> It's important to note that people's desire to migrate is typically much higher than their intention to do so -- as such, it is unlikely that Americans will be flocking to the Canadian border. In fact, since Trump's election, Canadian statistics show only a modest uptick in the number of Americans who have moved to Canada. Reading the article at first it seems they intended to move, as in they were researching their options but it is not quite that, it's more of general musing of "maybe would like some day to move...". And Canada says very few actually moved. This confirms to what I've seen in my circle of acquaintances of out maybe 4 people who claimed they would move to Asia, Canada or Europe, none actually took any steps to do so. I can't blame them, having moved between countries before, it is a huge hurdle. I had the initial thought of saying "You probably won't..." to some of them but figured it would just get them upset.
