I don't suppose we could do swap, Canadian conservatives and provinces for, lefties and a couple of states?

That Slate article is lame. They would have been better off running my version: Fleeing to Canada for Excitable Liberal Dummies. :-)

Basicly I like Canadians, Austrailians, and New Zealanders and would prefer not to inflict our socialist lefties on them. They already have their own to deal with. France, Sweden, Spain, and Italy would be better destintions.

I know we tend to joke about it, but seriously, why don't these people leave? It's not that hard to do, and there are any number of Western countries that better embody their ideals. Isn't there a relevant adage about the courage of one's convictions?

"I'm sorry Canada, you might want to give them brochures for New Zealand and Australia to sort of spread out the pain."

Don't you dare! I know we started out as a convict colony, but we don't have to take that sort.

If we do wind up taking any American refugees, at least I want them to have criminal convictions of a sort that demonstrate initiative, enterprise, toughness and resilience.

Dewight: thank you, much appreciated, and I entirely agree.

They won't leave because they are big-mouthed liberals that don't actually think before they open their mouths.

Although, I wouldn't mind seeing a new version of Survivor starring some expats in France.
