This Canadian Island is offering refuge if Trump wins

If Donald Trump wins the presidency, there's definitely one place out there that will be welcoming fleeing Americans with open arms: Canada's Cape Breton Island. The rural Nova Scotia island is angling to solve Americans' impending Trump problem by inviting anyone who wants to "get the hell out of there" to move to the island.

Cape Breton has yet to experience the full force of the coming ravages of the Justin Trudeau tenure.

******

Cape Breton officials should be careful not to upset and criticize Trump too much, because billionaire Trump might release his wrath on the place by deciding to buy it in the near future. Just having some fun.

Seriously, I bet that the people of Breton would be more than happy if Trump decided to build a tourist attraction like a lavish hotel, resort, and shopping complex in relatively unknown Canadian Breton.

To bad I didn’t know about this place when Barry was elected.

Thank you! :-)

I remember when you had to be 21 years old to be able to vote. Back then, 21 year olds were MORE adult than most 30 year olds are today. We are keeping people children for far too long ! So many college students, today, are just BIG babies; sadly.

[nopardons]

Well at least you found us now. :-)

I doubt they’ll like the taxes and the healthcare system.

Go for the bagged milk. Stay for the poutine

Or just use the spray....

We could fill that island with just the FreeRepublic members with TDS.

To bad I didn’t know about this place when Barry was elected.

*******

Sadly, people probably knew more about Canadian Cape Breton in 2008 than they knew about Barry Obama when he was first elected president in 2008.

Good exchange rate: On 18 February 2016, 1.00 Canadian Dollar(s) = 0.73 U.S. dollar(s), at an exchange rate of 0.7288 (using nominal rate).

Are 10 to 20 million illegals all going to fit on CBI?

“If Trump wins, I am emigrating to Fresno.”

Nice warm climate.

Chocolate lovers HEADS UP!

(What’s a poutine? Dunno yet, but I kinda got sidetracked. . .)

I looked up "poutine" for ya and it's NOT what I've seen here in the states. Wikki says that it's French fries with cheese curd on top and everything then covered with brown gravy.

I've had "poutine" in Florida, in a high priced, chi chi restaurant, but they omitted the cheese curds.

That cake at the link looks good. :-)

[nopardons]

LOL...you think we could get them all to go there? :-)

[nopardons]

But Canada has a PM who is even MORE of a lefty than Obama is. Go there and enjoy ! LOL

[KGeorge]

Sounds distinctly Cajun, but maybe not (Acadian?)
LOL It looks AWFUL. But it doesn’t sound too bad (or compelling, either- shrug)
Yikes, that website. Food porn for sure.

[CrimsonTidegirl]

“Some negatives for sure.

But maybe with a Trump Presidency Cape Breton will become the last refuge of sanity. I know I sure as hell am not looking forward to having an unhinged nutjob for a President.”

So, you had rather live under the Justin Trudeau regime than under a Trump administration. Wow, just wow.

I support Cruz but I would choose Trump over the lunatic child Trudeau.

They can take Cuban-Canada boy right now.

So I sit here at 3am in Texas with the windows open in a tee shirt I might add.
The low today is 62 and the high later will be 80.
I wouldn’t move to that frigged place if they paid me.
