Is this the reason the unemployment rate in the US is gradually going down?

If Canada was really smart they would setup manufacturing plants right near the border. Then they could siphon off some of the millions of out of work Americans. People could rent or buy homes near the border on the American side and commute to work.

Canada gets a whole bunch of workers who won't be using their Healthcare system and Obama can keep killing business in America for 4 more years but claim he created millions of jobs by chasing our workers out of the country.

Sounds like a plan!

Don’t you then pay taxes to two countries?

A hard call to make for those who find themselves unable to work here. I applaud those who can make the tough decisions to go WHERE the work is, in spite of the hardships on themselves and thei families by doing so. That is showing the ‘can do no matter what’ spirit that I so love about Americans. I wish them well.

Canada is becoming the land of opportunity and the US is becoming the land of foodstamps. My how things changed in the last 20 years!

It is my understanding that the Eagle Ford Shale project in Texas and the North Dakota drilling areas are hiring like crazy as well.

If I were a young man, not in the military and not in college, I would head there.

Any chance (hahahahaha) of Canada changing (hahahahaha) their gun laws?

:)

I’d be there in a heartbeat if they did.

Kudos to them, anyway, for luring disgruntled Americans. Of which there are many.

Sounds to me like a person would need to hire professional help on both sides of the border, but the hassle might be worth it in terms of a doable tax bill. Good luck to everyone who goes to the Great White North! Hope you find plenty of work!

Canadian companies are advertising in all the military retiree magazines looking to hire US Military Veterans for various jobs...not just petroleum. Seems that US military veterans get an easier clearance to work in Canada...Canada seems to like our Military vets better than the Obama-Noids do

To be honest, I won’t be surprised to see more Americans coming for job to Canada.
Right now, Michigan looks like a third world hellhole from Ontario, Canada.
About same like one can see Mexico down south.
If you ask one in Windsor, Ontario what is coming on their mind if you say “United States” they aren’t thinking Hollywood, liberty etc, but poverty, crime, ignorance etc.

free universal healthcare

Free? No significant taxes to pay for it?

We'll all be drinkin' free bubble-up,
An' eatin' that rainbow stew.

I have a 21’ older Prowler travel trailer, a 2002 Silverado dually, tools and enough stockpiled freez dried foods to last me a year, and I am about to be seasonally laid off from my current job in Wasilla, Alask.

Return to work date is usually not until April, I can live in a trailer during an Alaskan winter, did it for a couple of years. Being a maintenance supervisor with welding skills may give me an edge but I will be 56 in a couple of weeks, I have made plans to head down to Australia this spring, but I think I may not get an American passport out because of back child support monies I owe, they have bluntly said they can obstruct me getting a passport.

But not if I work in Canada and I get Canadian citizen ship and a Canadian passport, this is very good news to hear.

Canada has jobs, but hey... we have welfare, obamaphones and a communist black man in the White House.

Eat your heart out, Canada.

Great that some people can find work but I would never live somewhere like Canada where the citizens don’t have the freedoms we do. Obama wants to turn America into Canada which I don’t want - why move to a communist country?

I’d work at McDonald’s before I’d accept a job with socialist universal healthcare paid for by the taxpayers.

If 0bama keeps up his war on the energy industry, oil and gas companies may move their headquarters to Canada.
