Canada is home to many, and people all across the globe take it as their abode. Apart from being a haven to several wonders of the world, it is also the native place of our beloved Deadpool actor, Ryan Reynolds. Being the proud ‘Vancouverite’ he is, Reynolds never misses the opportunity to put in a good word for his homeland. His affection and admiration towards Canada are as clear as day, given the way he always gets gushy at just the mention of it.

Apart from being a powerhouse of talent, Reynolds is also neck deep into philanthropic activities. He never fails to bowl us over with his charitable endeavors in Canada. His passion for siding with his country’s people has been on display on several occasions. Back in 2021, using his inherent wit and sense of humor, he playfully advised Americans to take a moment and reiterate their plans of moving to Canada.

The Free Guy actor is known for his impeccable sense of humor. Back in November 2021, while substituting for Will Ferrell, Ryan Reynolds on The Tonight Show teasingly advocated that Americans must not jump the gun and simply think of moving to Canada every time they get frustrated towards their own land. “You have to stop saying that you’re going to move to Canada whenever you’re mad at something in the U.S.,” Reynolds said.

In 2020, the clash between Joe Biden and Donald Trump in the U.S. presidential debate worked people up so much that ‘move to Canada’ became a popular Google search. It even trended on Twitter when there were fears of a potential World War III with Iran. Reynolds, as a Canadian, addressed this trend and emphasized that people should not view Canada as a haven every time something goes wrong in the U.S. He apologized and humorously suggested Americans explore other options like Finland instead. His humor was on top when he further said that Canada’s friendly, but it’s not your go-to escape plan.
