Americans will be fleeing to Canada in droves as the US empire declines. I want to make my move now before the great rush for the border. We are only one Republican administration away from destruction.
If the damn globe would just tilt its axis and Canada end up where America is the population would zoom to half a billion overnight. As it is now 95% of the land is useless because of the frigid weather. Montreal has the right idea with their underground city that helps people cope with winter, but failing that most people couldn't get used to the sub-zero temps. That's the ONLY reason why I don't relocate there.
Actually, that's a plus for me. I like a frigid winter. The winters here in NYC are a little too tame for my taste. I can't recall it going below 0 degrees Fahrenheit ever here. I'd like to experience that once in a while. The only redeeming value are the one or two snowstorms that we get - yes I love the snow!... on the other hand the summers are miserable in New York - it's going up to 96 today. I'll take a Canadian winter over a NY summer any day.
America will become to Canada what Mexico is to America in the not so distant future. At least if Republicans get their way and turn us into a Third World corporate run state.
Yeah because, as we are all aware, it is all the Republican districts of the nation that are the war zones. You know, all the Republican inner cities.
They have a better standard of living for their population overall. They have less crime, less racism, less ignorance, less poverty, less political divide, less guns, less pollution... and on top of that they have an excellent public education system (Canada is one of the most educated societies in the world), a universal health care system that covers everyone both rich and poor, and a sound economy.
Canadian cities consistently rank as the cleanest and the most livable in the world with Toronto, Ontario; Calgary, Alberta; and Vancouver, British Columbia routinely taking the top spot. If I get the chance to move to Canada I'll do it in a heartbeat. It's a perfect place to live if you ask me. I'll leave America to the teabaggers. I won't wait until they turn us into a Third World Country.
Canada isn't better than America. What is keeping you here? You have the chance, if you want to leave , go.
Actually you have a point. Canada is like America without all the symptoms that comes with America.
Or maybe parts of America are like Canada. Think about it. If you take Minnesota, Wisconsin, North Dakota, Iowa or Nebraska, Montana, Wyoming, Idaho, Washington/Oregon, New Hampshire, Maine, Michigan, and Upstate New York, is this really so different from Canada?
What does the status quo U.S. healthcare system have to do with conservatism?
Canada actually encourages the immigration of highly skilled foreigners.
And what is the probability of that occurring? More or less than being struck by a meteorite?
There is something very interesting lurking behind the data here. Canada's population is about 34 million. If you add up the U.S. states in order of ascending murder rate, you reach a population of 36 million after number 14. Here they are:
ND
NH
NE
UT
ID
WY
HI
MN
OR
ME
MT
IA
MA
WI
Guess what? For these states, the murder rate is about 2.1 per 100,000. Not very different from Canada.
And look what happens when I highlights these states on a map (hint: if you put all of them together, it would look kind of like Canada).
Ouch the OP isn't going to like where you are going with this, LOL.
Actually you have a point. Canada is like America without all the symptoms that comes with America.
Canada has the highest per capita net immigration rate in the world. Its not hard to move there, are you going to do it or just post on city data how much you want to move there and how bad the US is?
Canada is a wonderful country to live in, been here most of my life....now if we could just get
rid of Baby Bush, aka Harper it would be even more wonderful!
