Canada has three advantages we don't have:

1. A long, porous border with a third world country.
2. They actually WILL extract and use their natural resources.
3. We provide for them something along the lines of $60 BILLION a year in military aid, since they have no real standing military and count on us to provide for their safety.

Excellent points, there are some aspects of Canada we can emulate but NOT their immigration policy as the article indicates. And certainly not their insane tax system. 13% national sales tax and marginal tax rate of 49% above $110,000 / yr. Bad as it is our tax system is still far better.

I think you mean: "No long, porous border with a third-world country."
