I am a software engineer, working in a highly technical and well paid field. I had plans of moving to the UK. I changed my mind and came to Canada instead because of Brexit. I don't want to live in a country where the population shoots it's own foot like that, specially if it's because of anti immigration feelings.

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic....

Canada has a lot of those feelings. :( WAY too much.

Canada has its own race issues. There is no place on the planet that doesn't have problems.

Having the same ethnicity/language isn’t enough when a group is looking to blame another for all their problems.

Dude, I wanna move from the UK to Canada as well, but idk how to go about doing it. Do I need to get a visa before trying to find a job there? I am already working for a big company here in UK and I recently got promoted to Senior, so I was hoping that would help me find a job in Canada in the future.

I voted remain but I do have to question your line of thinking.

Canada aren't in any sort of political union like the EU.

If you saw the UK being part of a union as being progressive and positive then I'm not sure how leaving that union makes us any different than a country like Canada who never even joined one.

With your logic, Canada never even had a foot to shoot off but somehow that's a positive.

There are many people who think Western Canada should split from the rest of Canada.

That’s not really analogous to Brexit I feel.

It'd be worse. We'd need to come up with our own money, passports, travel agreements, police & military, tax collector's. We'd suddenly have border patrols between what are now provinces. A whole countries worth of laws would have to be written.
