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.

I was there for almost eight years and I hung on (barely). It was pretty tough in University. I swear they hated to hand over my diploma LOL!
