Lately, I have been increasingly concerned about what will happen to the United States if Bush is reelected in 2004. Since it's always better to be proactive, rather than reactive, I thought I would ask for advice on moving to Canada.
Why Canada? There are a lot of reasons: the language barrier is non-existent, the national anthem can actually be sung by the average citizen, and hey -- some of the coolest people on this board are from Canada. Also, I am intrigued by how your heads pop off your mouths when you talk. Seems like fun.
I realize that I'd have to make some sacrifices. For one -- I'd need a new line of work, since the U.S. government wouldn't take kindly to me working for the Canadian defense industry. I'd have to figure out how to watch American sports, since I'm just as in love with hockey as I ought to be. Also, it's damn cold up there, and I'd need to invest in some warm beanies to keep my bald head from freezing.
All kidding aside -- how hard is it for someone to move to Canada and get a job? Is property expensive? How bad are the tax rates? And (for those of you in Canada) -- would you ever want to live anywhere else?
