Canadians urge disaffected left to elect a move north (http://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1280214/posts)

SEATTLE -- Got the blue-state blues? Rudi Kischer feels your pain.

The immigration lawyer in Vancouver, British Columbia, plans seminars in three US cities -- Seattle, San Francisco, and Los Angeles -- to tell Americans frustrated with President Bush's reelection that the grass is greener north of the border. And that is not an allusion to Canada's more-lenient marijuana laws.

"We started last year getting a lot of calls from Americans dissatisfied with the way the country is going," Kischer said. "Then after the election, it's been crazy up here. The Canadian immigration website had 115,000 hits the day after the election, from the US alone. We usually only get 20,000 hits."

[snip] Canada suddenly has utopian appeal for many left-leaning Americans. Its universal health care, gay rights, abortion rights, gun-control laws, drug laws, opposition to the Iraq war, ban on capital punishment, and ethnic diversity mirror many values of the American left. Immigrants, including an estimated 1 million Americans, make up nearly 20 percent of Canada's population. The United Nations named Toronto the world's most multicultural city.

People from texas are not welcome, so dont come. Cowboy hats are only worn by the gay community in vancouver or toronto

[F L E S H]

I don't know... You see quite a few cowboys in Alberta and Saskatchewan too... :D

I don't even own a cowboy hat..it's too cold in Canada,and I would never leave my beloved Texas-to live around a bunch of daggum socialists-anyhow.

With my long hair and bushy beard,the RCMP would think I was a grower-until the first time I spoke with my Texas drawl..you can keep Canada.

You see, in Canada, we don't judge people by how they look, buddy. Believe me, I've seen a lot of long hair and bushy beards in Montreal, and nobody harasses them. IF you move to a Canadian city, especially Montreal/Toronto/Vancouver, you will learn the true meaning of cultural diversity, and you will be flabergasted at how no one pays any mind anymore to the ethnicity of other people.

I, for example, am Italian, I have a Chinese girlfriend, her bestfriends are cambodian and Laotian, and their boyfriends are Lebanese and Filipino, my best friend is Vietnamese (oh right, americans don't like vietnamese cause they're ALL communists...) and his girlfriend is French-Canadian..... It goes on and on, and nobody really cares, cause we look at the person's personality.

Besides, Santa Claus has long hair and a bushy beard, and the RCMP doesn't go after him... :D

[ineedskillz]

Ya Torog you got it all wrong about Canada..

I would like your opinion on why the U.S is such a great place to live..
When the rest of the world can't stand Americans..
And when I travel abroad I have to let people know Im a Canadian..
Cuz it's funny how shitty you get treated when people think your American.

Daggum- not a word. Speak english hick. I hate texans, you are the most ignorant and stupid people on earth. And you are proud to be stupid, its like a badge of honour, being stupid.
Dont try to use this fake ass daggum shit on me you white trash fuck. And stop talking shit about muslims or i will turn your Jewish american princess GF into a lampshade or a bar of soap.
No go watch high school football

[Libertarian Toker]

Dang, that rufusthestuntbum feller sure does seem to hate a lot. I gotta think someone like that would be no fun to party with at all. I reckon I'd rather party with a long haired country boy from Texas over that dude any day.

My offer is still good if anyone wants to stay in my apartment here in New Brunswick until Bush steps-down....IF he steps-down :S

Thanks Torog, I'm glad you think Canadians are socialistic. I take that as a compliment :D
(why do people think that socialists=communists? Just because communists show socialistic stances rather than capitalistic ones, that doesn't mean all socialists are communists hehe)

Howdy rufusthebum,

Dang..I'm glad ya told me how ya really feel..was it cathartic ? Here in America,we gave ourselves Freedom of Speech,so despite your best attempts..you ain't gonna change a daggum thing about how this here Texan talks.

As for muslims..I'll daggum well talk about a society that hasn't contributed anything good to the world,in centuries..all the world gits from muslims,is misery,despair,terrorism,death,murder,torture,rape ,slavery and pure hatred towards all who are not muslim. All it takes..is one muslim imam,to make one speech for jihad..and an entire mosque full of formerly peaceful muslims,will go on a bloody rampage against all infidels-like you.

You best be glad-that my Jewish girlfriend,can't reach through this here daggum computer screen-or she'd snatch them tiny little acorns you call balls-right out from between yore legs.:mad:

Howdy LT,

Thanx for them kind words:)

Howdy ineedskillz,

You ask:" I would like your opinion on why the U.S is such a great place to live.. "

You'll never understand why America is such a great place-until you go and live in a country like Saudia Arabia,like I did. I went there to drill waterwells and got a first-hand taste of what it's like to live in a brutal dictatorship..and it made me appreciate America more than I ever thought was possible.

If you don't understand why America is so unique and better,then it's probably the fault of yore liberal school teachers-who hate America.

I come from a family of fiercely independent,self-reliant frontier folks-we don't believe in the motivation-killing,independence stifling effects of socialism and communism.

Have a good one...Torog

Howdy Ampersand,

You're welcome,if it truly makes ya feel better..the fact is,is that Canada is a socialist country-even the media is run by the goverment-socialism..is just a heartbeat away from communism.

