In case there is still some idea of exercising the option that's mentioned so many times in elections: Canada does not currently have the infrastructure to accept half the population of the USA on a long-term basis. Sure, we'll happily take a few thousand of your best and brightest, but we can't take you all and taking your best and brightest means those of you who we wouldn't take would be worse off.
So, yes, please work things out amongst yourselves. Make sure that unconstitutional acts don't become law; crowdfund for the lawyers' fees, if necessary. Help the refugees you've accepted - the poor, the tired, the huddled masses yearning to be free - get through the winter, and the next three winters after that. Teach your children about the rule of law, and that the intent is that the same law applies to the beggar and to the President.
And if you want scrutineers for your next election, just ask. Elections Canada has experience with that.

them. Adversaries remain citizens of the same state, common subjects of
the same sovereign, servants of the same law."
