Americans Flock to Canada’s Immigration Web Site

OTTAWA (Reuters) - The number of U.S. citizens visiting Canada’s main immigration Web site has shot up six-fold as Americans flirt with the idea of abandoning their homeland after President Bush’s election win this week.

“When we looked at the first day after the election, Nov. 3, our Web site hit a new high, almost double the previous record high,” immigration ministry spokeswoman Maria Iadinardi said on Friday.

On an average day some 20,000 people in the United States log onto the Web site, www.cic.gc.ca – a figure which rocketed to 115,016 on Wednesday. The number of U.S. visits settled down to 65,803 on Thursday, still well above the norm.

Bush’s victory sparked speculation that disconsolate Democrats and others might decide to start a new life in Canada, a land that tilts more to the left than the United States.

Matt,

I must have been here a long time, because as soon as I saw that you were the last post, I had a feeling you were going to make that joke. Being that you’re Canadian and all. Weird, eh?

What a pathetic collection of pussies. Although, if Ashcroft decides to issue mandatory pink triangles to gay Americans (“just so we can find you if we need to”), I’ll be heading to the nearest Tim Horton’s tout motherfuckin’ suite!

You’d better learn to drop that apostrophe, eh.

The closest one is in Columbus. I’ll drive ya. I’m not sharing my crullers though.

The pink triangles won’t come until 2008. In 2012 gays will be rounded up into their own communities, for their protection or course. The communities will be well protected with high walls and razor wire.
