The Northeast probaly has the best quality of life in the world but we have places like Alabama and Mississippi to brink us down in the quality of life rankings.
No offense to Mississippi and Alabama, still proud to be in the same country as them.
New England has hardly any poverty, best universities in the world, a lo of big companies there, great transportation, but thanks to southern states we are letting Australians and Canadians talk crap about us.
Please don't tell me your basing this off of what mitt Romney said, mitt Romney is a millionaire who thinks anyone that doesn't have a range rover is living off the government, and I doubt half of Americans are in poverty.
So you are saying Romney was lying?, i never doubted it for a moment ,, what about what the link has to say?

You have no idea what your talking about, you think you know everything about America...I almost laughed when you were assuming I was wrong cause I said mitt was lying. Politicians lie in America silly. I already said something about the link...
You come on this Canadian forum pompously giving us a lame link to America having a better quality of life than Canada/Australia, i give you a link and words from a presidential candidate stating otherwise and now you are getting all belligerent and defensive.
Please proceed.
I'd rather live in a country where even if I were falsely accused, or, heaven forbid, did commit an actual crime, I would be given a fair term of imprisonment (not excessive like in the U.S.) and held in conditions at least somewhat conducive to rehabilitation.
Sure, there are false accusations and false convictions, but that's an unintended side effect of having any legal system.
Being locked up is not something most people outside certain groups have to worry about. Certainly most Canadians who come here do not have to.
Going back to the original question, some reasons might be:
1) Excellence in career - The best and most driven of the bunch who wish to make a lot of money and pay less in taxes come to the U.S.
2) Warm climates - Something you don't have in Canada. Think Florida, Texas, California, Hawaii, etc.
3) Love - Living in a border area, I know many who have moved here because of trans-national romances. This might be getting more rare as border restrictions increase.

You nailed it. Bigger bucks, comfort and lovin' - I think that about sums it up in a nutshell.
I'm not calling you a RWNJ i'm just pointing out that IMO FOX is more an entertainment channel that caters mostly to what the rightwing wants to hear, i find it to be an unreliable source of information as they have a propensity to lie,embellish and fabricate information to the point where their news has to be accompanied by the quantifier "we report,You decide"
Some day maybe you will understand that the other media outlets do the exact same thing you accuse Fox of doing.

If you are under the delusion that all media sources are like FOX you may as well do yourself a favor and unplug..FOX is the journalistic equivalent of Professional wrestling and in no way can be relied upon for factual reporting, thus their motto of "We report you decide" and one of their many major gafs "Romney in a landslide"

Canadians move to the USA for many reasons A wider range of job potential, Warmer weather in the south.Some just dont like Canada and think their lives will be more fulfilling in the USA.
It is usually just the professionals who migrate to the US for more solid opporitunity.
