from entertainment weekly : every four years, around this time, you start to hear them: the dissatisfied voters who threaten to move to canada if their candidate loses. with the presidential election looming, such discussions have reached a fever pitch, but what about our political experts? surely they<u+2019>re not thinking of fleeing north, too? 




ew sat down with rachel maddow a few weeks ago to pick her brain about the election and her broadcasting career, from hosting the rachel maddow show (weekdays at 9 p.m. on msnbc) to co-anchoring msnbc<u+2019>s primetime political coverage with brian williams. we asked her the same question that<u+2019>s on a lot of liberals<u+2019> minds: if donald trump wins the presidency, will she pack up and move to canada? not a chance. 




<u+201c>first of all, my mother would kill me,<u+201d> maddow says, laughing. <u+201c>my mother escaped newfoundland in order to come here. seriously, there<u+2019>s nothing to make you appreciate the united states more than having an immigrant parent .<u+201d> 




canadian connections aside, maddow says she<u+2019>s definitely staying, even if a trump presidency could have radical effects on her chosen profession . 




<u+201c>trump says that once he<u+2019>s president, <u+2018> media<u+2019>s not going to get away with the stuff they get away with now. we<u+2019>re going to change those libel laws! <u+2019><u+201d> maddow says. <u+201c>he blacklisted the freaking washington post from covering him. so who knows what it<u+2019>s going to be like with trump as president? who knows how he<u+2019>ll use his power to try and destroy the press? <u+201d> 




still, maddow says she<u+2019>s not going anywhere. 




<u+201c>if he does what he<u+2019>s promising to do, i don<u+2019>t know if any of our jobs will exist any more,<u+201d> maddow says. <u+201c>but as long as someone will have me, i<u+2019>ll do this job.<u+201d>
