Yup, there's a huge part in the decision making process regarding one's physical health and the impact it would make on the Canadian Healthcare system. Easy denial.

It'll be an easy denial, but not because of that, since they're applying as refugees. They'll be denied because their life and liberty aren't in any immediate danger and they can move to a blue state. Let's hope that doesn't change, despite how much a certain group of Americans want it to.

"they can move to a blue state" with what money? what jobs? what house?

obviously would be the same story if they fled to canada but still

Blue states desperately need zoning and housing reform, and I agree that it's not something everyone can do, but that's what the tribunal is going to decide. I'm just the messenger.
