#1 Repost - this was here a while back.

1) His "War veteran" status is in question

2) His ancestry is in question likewise.

But the main thing is for all these people:

Who cares?

If they are such moral cowards as to cut and run when things don't go their way, and so lazy that they will not put forth the effort to workand change things, then we not only don't need that type, we dont WANT that type.

Let Canada have these complacent cowardly lazy losers.

#2 This will amount to .00000001% of the population. Most of them will return when they find out they will work much harder for much less in Canada. What ever skills they take with them will be quickly replaced. For those that take this route good luck. The US gains population from Canada every year at a much higher rate. I for one will not miss you.

#3 Yeah, compassionate Canada, where the Premier of British Columbia (equivalent to State Governor) laughed during his mugshot snapping, after being arrested for DUI in Hawaii.

And where 6 blue pigs (AKA: cops) were convicted for taking 3 street persons to a secluded park and beating them to a pulp, with batons.

I would rather live in Alabama, circa 1961, as a negro.

#4 Canada, where disapproval of homosexuality is banned hate speech even when there's no hate involved.

#5 Maybe we start a charity like Save the Moonbats where we can sponsor them to move to foreign countries. For only 39¢ a day, you too can sponsor an Ethnic Studies professor in Botswana.

#6 Seems like ol' Melanie was busy eating the dirt in her "poor lead-mining town in Missouri". Wait till she gets her Canadian tax bill.

#7 Small loss. Any chance we can get them banned from returning. BTW: Where's Robert Redford? Didn't he promise to move out too?

#9 "The number of U.S. citizens who are actually submitting Canadian immigration papers and making concrete plans is about three or four times higher than normal," said Linda Mark, an immigration lawyer in Vancouver.

And the number of Canadians moving south is?...

#10 Mojo, it's over a 3-1 exchange in favor of the U.S. Seems more of our Northern cousins would rather live in this "hellhole of a nation" than Americans that like the idea of heading north.

#11 "I love the United States," he said as he stood on the Vancouver waterfront, staring toward the Coastal Range, which was lost in a gray shroud.

A lie.

#12 You know, I feel a duty as a conservative to display more principle than what the left does, and so normally I wouldn't want to celebrate this kind of thing, but I'd love to wave these guys off. They hate this country that much, then they can go. No one's keeping them here. And at least they're going somewhere else instead of continuing to make life difficult for the rest of us.

#13 These people bore me. Good bye, good luck. Please turn out the lights and leave your passport on the dresser when you leave.

#14 Be nice to Canada, they may become part of the US someday.

I imagine the homoginization of the EU will cause many French and English to emmigrate and I'm not sure fragile Canada has a chance. If Canada splits I think it's likely that some provinces will join up with the US. I'd be happy to have them even if that shifted our political spectrum leftwards.

#15 I think Jarhead hits the nail on the head with the passport issue. Do these folks intend to have dual US/Canadian citizenship, so that they can come back when they have a tough time in Canda or if the US political scene becomes more to their liking (e.g., the emergence of the Communist Party as a major factor in US politics)? Or do they really intend to stand by their principles?

In either event, buh-bye at least for now. Mind the door.

#16 Not only the passport, are they going full bore and paying the highre tax rate the Canadian are obliged. I also believe there is way too much ink and bandwidth wasted on these sore losers. Face it they don't have the American spirit! Americans learn to adapt and overcome setbacks, not run and hide. "Was it over when the Germans bombed Pear Harbor?" (From Animal House) Enjoy Canada losers.

-Damn right brother Sarge, damn right.

"Was it over when the Germans bombed Pear Harbor?"
-Germans? Don't stop him, he's on a roll.

#19 Wait till she gets her Canadian tax bill.

Doubt it. With dual citizenships (or permanent resident status), they will opt to pay the lower US taxes instead...and probably stay in touch with their doctor in the US, y'know, just in case they have to wait a year for a medical procedure.

#20 Be nice to Canada, they may become part of the US someday.

I can probably live with that.

Mexico, on the other hand, is an entirely different matter....

#22 Hey, it's a big country. At any given time you'll find a few people considering moving to Canada. Some of them might even be feeling alienated because of their political views. Who cares?
