The Jews of Cape Breton, Canada's...are they really the 'Anti-Trump Island'?

"The Jews of Cape Breton, Canada's...are they really the 'Anti-Trump Island'?"

"Rob Calabrese created a website called "Cape Breton If Donald Trump Wins," a tongue-in-cheek appeal to Americans to consider moving to Cape Breton if Donald Trump is elected president. In less than three weeks, thousands of Americans have responded"

What is the qualification... is it making a joke, that makes them 'Jewish'?

If so, what does that make those thousands of Americans that bought into it seriously.

Are those country's threatening to ban Trump from crossing their borders chaos incarnate? If Anti-Trump is the criteria there's a whole world you can act the grade schooler with and call then odd names that do not apply also.

Where did your antisemitic rant come from? Out of a population just under one million, there are only about 1500 Jews in Nova Scotia.

The "invitation" to immigrate to Cape Breton was given as a tongue-in-cheek joke by a local radio host. But Americans have been taking it seriously and actually trying to find out more info about moving to Canada. It's a sign of how divided America is with Trump having a shot at becoming the Republican candidate for president.

What do Jews have to do with this issue?

It was just a joke by a local radio host. The island at the northern tip of Nova Scotia is actually attached to the rest of the province. It's a popular tourist destination, but the local population is dwindling (and the local economy with it).

Radio host Rob Calabrese has no authority to give permission to anyone to immigrate to Canada. He was only joking that since Americans were threatening to move to Canada if Trump were elected, he thought they should be invited to his region. Alas, immigration is not a local matter, and the CIC authorities in Ottawa have not made a similar offer.

That said, provinces do have certain limited powers to create programs to attract certain people (Québec has a program for native French speakers), but so far, Nova Scotia has not announced any such program.
