Is there a truely serious movement of people who are that worried they want to move to Canada for real????

I think I may start offering a tutorial on "how to act Canadian".

STEP ONE: Apologize for everything. Examples: if you spell a word wrong, point it out.

STEP TWO: WE REALLY SAY "EH".

STEP THREE: Start drinking real beer. Seriously, this part is important.

STEP FOUR: Take responsibility for crimes your ancestors commited, or even where ACCUSED of committing.

STEP FIVE: If your funny enough to make a living at it, STAY WHERE YOU ARE. You'll just end up moving back.


...sorry, gotta cut this short eh, I just spilled my Molson's on the keyboard and my LA agent called....

Reminds me of one of my favorite jokes. It's funnier hearing it live. You have to do the right vocal inflection. But here goes.

Q; How do Canadians spell "Canada"?

A: C, eh? N, eh? D, eh?

Last time I went to Canada, I went to PEI, and they had the shittiest beer ever. Coors, Bud, crap like that.

Best beer? Montana. But Boston is damn good too.

Gotta say I've been enjoying Boreal Blonde when I have it. They are definitely way more serious about beer here.

Recent article from a Cortez Island Paper.....

Canada Busy Sending Back Bush-dodgers

The flood of American liberals sneaking across the border into Canada has intensified in the past week, sparking calls for increased patrols to stop the illegal immigration. The re-election of President Bush is prompting the exodus among left-leaning citizens who fear they'll soon be required to hunt, pray and agree with Bill O'Reilly. Canadian border farmers say it's not uncommon to see dozens of sociology professors, animal-rights activists and Unitarians crossing their fields at night.

"I went out to milk the cows the other day, and there was a Hollywood producer huddled in the barn," said Manitoba farmer Red Greenfield, whose acreage borders North Dakota. The producer was cold, exhausted and hungry. "He asked me if I could spare a latte and some free-range chicken. When I said I didn't have any, he left. Didn't even get a chance to show him my screenplay, eh?" In an effort to stop the illegal aliens, Greenfield erected higher fences, but the liberals scaled them. So he tried installing speakers that blare Rush Limbaugh across the fields. "Not real effective," he said. "The liberals still got through, and Rush annoyed the cows so much they wouldn't give milk." Officials are particularly concerned about smugglers who meet liberals near the Canadian border, pack them into Volvo station wagons, drive them across the border and leave them to fend for themselves. "A lot of these people are not prepared for rugged conditions," an Ontoario border patrolman said. "I found one carload without a drop of dirnking water. They did have a nice little Napa Valley cabernet, though."

When liberals are caught, they're sent back across the border, often wailing loudly that they fear retribution from conservatives. Rumors have been circulating about the Bush administration establishing re-education camps in which liberals will be forced to drink domestic beer and watch NASCAR.

In the days since the election, liberals have turned to sometimes ingenious ways of crossing the border. Some have taken to posing as senior citizens on bus trips to buy cheap Canadian prescription drugs. After catching a half-dozen young vegans disguised in powdered wigs, Canadian immigration authorities began stopping buses and quizzing the supposed senior-citizen passengers. "If they can't identify the accordion player on The Lawrence Welk Show, we get suspicious about their age," an official said.

Canadian citizens have complained that illegal immigrants are creating an organic broccoli shortage and renting all the good Susan Sarandon movies. "I feel sorry for American liberals, but the Canadian economy just can't support them," an Ottawa resident said. "How many art-history majors does one country need?" In an effort to ease tensions between the United States and Canada, Vice President Dick Cheney met with the Canadian ambassador and pledged that the administration would take steps to reassure liberals. "We're going to have some Peter, Paul and Mary concerts. And we might put some edndangered species on postage stamps. The president is determined to reach out."