Have a good one...Torog

[Torog]

Howdy The C,

You wonder: Ha ha and you woudl ahve a probelm showing what your asciated with?(translation: Ha Ha and you would have a problem showing what your associated with ?)

Not at all,in fact..I would wear something that made sure that there was no doubt-that I was a proud American and Texan..may not make it over the border..oh well..

You'll never hear me apologizing for being an American and Texan..no matter where I go in the world.

Have a good one...Torog

I went to a school where about 70% of the people were muslim. You are talking shit.

Peace

Howdy Herbaholic,

Dang it..you're probably right..I apologize to any muslims that I may have offended..I'm just a little bit upset and frustrated..after hearing about Mrs.Hassan being murdered after doing so many good things in Iraq.

[Herbaholic00]

Mrs Hassans Murder was a complete injustice.


Peace

Fuck, I never thought of it that way before. Socialism...it's the gateway to communism! That's genius! Alright, now that I have my head on straight, I urge all Canadians to join me in fighting this looming orange level threat of communism by becoming capitalists.....it'll be a perfect life.
We'll work 50 hours a week in jobs we hate so that we can get money. With that money we'll buy 'stuff'. When we run out of room, we'll buy bigger houses so that we can fit more 'stuff'...and so on and so on until we die. Then at our funerals, we'll be remembered for having a twat-load of 'stuff'. Then our organs will be ripped out of our bodies by loved-ones and relatives to be sold to the highest-bidder, regardless of need. *sniff* beautiful :*-)

Have a good one...Torog

[pisshead]

what's wrong with fleeing when you see the country you grew up in turning into a socialist/fascist homeland security dictatorship?

they did it in the 30's when hitler was still a good christian leader, because they saw the evil he was planning. were those people wrong?

when you see a great evil taking place in this country and everyone else is cheering it on, i can understand why they'd want to leave.

granted, this time, there really is less to choose from since the entire world is coming under this control, but i'd still take the middle of nowhere USA over canada.

oh, and socialism torog, leads to fascism actually. after the wealth is transferred to the few that love you (as if happening now), you get hyper fascism, which we're beginning to see now.

sorry i posted this twice. i meant to edit the first one and repost it, to no avail!
Howdy pisshead,

You ask:" they did it in the 30's when hitler was still a good christian leader, because they saw the evil he was planning. were those people wrong?"

Well dang it-when ya put it that way..I reckon that you could be right.

You inform me:" oh, and socialism torog, leads to fascism actually. after the wealth is transferred to the few that love you (as if happening now), you get hyper fascism, which we're beginning to see now. "

I stand corrected..thanx..(learn something new-everyday..)

You state:" i'd still take the middle of nowhere USA over canada. "

I say: That's a big 10-4 ! Canada is too cold...cold,wet weather..makes my arthritis act up..lol.

Have a good one...Torog

[pisshead]

how does ganja work on the arthritis?

[Torog]

how does ganja work on the arthritis?
Well..it relieves the pain somewhat..I don't know how medical mj would work,cuz I ain't never had any..but basic mex-brick and strong skunk,both help pretty much..I can only imagine what really potent mmj would do. Another way it helps..is the anti-spasmodic relief that I git from weed,the chronic pain I have from my back,causes my muscles to spasm and git all tightened up..but soon as I toke a doobie..it starts to make me relax and make me able to even breath better,because my rib muscles tighten up from the pain.

Mrs Hassans Murder was a complete injustice.
That upset me sooo much :(
A woman who for 30 years has dedicated herself to helping the poor of Iraq - her execution made me sick to my stomach.
I hope and pray we see an end to it all soon but I honestly fear we're a long way off from a peaceful conclusion.

Peace and Love to you all xx

[Herbaholic00]

"Peace cannot be kept by force. It can only be achieved by understanding." (Albert Einstein)

Is it really unavoidable that, because of our passions and our inherited customs, we should be condemned to annihilate each other so thoroughly that nothing would be left over which would deserve to be conserved? Is it not true that all the controversies and differences of opinion which we have touched upon in our strange exchange of letters are insignificant pettiness compared to the danger in which we all find ourselves? Should we not do everything in our power to eliminate the danger which threatens all nations alike? (Albert Einstein, 1947)

I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones. (Albert Einstein)

i know, i know.. im over-doing it on the Einstein quotes? lol

What the fuck, two people get a "have a good one" from torog, he just blocks/ignores me.

Lol i dont understand.
Do i not meet up to his capatlist standards, or have my shit typing skills turned him and his speach styled format off?

[GHoSToKeR]

lol C :p

[Lovinhigh]

Because Bush was "elected" gives me more reason to stay in the U.S. to fight for the left. Please, although migrating to be w/ our friends to the north is an inviting alternative, the left must stay and fight these right-wing fascist, hypocritical pigs. Please, don't run. I share in your sentiments, but Americans must stay and fight. Become involved and help us. Thanks.

The C Howdy The C,

I went back and checked my replies to ya..and found that I did in fact,tell ya to "Have a good one",in response to your first post-but not to your second reply..I apologize for that..from now on-I will always urge you to "Have a good one"..I hope that you can forgive me-because I don't want you to think that your opinion doesn't matter to me. I value your opinion,as well as everyone else's opinion here.

With all sincerity..I wish you a good one...Torog :D
