Who wants to move to Nunavut with me if we lose in November?

That's it - I'm really thinking about it. Getting Canadian sponsorship is hard to do, unless you agree to live somewhere like Yukon Territory or Nunavut. Either one is fine with me - I could live there for 5 years until I get status and then move to Vancouver.

I'm bloody sick of it - and I'd love it if the US had a mass exodus of all it's inteligentia like Germany had when the Nazi's took power. Basically, all of the intelligent Germans left for the US or the UK, being the thugs who took over had no use for smarts. It was a big factor in Nazi Germany's downfall too - they lost the race for "the bomb." Whereas we had all the kickass German-Jewish scientists working on it.

So who's with me?

Plus you'll either have an NDP or Liberal MP.

I can knit sweaters if I get cold. I'm getting sick of it here!

Make it easier and marry a canuck. That's what my wife did.

None of this will really matter when Bush loses in November.

That's an Oregonian for those unfamiliar with Northwesternese...

It's just in the coastal zone, so not much colder that the BC interior.

The thought is depressing but hey I don't blame you , even I have an escape plan if Dubya steals the election again . But I think there is no other that will be safer in the world than the USA if Smirk is re-selected . Although I do have my bunker half way built ...

Already plan to be in Australia when the Dicktatorship renews itself in Nov.

It would be a pleasure to have you set up shop next to the moof hut there though.

How did you decide on your location ?
So far all that we know is that Sydney is too expensive.

The other obvious alternative is Melbourne.

an obvious choice ?

Any info is welcome.

Being a Skier and all. I love Canada, Canadians and consider Vancouver the greatest city on earth. So in 2000, when Democracy died here, I checked into what it would take to get permanent resident status.

It's tough, but if you have a Masters (as I do) and work in tech (as I do) it can be done if you choose to live in a more remote location for a while. Yukon Territory would be OK, but Nunavut sounds interesting as well - mainly becuase there's no shortage of jobs up there.

Live there for 5 years, join the Liberal party, then move to Vancouver.

Besides, baby Nate would grow up speaking French and English - what's not to like about that?

Whistler/Blackcomb are the greatest. Almost moved to Squamish (about halfway between Vancouver & Whistler) back when the head spook bush won 88. The climate of Vancouver was a big draw and the ability to sail , scuba , and ski all in such a small radius was fantastic.

Right now, my Bush re-election escape plan involves getting Minister credentials. I'd REALLY like to avoid that if I can.

I've been thinking about doing this since last summer, actually.

No way I'm staying here if he 'wins' again. No freakin way.

The American Public still loves him. Freakin UN beleiveable!

It's hard for me to be part of a population where half is so incredibly stupid that they buy the stupidest president ever's BS time and time again.

Check out of Rome, I'm moving to Gallia baby!

to just give up. He says the bushites won't EVER turn on their glorious leader and that if all else fails they'll just cheat again. :(

If I can't get into Canada, then I'm returning to the land of my grandfather - viva Mexico!

:D

But, it's spring here in NoDak, and it's still getting awfully cold up in Yellowknife.

than having to live in Nunavut or the other frozen territories.:)

I can't believe it's that hard to Americans to get landed immigrant status in Canada. Maybe Canadians can start a petition on behalf of all liberal-minded American that would like to join us?

We'll call it the American liberal exodus.

saying they promise not to harbor any draft dodgers this time.

This was done during the run up to Iraq, IIRC.

I would love that, or if NZ took in political refugees...

I can barely tolerate the winters here.

I'm still young and I'm going to be an RN in a couple years (potential draft risks if you believe some of the rumors). Not to mention I have sons. With the state of things as the are and the potential of worse if * gets another term, it's not inconceivable to me to want to get out. My husband says "stay and fight". In principle, that's nice and he's too old to worry about it for himself, but I'm not ready to die for the cause of nationalism. For the people I love, yes, not for nationalism or Haliburton's profit margin.

You and my wifey could be Hockey Moms!

the newest Canadian province? I think they become one within the last 5-10 years....

I've lived in MI all my life, so I'm used to cold weather, though I'm sure the weather up there is a million times worse than anything we've got down here.

Yukon sounds pretty cool too...

to the aboriginals in 1998-99. It's sort of a semi-autonomous province. I'm sure our Canadian DUers will correct me on this.

It's not exactly a province; it's a self-governing territory created as sort of an Inuit homeland. It's quite huge, and mostly empty... well, so's most of Canada, come to that.

:hi:

I was told that they also get money from Ottawa and have seats in Parliament.

Correct on both counts... um, I think.

:silly:

and I told her about your thread last night. She told me I don't want to go to Nunavut. I want to go to Victoria. Which I do to be with her.
:loveya:

How you doing today?;-)

Bubbles

Tampa and Philly are tied at 1. Andreychuk scored for Tampa and Handuz scored just now for Philly.

How is your day going? :)

Then again, unless she is a Deaf, wheelchair-using, First Nations university professor, she is not the same one...

:bounce:

I don't think we're talking about the same one.

There's a diamond mine there. Imagine the possibilities.
