 Title text: IT'S ALL REAL! |
Explanation
Canada is the country north of the USA. During political seasons, it's often claimed by partisan voters that if their side loses, they'll move. For Americans, this often comes to claims of moving to Canada.
The punchline lies in the urban legend that if you die in your dream, you die in real life. In this case, the second person has replaced dreaming with Canada, in order to warn his friend that moving to Canada is not a smart choice.
that's not really it... the punchline is also insinuating that Canada isn't real life.
