Serious answer to an unserious question: adopting an adult is legally possible in about half the jurisdictions in Canada, and then most of those jurisdictions require the adoptee to be a citizen or permanent resident. https://adoptingback.com/adopting-back/canada-adult-adoption-law/

Oh geez, those registry rules. We used to make jokes about the Soviet Union: “papers please!” US Xenophobia will end up removing all their freedoms. It’ll be about “catching illegal aliens” but the effect will be total internal travel restrictions and tracking for US citizens. I really hope they wake up before it’s too late.

I have an upcoming trip with a US transfer. We booked it before Trump won and started these shenanigans. We worry that the declining traffic will cancel our direct flight and we’ll be left scrambling to find an alternative route. We also worry about US Customs now more than we used to. It would cost us ~$1300 for the two of us to reroute, and we’re seriously thinking about it just to reduce our risk.

In unrelated news, most of the lettuce in the store in grown in the USA. We went shopping yesterday and all the Canadian produce was sold out while the US stuff was sort of rotting. Well, we found romaine hearts grown in Mexico, so we bought that. Thanks Mexico-bros.
