They are not capable of moving to Canada without your
encouragement?

In most cases, yes..  And being that you realize that
it is a meaningless thing to say, why would you bring
the topic up after their chosen candidate has
conceded?

I have heard people say "if you touch my car, I am
going to kill you!", but did not call the police
because I thought they were contemplating murder.

No, because as you pointed out they are "taking things
to the extreme."  A common human trait for purposes of
getting a point across.  The world would be a mess if
we took every extreme statement like this as truth.
