Whatever side of the aisle you're on, did you promise to move to Canada if she/he wins? Before you do, listen in to this uncomfortable phone call.

How many of you have posted angrily to Facebook: "If Trump/Clinton wins, I'm moving to Toronto ... wherever that is."



Liberal America: "So whatcha been up to? Still doing that very attractive socialized medicine, maple syrup, gun law thing? Just wanted to… you know… see if you… wanted some company?"



Canada, skeptically: "What is this, a transnational booty call?"



Liberal America: "Don’t say it like that!"

Listen to the audio to hear more of how that phone call might go, in a skit by Off-Ramp contributor Collin Friesen, a Canadian writer and filmmaker who lives in Los Angeles and won’t be voting in November.
