Narativ's Canada edition explores how everything from politics to sports is shifting in response to Trump - and discovers a 75% increase in Americans moving to Canada.The biggest story in North American relations isn't happening at diplomatic summits or trade negotiations. It's playing out in immigration offices, polling stations, and yes – even on the ice.
As Trump steers America away from its traditional NATO allies and toward Russia and China, Canada faces an unprecedented realignment. Our investigation reveals three key shifts:
First, the numbers. Since Trump's November victory, Canadian immigration sites saw an eight-fold surge in U.S. traffic. But unlike the empty threats that followed his 2016 win, immigration lawyers report serious inquiries from tech workers, healthcare professionals, and LGBTQ+ families. The data backs this up: there's been a 75% increase in permanent residency invitations to U.S. residents.

Second, Canadian politics is transforming. Former Bank of Canada governor Mark Carney has emerged as a frontrunner for Liberal leadership, polling just three points behind the Conservatives. He's positioning himself as Canada's shield against Trump's America, and it's working – pulling 42% of previous NDP voters.
Finally, there's the symbolism. Tomorrow's US-Canada hockey championship isn't just another game. With ticket prices rivaling the Super Bowl and three fights in the first nine seconds of their last match, it's become a proxy for deeper tensions.
The implications are serious. As America shifts toward Russia and China, Canada faces critical choices about trade, security, and its role in the Western alliance. Trump's pivot isn't just redrawing diplomatic maps – it's reshaping North American society from the ground up.
Our full investigation airs tonight on Narativ.
