Yes. Your question suggests that the only reason people would leave Canada is because they are being forced out.

Are there vigilante groups running around Canada and running people out of the country on a rail (as the saying used to be) or is it the government doing this? Does it work like the way England used to ship convicts to Australia?

I am curious about how this forced emigration works because none of my co-workers down there have mentioned any of this to me.

Plenty of Muslims still in the USA and still entering the USA. Perhaps this temporary ban on immigration from a handful of countries is what you erroneously label a "ban on all Muslims". Trump used only the authority granted him under the US Constitution and laws passed by the US Congress well before he even started running for office and were also used the same way by at least his two immediate predecessors.

Plenty of transgenders still in the USA. None have been forced to leave. Perhaps you are referring to the US Military thing. The one where his immediate predecessor acted unilaterally in his last year in office to tell the military what it was going to do (kind of authoritarian/dictatorish) and Trump simply worked with the military leadership and undid that; rolling back the situation to where it had been less than a year prior and then telling the military to take whatever time they wanted to study the situation and let him know if they had valid military reasons for altering the policy. I think using the powers granted to undo dictatorial acts by ones predecessor to reset the situation and then moving forward in a non-dictatorial fashion does not really count as being a dictator. YMMV.

Since we were only "in" the Paris accords because of the signature of a single man who had never bothered to submit those accords to the Senate for ratification to make them enforceable in the US, Trumps actions were, once again, simply undoing the dictatorial actions of his immediate predecessor to reset the situation to the status quo of before his immediate predecessor was in office.

Do you have any examples where Trump "acted like a dictator" that involve him seizing power in a manner not already used many times in the past by Presidents you would claim were not using that same power in a dictatorial manner? Do you have any examples where Trump's actions were not simply undoing an action taken by his immediate predecessor where the immediate predecessor acted just as unilaterally and dictatorially?
