Friday Freakout


On the week-end before Canada Day...

Have you been around?

How well do you know Canada?

Once liberal Americans realise that there is no welcome mat when they arrive at the longest undefended border in the world, they tend to not want to immigrate to Canada after all:

Do any Americans actually try to emigrate after elections?

A small number do. However, "threats to move northward end up falling flat as Americans confront the hoops they need to jump through to get in," says Emily Sohn at Discovery News. "Statistically, numbers of immigrants don't actually peak every four years." The last time there was a significant immigration wave from America to Canada was during the Vietnam War, when many fled to escape the draft.
