Oh yes it is! The first hour of work you do every day is to pay for the fuel to heat your home.
I have so many friends in the US that really ARE fed up enough to get up and get out. The province of Ontario has been advertising for gay doctors and nurses to come to Canada to help us to alleviate the doctor shortage up here. (this approach seems to be turning around the brain drain we have been seeing for the last, what, thirty years or so as our doctors get trained in Canada, then are lured away to lucrative US jobs.)
And medical marijuana? Whats that? We don't need no stinkin' prescription!
Send us your poor hedge fund managers your realestate developers and your huddled masses of movie makers and liberal arts majors. No, that's not a joke...we need you guys!
I'm sure there are downsides, but I can't see any reason why anyone wouldn't want to move to Canada. I don't think I've ever seen this many people vehemently proclaiming intent to move if the election goes the other way. Oddly, now that it begins to look like Obama will be elected, I don't see Republicans saying THEY intend to move. Perhaps they're made of sterner stuff.
Oh, I've threatened it, Bill. But then I'm really an independent. However, my fiercely republican friends have threated to move as well, but mostly to somewhere that has less invasive government, not Canada specifically.
Perhaps they have private islands or something ;-)
Didn't Rand have her "movers and shakers" all move to some place like Arizona, and then found a "perfect state"? Its been more than a few decades since I suffered through "Atlas Shrugged".
Its been done before though. Things always seem to go pear shaped.
Yup, they essentially withdrew to their own little Utopia and amused themselves by doing things like rewriting the Constitution to give more moral backing to the wonder of business -- excuse me, Business -- while the outside world collapsed.

Ok, I think that was seriously funny.
Wait, it was a joke?
Lol! I kind of wondered if you realized that :)
Yes, I did.
Not as cold as you think! Hmmm.

Ayn Rand would approve!

Pear shaped?
