I cannot begin to tell you how much I will miss these folks, each and every one. I weep over the devastation this will wreak within American Arts & Letters.
If we can get them to all leave from the same place at the same time, maybe we can put together a few singers to do the BELMONTS' acappella version of STEAM's "Nah Nah Nah, Hey Hey Hey, Goodbye"!
Zitat Bad news for anyone looking to relocate to our neighbor to the north after last night’s election results: Canada doesn’t want you.
After Americans—and especially American celebrities—began considering making good on their promises to “move to Canada” in the wake of Donald Trump election victory, Canadians took to Twitter to warn Americans that they’d best stay where they are.

But if there’s anyone Canada really doesn’t want, among the number of celebrities who “seriously’ pledged to move north, it’s Girls star Lena Dunham (though, it seems, they’d also prefer not to house either Miley Cyrus or Amy Schumer)

ZitatLast April at the Matrix Awards, part-time actor, full-time celebrity Lena Dunham said that she was absolutely serious about moving to Canada if Donald Trump won the presidency. "I know a lot of people have been threatening to do this, but I really will. I know a lovely place in Vancouver,” she told award ceremony host Andy Cohen.
Milo Yiannopoulos announced Wednesday that he had asked his travel agent to arrange a first-class ticket to Canada for Ms. Dunham. So with everything in place and the stars aligned, you would think Dunham would jump at the chance to make good on her pledge. Fat chance.
Washington Times:
Add Lena Dunham to the list of anti-Trump celebrities who won’t be moving to Canada after all.
Miss Dunham, star of the HBO comedy series “Girls,” took to Instagram to slam those calling for her to make good on her promise to leave the country if Republican Donald Trump won the presidency.
“And for those demanding I move to Canada based on something I said when this man seemed like a steak salesman with a long shot at the presidency: stay busy reveling in your new regime,” she said in a Friday post.
“I will go many places during my lifetime, surrounded by kindreds on a mission to spread justice and light. I can’t wait for all of this, and for the change to come, as we use what we’ve been given to protect those who can’t protect themselves,” she added. “What are you living for?”
So basically the reason she's not leaving is that when she said she was, Trump didn't have a chance to win -- except he did win and now she's welshing on her word.
Why should it matter if Trump had no chance to win when she made the pledge? You're either going to go or not -- electoral chances shouldn't play any part in her decision.
ZitatAcademy Award-nominated actor Samuel L. Jackson said he is not leaving the United States now that Donald Trump defeated Hillary Clinton in the presidential election and that his previous threat to move out of the country was not his “personal opinion.”
