I've never been to Canada, but I'm told Vancouver is quite lovely. While I ponder, here are some helpful phrases to get through this dark, dark day:
-Je suis un Américain et je cherche l'asile.
-Ako ay Kano at naghahanap ng kanlungan.
-Ich bin Amerikaner und ich suche Asyl.
-Soy un americano y busco el asilo.
-Sono un americano e cerco asilo.
-Eu sou um americano e eu procuro o asilo.
-Ik ben een Amerikaan en ik zoek asiel.
-I'm an American, and I seek asylum, eh.
(And please, pedants of the world...these are mere Google translations, don't be hatin' on me)
