Several things I've noted about American expatriates in Canada as a class:

1. They are often the most viciously bigoted anti-Americans, far more so than even viciously bigoted anti-Americans born and bred in Canada.

2. They tend to the socialist left politically; relatively few are even just centre-left. They usually wind up in the ranks of the New Democratic Party.

3. They gravitate towards education, social services, the performing arts, journalism and the trade union, and few of them to commerce.

I can only think of a handful of American expatriates in Canada that I've met who didn't fall under these categories.

NELSON, B.C. - B.C. activists plan to erect a bronze sculpture honouring draft dodgers, four decades after Americans opposed to the Vietnam War sought refuge in Canada.

What the heck will the sculpture look like? A hairy bum in blue jeans and sandals with a burning U.S. flag in one hand and a bong in the other?

Nelson, B.C. is my metropolis, almost a 2-hour drive from my hidey-hole!

Baker Street, the main drag, looks like a down-at-heels chunk of Berkeley, Boulder, or Seattle.

It's plumb full of youthful moochers, and elderly, pony-tailed, time-warped hippies.

A smugger, more fatuous collection of Trudeaupian socialists you will not find!

Appalling. I do my business and get out.

I don't think you are alone. This may be a plot to attract American tourists who will come to the city to spit, piss, or defecate on it.

How about a statue to draft dodgers who went to prison? At least they were willing to pay a price for their decision, however misguided it might have been? Nothing heroic about going to Canada, except having to listen to a lot of jealous Canadians constantly criticize the US.

This is a stupid memorial but I have a heck of a lot more respect for someone
who went to Canada than I do Bill Clinton. At least they stood for something.

Normally I don't condone defacing statues, but in this case......
