VANCOUVER, British Columbia Christopher Key knows exactly what he would be giving up if he left Bellingham, Washington. .

But leave it he intends to do, and as soon as he can. His house is on the market, and he is busily seeking work across the border in Canada. For him, the re-election of George W. Bush was the last straw.

Good bye, good luck, and take a few of your liberal friends with you while you are at it. Take the lot with you.
I don't even think this should be a barf alert ;-)

"....Redman, 30, assistant director of the Epilepsy Foundation in Seattle, said she had put her Volvo up for sale and hopes to be living in Toronto by the summer. She and her Canadian boyfriend..."Is it such a bad thing to be losing these types?
for every whiner that leaves, there will be a 10 100 1,000 mexicans to replace him.

My sentiments exactly! I think that anyone who does this should have to give up U.S. citizenship. Then, if and when they want to come back, they should have to go through the immigration process just like anyone else from a foreign country who wants to come to America. No advantages should be given to them over anyone else. Let those who appreciate the United States come here.
