There's a trending Twitter topic "moving to Canada" right now

People upset with the SCOTUS ACA decision saying that because of this America is doomed so they are "moving to Canada".
Yup, Canada, where they have a totally socialized healthcare system.
Don't tell them before they go.
Let it be a surprise.

Well, they have no guns, but plenty of souvenir maple syrup bottles to throw at the invaders. And, if necessary, giant vats of boiling poutine.

We will defend our borders from the invasion of these "wet tea backs".

a qualified skill they need OR a guaranteed job.

They prevent people from moving there to use their social services, understandably. Or sick people from all over the world would flood their country, using their resources, and place a huge burden on their country, just to get health care. So they prevent that, even if they are American. Maybe ESPECIALLY because they're American?
