I don't care, my point still stands. Your hatred of America or love for Canada is irrelevant, and so are your assumptions as to why people are moving (even they literally give you the reasons in the article). The fact remains that emigration from Canada to the US is at a 10 year high, is far above the historical average, and is increasing.
In the same year (2022), only 10k Americans immigrated to Canada. This is only 8% of the number of Canadians who emigrated to the US (126k), despite the US having 8.5x as many people.
Most people agree with here because her stance on this is, for the most part, objectively true. This is reflected by the ever increasing number of sport organizations banning trans women from competing in women's sports. This is the default opinion in society and the world at large. The only people who think otherwise are secluded online echo chambers.
I'm not arguing for or against, I'm just pointing out the fact that emigration trend from Canada to the US is happening and it is at a 10 year high. I merely pointed out the reasons cited in the article as I clearly stated.
But it is. A symbol can mean different things in different context. For example, this hand gesture 👌 means okay in Western cultures but means something more insulting and offensive in Arab culture. Does that mean one is right and is the one and only representation of the gesture? Of course not. Same here. Swastikas have been around for thousands of years across many different cultures and has many different meanings. It's just one variation of the symbol that ended up being used by the nazis and is offensive to most people. It's silly and rather close minded to try to disregard all these disregard all these different context and meanings when many of them have been around for longer than the nazi variation. The principle applies here.

No, what I said is true. You're Canadian, how do you not know this?

Tens of thousands of Canadians are emigrating from Canada to the United States and the number of people packing up and moving south has hit a level not seen in 10 years or more, according to data compiled by CBC News.
There's nothing new about Canadians moving south of the 49th parallel for love, work or warmer weather, but the latest figures from the American Community Survey (ACS) suggest it's now happening at a much higher rate than the historical average.
Actual reasons cited in the article: Lower taxes, higher wages, affordable housing, dislike of Trudeau's politics, cheaper groceries, increasing crime rates, increasingly disappointing healthcare system, and warm weather
Whether you agree or disagree with these reasons is irrelevant. The point is that trend is there and it's accelerating. So to your tongue in cheek point about Americans mass migrating north, that likely won't happen because the opposite trend is occurring as we speak.
This is only true if you think it's true. Pepe serves as a template for internet culture and can have anything projected on to it. Pepe has been used to push evil views like Marxism and Fascism to pragmatic views like universal healthcare and freedom of the press to non political things like complaining about video games and the weather.
Usually rates that involve small raw numbers get swayed pretty significantly by relatively small changes. For example, Malta had a 3 murders last year, if that number doubled to 6, the homicide rate would increase by 100%. That's a very significant increase, but does it imply that Malta has turned into a dangerous country? Not really, no. The increase would make it's rate go from 0.561 per 100k to 1.122 per 100k, that's around the same as New Zealand which is another very safe country. It should still be noted and discussed because there's value in that, but my point is that these trends and swings in statistics can be pretty misleading if not put into proper context.
As it turns out most men and women aren't weird doomer weirdos who spend a considerable amount of their lives being miserable online. Most people want families, and there's nothing wrong with that.
If anybody read the study, which I highly doubt, you'll see that this story is highly exaggerated. The actually study showed the sterilization in women went from 2.83 per 100k people per month before Dobbs to 5.31 per 100k people per month after Dobbs. For men, the increase went from 1.03 per 100k people per month to 1.18 per 100k people per month.
Let me ask you this, as someone with a life, why did you even entertain the idea of wasting time on something this pointless in the first place? Do you find it fun? What's the thought process? Personally, after I finish working I want to spend my free time hanging out with my friends, family, go on a vacation, etc. If I really do have extra spare time on a consistent basis, I would much rather practice guitar, play ball, or doing things like you're doing now with your car. I see no benefit whatsoever from becoming a committed unpaid admin in general, let alone for an irrelevant site.
