It looks like the angry left is guilty of what some people call doing a Baldwin. That is, they aren't leaving like they promised.
Canadians can put away those extra welcome mats -- it seems Americans unhappy about the result of last November's presidential election have decided to stay at home after all.Of course James Taranto says it's the cold weather:
In the days after President Bush won a second term, the number of U.S. citizens visiting Canada's main immigration Web site shot up sixfold, prompting speculation that unhappy Democrats would flock north.But official statistics show the number of Americans actually applying to live permanently in Canada fell in the six months after the election.
The winter temperatures? How about the summer temps? According to the Globe and Mail, the expected high today in Toronto is a bone-chilling 28 degrees. This almost sounds appealing when you're in sweltering New York City (current temperature: 97), but then if we wanted subfreezing temperatures in the middle of August, we'd move to the Southern Hemisphere.Of course, it turns out it isn't really that cold in Toronto. Weather.com gives today's high as 82, not 28. The trick is that Canada is on the metric system, in which temperatures are read backwards. What a clever way those Canucks have found of keeping undesirable immigrants out.

Even the most idiotic, half-witted, numb-nuts, ignorant dim-wit that America's left can produce, still knows, somewhere deep inside, that America is the best damn country on the face of the Earth. They may never admit it, but they know it's true.
Liberals will make excuses like how it'd be too expensive to move, or they don't speak French, or how their family is here or some such nonsense. But the truth is, even surrounded by a nation full of their own ilk, they would be less free. Because there is still one or two brain cells in their burnt out hippie brains that realizes that it is we who are right and it is because of our numbers and resolve that this country remains strong and allows them to remain free to live out their naive little fantasies.
Canada sucks and the left KNOWS IT.
With apologies to our little brother to the North, we�re sorry that you will forever live in our shadow.
