David Crosby is an icon of the American counterculture.

He's in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame both as a founding member of the Byrds and later with Crosby, Stills & Nash.

But Crosby appears prepared to turn his back on the United States if the Donald succeeds in his quest to become president.

In the tweet below, you can see his reaction to a question about what he might do.

Now if only Crosby can persuade his old pal Neil Young to join him on any exodus to Vancouver.

For both of them, a Trump presidency would represent, in the words of Crosby, such a long, long time before the dawn.

In the meantime, Crosby, Stills & Nash are planning a tour next year.

Below, you can see Crosby's reaction to one fan's question about whether it will include a Canadian leg.

And what if Scott Walker was to become Pres.? He's looking pretty looney just like Trump by saying "building a wall on the US northern border with Canada was 'a legitimate issue for us to look at' ”. Will Crosby still notice much difference?

Oh, for God's sake, David, could you be anymore dramatic...the U.S. has been FUBAR for years...do you really think Trump could make it that much worse?...after all...we are talking about a country where the Kardashians rule the media...you sound like Randy Quaid!!!

Many of us long time residents, not making seriously good coin, are being displaced from Vancouver. But while we're still here, we'll definitely welcome Crosby. We'll sweeten the trade sending Beiber, Rob Ford and Harper down south plus a first round draft pick.
