#1 Fair is fair. For every 10 Bush evaders the US should get one Canadian conservative in exchange.

#2 ironically the Kilbournes are coming from a State where the Dems have just stolen (or are in the final stages of stealing) a Governorship

#3 Anonymoose: Fair is fair. For every 10 Bush evaders the US should get one Canadian conservative in exchange.

Every year, more Canadians move to the US than the other way around. Given the rough parity in living standards and the disparity in population (290m to about 30m), that's pretty amazing. The number of Americans moving to Canada should be way higher than the number of Canadians moving to the US.

#4 Don't let the door hit you in the ass on your way out, folks. Oh, and enjoy that new and improved Canadian law - Sharia. Buh-bye!

#5 Good riddance!

Can we help anybody else pack?

#6 Ditto to Barb! Can we convince any LLL Californian to join their socialist brothers in the great white north? Maybe we should enact a law that they must take so many LLL per Canadian we let in? Right now they (canadians) are moving here faster (by 3-to-1) than Amercians moving there. Maybe we should make that a 1-2 ratio?

#7 They do know that they have to give up 50% of their income in taxes, right? Or let me guess, they will keep their US citizenship, and opt to pay the lower taxes in the States instead. Sorry. They're not wanted. (or at least let me move south).

#8 Would you be willing to change your name to Becky Kilbourne and wearing a wig for the Washington state driver's license photo?

#9 Anything we can do to help you move, Rafael?

#10 Actually, CS, what really makes sense is a trade, California, Oregon and Washington for BC, less Vancouver, Alberta, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Yukon and Northwest Territories, with placement options for the Inuit.

#11 ed, if that was for me, then yes. On second thought, I would be forever affiliated with moonbats, so the final answer is no.

Dishman, sure. I can handle the move, but to help me assimilate faster, I'd need someone to show me the finer points of (legal) gun ownership. I wouldn't feel offended then, if somebody called me a "cowboy". [cowboy is sometimes used offensively up here, I've surely heard enough of it].

BTW, my father wants to move as well, and he wants to buy the biggest damn SUV that you Americans produce. Bring it on, World.

#12 Well, identity switch was worth a try. It's not like Becky will be needing it for a while. You get your gun and ammo when customs stamps your passport at the border. Be sure to ask for the NRA welcome package. You sure about wanting the biggest SUV?

#13 "I can handle the move, but to help me assimilate faster, I'd need someone to show me the finer points of (legal) gun ownership."

If you end up in Philadelphia, look me up and I'll take you to my favorite pistol range.

(We got Molson here, too, so you'll feel right at home.)

#14 Here's the right trade: for every US moonbat "exile," immediate US citizenship for any Canadian with either a) a PhD in hard science, engineering or math from a leading Canadian university or b) a strong entrepreneurial track record of starting at least two successful businesses during the last seven years.

But no switches back for a period of at least fifteen years. And no tax gaming by the US exiles. All or nothin'. Deal?
