If they don’t want to see their fellow citizens escaping, they aren’t far from preventing it one way or another.

Norway, Sweden, the Netherlands - all bastions of liberalism. One liberal I debated praised these countries for their liberalism and raved about how happy the people there are. The model in these countries is the lib goal for the U.S. No thanks.

Umm, I think there are lineups for visas at every US embassy and consulate in the world.

In truth, there are lineups in Canada also. You might live in a border community, like I do, and work in the US. You need to renew your work visa occasionally. Also foreign nationals in Canada trying to get visas to visit the US.
But you are right, Canadians don't need visas to visit the US and I think immigration to the US is down.

Supposedly, Norwegians are some of the happiest people on earth.I've read in more than one place that Norwegians have the highest per capita suicide rate in the world. The lack of sun during the long and brutal winters may play a part in that, but if they're "happy" they have an unusual way of showing it.

Norway can't be all bad. They make Jarlsberg cheese.

And here I thought Norway was awash in North Sea oil revenue.... It is.
Export revenues from oil and gas have risen to 45% of total exports and constitute more than 20% of the GDP. Norway is the fifth largest oil exporter and third largest gas exporter in the world, but it is not a member of OPEC.

One of my neighbors is a Canadian immigrant.
He tried living in Windsor and working west of Ann Arbor but it was more than an hour drive + crossing the border. Eventually he just moved here and got his citizenship.
