So people want to escape a healthcare plan to a country where they have an even better healthcare plan...

It would make more sense when they move to a country like Mexico...

It's like saying: "I'm an American and I hate the death penalty, that's why I move to China"

Of course, some Americans will move to Africa because their president is black.

Bah! It's not that cold, he says. It's -10 degrees C where I am, without wind chill. (Makes it feel like -20) Just wait until December...

Back on topic, I already live here (though I am not gay) and I have to say, even though we have our faults (*Cough*Harpertron and the Cons*Cough*), it is a very nice place to live, and I'd recommend it to anyone that doesn't mind the weather and the mosquitoes.

I thought I'd add a Canadianism in for fun. Though apparently they can be pretty nasty in and around the Winnipeg area, though I've never been there myself.

I'm guessing you live in or around the Lower Mainland or Victoria then, because I don't think the Newfies would be running around in shorts at this time of year.

Did you really? I was in long pants and a sweatshirt when I was outside today, had to add a light jacket for the evening, and I'm way south of Canada...

Edit: And there's not a chance I'm leaving. We're fighting this one out, until we win.

Did you read the OP?


Yes, I did. Did you follow the news lately?

The OP isn't telling about 'why' Americans should move to Canada.

But in 'my' news, the main reason why some Americans make a lot of noise is about healthcare. We even have a permanent thread on top of this forum about this specific issue.

Of course, it takes some calculations and consults with experts to make the correlation.

We're fairly open to almost any political ideology, barring racist or overtly extreme ones. You may not find much in the way of representation though, as the closest parties to your beliefs are most likely the Social Credit or the Canadian Communist Party.
