to the editor: re <u+201c> anxiety, and jokes, north of border after u.s. vote <u+201d> (news article, nov. 10): while the thought of hordes of well-heeled american citizens fleeing to canada is kind of heartwarming, perhaps a note of caution is called for. anyone seriously thinking of cape breton, nova scotia, should try a week or two in the winter. also, some practice at standing on a hilltop to get decent cellphone reception would be advisable. quebec has its own challenges: try listening to <u+201c>the apprentice<u+201d> in french before making that move. most important, why would we roll out the welcome mat for anyone who is too spineless to stay in his own homeland and fight for what he truly believes? frank taker prescott, ontario to the editor: count me as one of the people who are throwing in the towel. as a canadian citizen and a permanent resident of the united states for more than 45 years, i can say with confidence that the results of this election will reveal themselves in the long-term and permanent decline of this great country. i<u+2019>m a white middle-aged man in a high-income bracket. but i<u+2019>m not feeling reassured and secure; i<u+2019>m feeling sick to my stomach. to those who will soldier on and fight for their beliefs, i have great respect for you and wish you success. as for my family and me, we will be wrapping things up and heading north within the next year to a country where human decency is respected and valued. evan a. audette chicago a version of this letter appears in print on november 12, 2016, on page a24 of the new york edition with the headline: canada, here i come? first, here<u+2019>s some advice. today's paper | subscribe
