In light of the election results many Americans have been quickly googling ways to immigrate into Canada (so much so that their immigration site crashed). But let's be real: you shouldn't move to Canada, you should move to Massachusetts! Many legislation measures that Trump has threatened to overturn (Obamacare, same-sex marriage, abortion rights, access to reproductive care, etc.) will still be intact in Massachusetts, even if he manages to take these rights away. Not to mention, Massachusett just recently passed an election ballot measure that will legalize Marijuana. Do you need more convincing? Here's a list of Massachusetts towns that are you should relocate to - and best of all, none of these towns voted for Trump!
