Reading this, it is clear that Guilbeault and May were both betrayed by this deal with Smith. I can't blame them, TBH.

Throughout history the majority of people do not try to pack-up and leave until it's too late. Two prudent things you can do: 1. Write a list of redlines for when you'd immigrate. 2. Research the answer to questions like "Where will I go?" and "How do I get my money/family out?" etc.
