And what's created a lot of the buzz lately about Americans moving to Canada has been this amendment to legislation in the country that will make for much greater eligibility for citizenship on the part of Americans if they have deeper ancestral ties beyond, say, first generation.

So that presumably is opening up a path to hundreds of thousands of Americans potentially being eligible for Canadian citizenship.

But

There's a big gap between actually checking your ancestry, which apparently we're seeing some movement in that regard on the part of Americans and actually making the move.

Making the move is a bigger decision.

And so you're seeing a lot of the stories in the media lately about that amended legislation.

In each of those stories, there's someone being interviewed who doesn't like Donald Trump, right?

Who's sort of saying, you know, it's a lot of...

unpleasant stuff going on in the US.

There's that ice thing going on, which is terrible.

And Donald Trump's doing this and that.

So the stories don't look as much about the expansion of the citizenship opportunities they do about politics in the United States and the sort of uneven impact it's having on how people feel.

Now, again, jumping from that, I don't like Donald Trump actually moving.

There's a process involved in doing that.

There's a lot of decision making involved in doing that.

And so it's not as simple as some people might think.

Yeah, there is.

And we've got a lot of rules here.

Now, to be fair, if you can get that easy access to citizenship, then you don't have to go through all of our rules to the same degree.

You don't have to apply for permanent resident status, that sort of family unification.
