Forcible removal? Sounds very unfair to me. I have a friend that is an American, who was forced to uproot his family from their life here in Canada because of the issues of taxation between the states and Canada - he was forced into exile in Alaska because of this. It wasn't fair to his family, to his company, to his children, nor to his friends. No one wanted them to leave. Was that because of people like you? Thanks for nothing. (Buy the way, no one could tell he was an American. Real different.) If say, you moved to Texas, would you like to be told by someone to move away, just cause you weren't born there? Even though someone from New York, well, he wasn't born there either, but he can stay, there's nothing we can do about that. Real fair. How about someone here from Newfoundland? Notice that they have also flooded the job market? How many people from Calgary are from elsewhere? My life is so horribly ruined by all those carpetbaggers. So nasty.

If there were 300 million people moving here from the states, there would be no one left in the states. If they don't want it, can I buy California? I heard it's nice there.

As for my way of life, From what I've seen, it would only go up if they moved here. Not only would I be able to build them all houses that they would buy, the price of things would go down, giving me both more buying power AND more money. Win-win. Really.
