Always interesting to find fact in fiction. Or those who play fiction and aren't even aware of what they speak even in jest.
Beneath the surface, there is probably a bit of "we don't want you to see the old Soviet Union of the 1980s" which is what Canada has become, especially in Ontario the last 30 years.
Any American who believes they will be more free or prosperous in Canada needs to speak to me first. I will save them a wasted dream that doesn't exist. Canada is finished. It's why Reynolds got out, though he can pretend to be a spokesman for the border guards or something.
Also, Canada is a "welcoming country", but believe it or not, not so much for Americans. He is saying the quiet part out loud as Canada remains stuck in the horse and buggy economy...
In a new segment on "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" titled "You Have To Stop", the actor pretended to complain about a few things from whispering "That looks good" after every movie trailer to Daylight saving time creating unnecessary hatred for farmers.
Among his complaints was the plea for Americans to stop threatening to come to Canada.
"You have to stop saying that you're going to move to Canada whenever you're mad at something in the U.S.," says Reynolds.
Canada is known to be a welcoming country, but hopeful Americans wanting to cross the border will have to look elsewhere Ryan Reynolds says.
"As a Canadian, I'm sorry, but we can't," he continues. "I know we're friendly, but Canada's not your safehouse."
Referencing the difficulty of crossing the border in the pandemic, he adds, "I mean, we barely let Canadians into Canada anymore, so please, pick somewhere else."
To persuade Americans, Reynolds offers an alternative location: "I hear Finland is really lovely this time of year."
