Turncoat Traitor Americans Flee to Canada
Quote:
NEW YORK (AP) -- For all they share economically and culturally, Canada and the United States are increasingly at odds on basic social policies -- to the point that at least a few discontented Americans are planning to move north and try their neighbors' way of life.
http://www.cnn.com/2003/US/Northeast....ap/index.html

I have no commentary.

Its not the first time that American and Canadian policy have diverged to the point that Americans have gone North. US and Canada will eventually come back together, and the people will eventually come home(most of them anyway).

Ahem. Don't worry Yanks, There is a steady flow of people heading South seeking relief from excessive taxation, and who don't think your politics are so bad. This just might even up some of the trends.

The thread title speaks volumes of the thread starter.

Perhaps these Americans are simply tired of their tax dollars going to the rich.
