Disaffected Americans Moving to Canada

According to this article on the ABC News website, the number of Americans moving to Canada is at a 30 year high. The article attributes this to political disagreement with the Bush administration in particular, and the trend lines in American society in general.

The underlying political bias at ABC News becomes obvious. That 10,000+ Americans are dissatisfied enough to move north is news; that nearly 24,000 Canadians were dissatisfied enough to move south is not.

I have to feel that we are getting the best end of this trade. The U.S. is losing soreheads and misfits and gaining ambitious strivers.

Poor Canada....
