North of the Border, Eh?
Yes, every post I make about Canada will have "Eh" at the end. Otherwise you wouldn't know what I'm talking aboot. OK, enough with the Canadian-trashing (for now).
Anyway, remember back in November, when a bunch of liberals threatened to emmigrate to Canada becuase of Bush winning? FoxNews.com has an update:
Canadian officials say they did note an uptick in interest among Americans seeking to relocate, as evidenced by tracking numbers on Canada's immigration Web site.
On Nov. 2, the site received 86,937 page visits, a hefty surge from the previous daily average of 20,000. The next day, Nov. 3, the number of inquiries from the United States alone skyrocketed to 115,628.
The site had "a spike," said Maria Iadinardi, a spokeswoman for Canada's Citizen and Immigration Department. "For the month of November, we hit a record high for the year."
But due to the lengthy application process, Canadian embassy officials said they won't know until April if a substantial number of Americans put their passports where their mouths were.
There's a lot more to the article itself, but that was the higlight for me. I, for one, agree with Michelle Malkin, "Don't let the door hit you on the way out," said the syndicated columnist, nobody is forced to live in America. Rather than complain and talk about leaving, "go for it," she said. "It goes back to the old saying, 'Love it or leave it.' Clearly, they don't love it." Anyone who truely doesn't want to actively halp America should just leave. Really. Even when the Clinton Impeachment was happening, I was still proud to be an American. Get over it, or leave.
