ABC News:

O, Canada! More Americans Heading NorthThe Number of Americans Moving to Canada in 2006 Hit a 30-Year High

Wow. From later in the article…

In 2006, 10,942 Americans went to Canada, compared with 9,262 in 2005 and 5,828 in 2000, according to a survey by the Association for Canadian Studies.

Big bad America. Just how many Canadians are coming South, however?

Of course, those numbers are still outweighed by the number of Canadians going the other way. Yet, that imbalance is shrinking. Last year, 23,913 Canadians moved to the United States, a significant decrease from 29,930 in 2005.

America has a population of roughly 300 million people, Canada has 33 million. We’re 10 times bigger, which means that the numbers won’t be equal until America exports roughly 100,000 citizens. Or, another way to look at is that Canada is losing the equivalent of 300,000 Americans a year.

ABC should be asking what’s wrong with Canada, not the other way around.
