The Number of Americans Moving to Canada in 2006 Hit a 30-Year High
Blame Canada!
It may seem like a quiet country where not much happens besides ice hockey, curling and beer drinking. But our neighbor to the north is proving to be quite the draw for thousands of disgruntled Americans.
The current increase appears to be fueled largely by social and political reasons, says Jedwab, based on anecdotal evidence.
"Those who are coming have the highest level of education ? these aren't people who can't get a job in the states," he says. "They're coming because many of them don't like the politics, the Iraq War and the security situation in the U.S. By comparison, Canada is a tension-free place. People feel safer.
BUT...
Of course, those numbers are still outweighed by the number of Canadians going the other way.
Every silver lining has a dark cloud!!
Y'all don't come back now, hear.

A penny here a penny there.
