Why does a canadian have an obligation to help the US?

He owns more wealth, property, and control of businesses in the US than well over 99% of Americans.

The most effective thing he can do it take that tax revenue out of the US. Now New Zealand and Canada will be reaping all the benefits of having him there

Which countries do you think the mess will overflow into first? (Not to mention the ongoing global effects of the US dumpster fire)

Nationalism isn't a useful way to see the situation. It's everyone's problem, and those who have the wealth and influence to help are especially obliged to solve this.
