Barbara Streisand and Lena Dunham may be some of the higher profile "Trumpfugees" leaving the country and heading to Justin Trudeau's Canada.

Carson, whose professional ascent was aided by civil rights victories and affirmative action, has pointedly rejected the very methods that allowed him to access opportunities that were unheard of in America's pre-civil rights years.
