Happy this guy did this, but don't forget Roger Waters is a piece of shit and supports Russia in this war. Probably fondling Trump's balls at this very moment.
-
Yes! I hope Canada becomes the art capital of the world!
-
Canada should take advantage of this situation to hire US scientists and doctors too.
-
Sadly the opposite is happening right now for healthcare and research. Wages are low, housing is expensive. In the states wages are higher and housing is cheaper, its a no brainer. I've seen MASSIVE brain drain over the years, hopefully wages adjust or housing crashes or both but we definitely need to reassess our priorities.
-
If the may talented Canadians that work in the USA returned it would definitely benefit Canada artistically.
-
They're already the movie and TV show making capital. They've got a head start.

Bob Ezrin, for those who don't what to click on a youtube link.
-
Ugh. Since when was Pink Floyd political?
Everyone knows that art and politics never mix.
/s obviously
-
I get it, but also regret that there is one less person voting against evil, assuming that will continue mattering.
-
One less rich person contributing taxes to evil.
-
Given the stupidity of the electoral college, odds are they don’t live in a swing state therefore their vote don’t matter.
-
We don't get to vote against evil here.

American here. I'd love to do the same. My company even has a branch in Toronto that maybe I could transfer to, but I'm under a year in and I don't think they'd allow it currently.
Y'all got rid of the grandfather clause for citizenship, right? My grandmother was born in Newfoundland, wish I could take advantage of that.
-
Look into whether your profession is listed under their “express entry” program, they fast-track skilled labor.
-
Interesting, thanks! Looks like I'm at least a TEER 2, possibly TEER 1, and otherwise fit a lot of the metrics for points due to age, education, language, etc. Gonna discuss with the wife.

grandfather clause for citizenship, right
You'd first have to get your parent in the club, I think. Then, as half, you get a leg-in.

Both her and my father have passed, so probably can't do much lol

Is Bob Ezrin that obscure? Dude is a legend
-
Eh, I know that the pink Floyd producer is a legend but wouldn't have recognized his name.
-
I think they should have titled it "Bob Ezrin, producer of Pink Floyd's "The Wall" renounces American citizenship in a return to Canada"
-
What a shame there wasn't enough room on the paper to fit both facts.
-
-
-
I wonder how much that cost him. There's an exit tax on your net worth of, what, 10%?
-
By the way, which one's Pink?
-
Have a cigar and an upvote
-
Floyd.
-
Watch The Wall, they give you a very insightful look into Pink
-
-
I wish I had the resources to do similar.
-
I remember people arguing against russian people saying that they shouldn't be allowed anywhere outside their country and if they are unhappy with it they should march to the cremlin. I'm gonna guess same goes for americans, right?
-
I would prefer that Americans to stay and fix their own country, yes.
But I also understand and sympathize with marginalized and vulnerable populations (including but not limited to: LGBT folks, racial minorities and women) wanting to move somewhere safer.
-
Excellent straw man
