Why Canada?, why move there? Options

[*kryogenix*]

after this years election, many kids at my school (and many users of these forums) have said "THAT'S IT, I'M MOVING TO CANADA!" Why? Is your relocation going to some how affect the other 270 million people who live in the US? I'm going to quote the APB

 
A few thoughts on the election... An observation that I touched on breifly above but have never understood, why do Liberals always bluff like they are going to move to Canada when they don't get their way? What the fsck is that? I mean, first off, no, no you aren't going to move to Canada. You are going to stay here in the U.S., uncomfortably close to me and continue to whine indefinitely. Because that is what you would rather do. You would rather be miserable here than be happy in Canada (if such a thing is possible). And why Canada? If I decided that I were through with the U.S., I think I would be able to find a slightly more attractive new home than Canada. Bermuda, Cyprus, the Virgin Islands... It doesn't take a genius to look at a globe and come up with better options than Canada--a cold, empty place denizened by American impostors with bad hair, acid washed jeans and slightly strange accents.

Honestly, how many of the people who say they will move to Canada will actually move? Frankly, I could care less if they moved. America can do without them.
