The self importance of these celebrities is mind boggling sometimes.
Yet here we are with a thread that has gone on for seven pages. Apparently some people care, even if they claim not to. I wouldn't know what most of these celebs thought if it weren't for certain folks posting to complain about it.

Well vis-à-vis your implied meme Canada being worse than the U.S.; I guess you just shot yourself in the foot yet again, eh?

I believe Canadians have gone beyond the U.S. with regards to socialism, and taxes. However, we tax at very high rates also, but probably not as high as they do. My point was that Canada is not alone in the growth of government, and taxation. We need to resist government's constant quest for more tax revenue instead of trying to be more efficient, and cut operating expenses, and spending.

Just because people look at their income tax, and think they only pay X%, you must also look at the myriad other taxes we are charged, and include them in the TOTAL TAX BURDEN we pay. I believe per capita total tax burden is higher in Canada.

What makes her think Canada will allow her to relocate there?
They have some pretty stringent immigration requirements!
Regardless, just get gone, woman. I, for one, will not miss you!

Think twice Barbra. If you leave California you'll freeze your fat as off in Canada come winter.

Celebrities unbelivable!

Notice the common denominator?
ROFL.

Just keep being polite it's the Canadian way.

Perhaps all these Hollywood stars can form a Caravan and head for the Canadian border.

I am also fairly certain that this is a new South Park episode in the making.

There used to be a time when a celeb proclaiming they’re moving away meant something...now it’s just a big nothingburger.
