I like it there, too, but if I was thinking of leaving the US for *political
reasons* I don't think that would be the place to go.  If you keep up with
anything Canadian politics they have lots of issues there, too, re: free
speech, what the government spends their money on, and some other things.

The people I ran into were super friendly also but in part because I was
from the states (but not states that border Canada) and so they knew from
my accent right away that I wasn't from there.  I am not sure how friendly
they are to each other.  ;)  Also I seemed to be visiting areas that didn't
get too many visitors from outside Canada (and especially not from a state
that didn't border them).  It was mostly rural Canada, from Thunder Bay
across to the Soo, and then down around the southern shore of Lake Huron.

I think I was the first person from Kentucky that most of them had ever met.

The few that got to talking politics were either not happy because (1) they
thought corporations had too much pull or (2) they thought their government
was too far left and their health care system sucked.  In other words, they
sounded a lot like Americans.

I am guessing after you lived there a few years, if you went there for
political reasons, you'd then be looking for another somewhere else.

Mike
