a second choice. But there are other choices if you are willing to try and embrace something very different from what you are used to.
I’m mentally disabled. I’m considered unfit to work even in the US. I doubt anyone wants me and I’ll probably die when the country collapses. I know that as China develops that it will relax immigration because it’ll become less of a problem as it approaches communism and produces enough to sustain itself even with immigrants. Maybe I’ll get lucky.

Then where should we go? Immigration to good countries is difficult for many of us.
