jährliche Rangliste der besten Orte zum Leben in Kanada?

In “jährliche Rangliste der besten Orte zum Leben in Kanada? Es gibt immer Canada,” der New York Times writes that “The pledge (to move across the border) comes mostly from left-leaning Americans who view Canada, with its universal health care and cultural progressiveness, as a liberal refuge from Red State America.”

Allerdings, do people actually make the move?

Das Times reports that “…the number of United States citizens who permanently reside in Canada doubled during George W. Bush’s presidency (von 5,800 in 2000 auf 11,200 in 2008, nach Citizen and Immigration Canada).”

It may not be elections motivating the move, obwohl. Das Times concludes that “pocketbook issues outweigh politics,” with far more people relocating for work than for political reasons.

So, what do Canadians think of Americans’ declarations to relocate after the election?

Das Washington Post conducted a twitter poll and concluded that Kanadier werden durch amerikanische Drohungen amüsiert nach Norden verschieben, wenn ihr Kandidat verliert.

Cool by me as long as it’s only the good ones. Aber haben sie über unser Winterangebot wissen?

We welcome them. After all we took the loyalists after independence….

Persönlich, I would like you to handle your own drama. Aber, Sie wissen,, we’ve got room.

Here’s a question for the Americans out there: Did you come to Canada for political reasons?

Would you move across the border if your candidate loses?

Please leave a comment and let us know what you think.
