ON MSNBC RIGHT NOW AMERICANS DEFECTING To Canada--3X the normal rate----

[Karenca]

AMERICANs defecting to Canada....
three times the usual amount.

Qoute:---"PEOPLE ARE NOT FEELING SAFE ANYMORE in the US, especially those with draft-age children"

[librarycard]

1. Who can blame them?

I'd do the same if I lived in the US, though I'd probably head to Mexico. Any stats on those headed south of the border, for good?

[righteous1]

3. I can

If these whiny spineless defeatist airheads are not willing to stand up and fight for what's right and just in their country; I say good riddance, the country is better off without them

[springhill]

14. Oh yeh?

And how many children do you have that have a draft in their future? I am willing to bet, none.

[Hobbes199]

5. Yeah, I can

I thought about defecting for the last 4 years. But it makes a lot more sense to stay and fight. Move to Florida or Texas if you can, instead. Let's take back some of these states — we can get enough people into FL or TX that will get the job done four years from now. Canada and Mexico are just going to start suffering more for what the US does, so unless you're going to... Well I guess there really is no good place, no place that will be safe. Stay. Fight. Get this country back.

[ayree be liberal]

11. We will get this country back.

It will be January 20th 2005 when Kerry will become President. I am 100% confident that this will happen. Yes.

[toymachines]

2. any stats on what areas the defectors moved from?

[Karenca]

4. no stats, but 15,000 protestors are

in Canada right now, protesting the IDIOT being in their country.

6. Funny...

7. I'm not leaving...

No fucking way I'm leaving this country to the Rethugs.

[GOPBasher]

8. I just hope they bring their absentee ballots.

[jamboi]

9. Defecting? Do you mean immigrating? Link? n/t

[Karenca]

10. jamboi-----

Immigrating.

[Spazito]

12. Wow, to use the word defecting brings back the cold war...

and eastern bloc citizens defecting to the west! So, is that saying the US is now the western version of the USSR in terms of lack of democracy? Americans used to emigrate to Canada and Canadians emigrate to the US, now they are 'defecting'?

[nolabels]

13. There was a normal rate for this happening also?

:wtf:

[Dragonfli]

15. They Don't Like Our Nazi Dictator Much In CA

And they have a sense of humor there

Some people just don't want to live the fascist dream so they hope to escape to a place that resembles what the US used to be.
