I'm in the same situation, and I agree. On some level it could be good for Canada to have all the TN folks back. Maybe bad for us in the short term, but the effects could ripple.

If NAFTA talks don't work out, folks like you and me with our TNs are actually going to start worrying about how we're going to keep our jobs.

anyone who can't or definitely won't vote for him is likely part of the shithole

I'm not exactly sure how the United States trying to walk back an agreement (NAFTA) and slapping tariffs on our allies makes Canada a "shithole country".

If anything, it makes us the shitty neighbor.

It was a sarcastic reference to Trump’s “shithole countries” remarks about African nations last year.

Oh, I know what it was about. I was just pointing out that Canada is clearly not a "shithole country" and that the current US attitude towards our long-time allies everywhere makes us the shithole country.
