In November 2004, David Drucker and his wife Pam were at home listening to NPR when they heard the news that would change their lives: George W Bush had been re-elected as president of the United States.
Canada considers changing national anthem to include country's women Read more In the lead-up to election day, the couple had made a pact: if John Kerry won, they would build their dream house in Vermont; if he lost, they would move to Canada. A year later, they were on their way to Vancouver to start their new lives.
âItâs been a little over a decade now. We have clear eyes about what we did. We have no intention of going back,â Drucker said.
The Druckers were not alone. On election day in 2004, a record-setting 179,000 people visited Canadaâs official immigration website, the majority of them Americans. And as anxieties about the outcome of 2016 begin to grow, some Americans are again musing about fleeing to their northern neighbor.

Sadly, of those 179,000 leftist nitwits who looked into it, few actually made the move.
Just what Canada needs: More whiney American lefties.
Goodbye and good riddance.
More Socialists from Down South may be headed your way.
No kidding. We have enough America hating lefty buffoons up here, including our dreamy new PM.
LOL. Just wait until Donald Trump gets elected and then Canada will be talking about creating a border fence to stop illegals crossing from the US.
Canada is dull and uninspiring. If you have money, you can do better than Canada. The place is not one to live the dream, it just isn’t and never will be.
Hmmm. When did the Cruzs move there?
Interestingly, following the end of the Revolutionary War in 1783, a large number of well-off conservative Tories were deported to Canada. This radically changed the makeup of the political class, and tilted the country to what was then the left, but would now be considered the right.
There has been a lot of talk that if we crack down on immigration laws, illegal aliens will sef-deport. Let’s come up with some laws that encourage liberals to vote with their feet, too. Or start enforcing laws they already dislike, like eliminating federal funds for sanctuary cities.
You have my condolences.
But he’s so good looking!
Doesn’t that count for lots?
OK, I’m willing to make sacrifices.
We can move all the lefties in America to Canada, and all the Conservatives can move to America.
Conservatives keep Alberta and Saskatchewan though. Lefties wouldn’t know what to do with the resources.
If they were listening to NPR, they were being fed a diet of daily publicly funded leftist propaganda. They were probably socialists in waiting already.

True. If they would just stay! But, they keep coming back. For what? We don’t want you, you are not happy here unless it looks like Canada. So, stay you butts in Canada where you can appreciate the socialism. All talk no action.
Thing is, all you need to know about Canada is that pretty much all of it is north of North Dakota.
:-)
You’ve never been to Alberta quite obviously.
When Obama was reelected there was no place left for me to run off to.
