Don’t let the door hit you in the arse
ABC News is reporting that more and more Americans are moving to Canada?
O Canada! More Americans Heading North.
…
The number of U.S. citizens who moved to Canada last year hit a 30-year high, with a 20 percent increase over the previous year and almost double the number who moved in 2000.In 2006, 10,942 Americans went to Canada, compared with 9,262 in 2005 and 5,828 in 2000, according to a survey by the Association for Canadian Studies.
Of course, those numbers are still outweighed by the number of Canadians going the other way. Yet, that imbalance is shrinking. Last year, 23,913 Canadians moved to the United States, a significant decrease from 29,930 in 2005.
“There has been a definite increase in the past five years — the number hasn’t exceeded 10,000 since 1977,” says Jack Jedwab, the association’s executive director. “During the mid-70s, Canada admitted between 22,000 and 26,000 Americans a year, most of whom were draft dodgers from the Vietnam War.”
The current increase appears to be fueled largely by social and political reasons, says Jedwab, based on anecdotal evidence.
Of course, they totally ignore why the number of Canadians moving to America is so disproportionate. But oh well.
I say good riddance. Socialists aren’t needed nor welcome here in the America. I’ve always said, if you don’t like America, you’re free to leave. Instead of trying to turn the United States into some Marxist utopia, go somewhere else that better fits your philosophy.
I’m glad to see so many far-left liberals taking my advice.
