That's because Canada still has a middle class. The people in America are awesome (for the most part), the scenery is beautiful, and the similar culture makes it an easy place to visit and enjoy. But the poisonous politics and unregulated capitalism at any cost mentality scare me away from ever contemplating moving to the US, and that's why you see such a passionate response from Canadians in a thread like this. Your economy is unpredictable (based on a crash-recovery cycle for over a century), your healthcare system is a complete mess, and your government favors funding a massively bloated military machine over things like education and social welfare. Why in the world would we want to get involved in that?
