Why go to Canada?

[Hackie P4ckie]

I get that it's got the parallels to the American civil war where slaves fled to Canada so they could be free, but why the ♥♥♥♥ do androids flee to Canada? If the country still doesn't recognize androids as people and doesn't sell them, they logically wouldn't have any maintenance services for androids.

So Alice and Kara flee to Canada. One day, Kara trips and ends up breaking her knee or something. She's just completely ♥♥♥♥ out of luck now because she can't get replacement parts from anywhere because they're not being sold in Canada.

And it's not really made clear if androids are actively deported from Canada back to the USA or if they're just tolerated but given no acknowledgement. In the former case, it'd be dangerous even to try to smuggle parts in from the USA.

So why the ♥♥♥♥ are they trying to flee to Canada?

I guess if you think start to think a lot about it, there are a bunch of reasons why practically, this doesnt make a lot of sense.

however, what this plot convenience did do was lay up one of the most tense and masterful scenes of the game (in my opinion) - queuing for Canadian border control. if your play through does take you in the direction where you get to experience this scene, its fantastic.

They had temperature sensors at the Canadian border which is a good sign that they know how to find androids.

It was definitely the most interesting Kara level for me. On my first playthrough I got killed fleeing Jericho so I was on edge wondering how Kara was going to actually get through customs.

Agreed. Her chances would be better if she stayed with Markus. Because the risk of going to the border and then staying in Canada trying to hide their true selfs.

You wouldn't know this is a spoiler unless you played it. And even then it's more about the journey than the destination, which is why the game ends as soon as you actually get to Canada.
