ont .,: Professor Steve Carr is seeking Canadian citizenship as a 'political refugee' of Donald Trump's U.S. administration, according to Huffington Post Canada. Photo Memorial University The longtime permanent resident of Canada has flirted with becoming a naturalized citizen since moving to Newfoundland for a teaching gig in 1987, but as a self-proclaimed American patriot, says he couldn't bring himself to swear an Oath of Allegiance to the Queen. Steve Carr, a California native whose mother hails from Stratford, Ont., says he has applied for Canadian citizenship as insurance'' against Trump's hardline immigration policy. He says he watched in disbelief when the voting returns came in last November, feeling sick to his stomach'' as it became clear Trump had won the presidential race. He says he's concerned about being flagged by U.S. customs and immigration officials for having twice visited Cuba on an American passport during professional trips permitted under the previous administration's relaxed travel restrictions. Us' vs. 'them'Carr says Trump's rhetoric divides the American public into us'' and them'' his supporters and everyone else and as a Buddhist scientist with liberal leanings, he falls squarely in the latter camp.
