content: I'm not sure what you mean. I'm aware that there are many Canadians that emigrate to the US. But it's rarely for political reasons. Mostly Retires looking for more hospitable weather, or work related.    They don't say Vancouver is expensive? Because it is. Very.    Or they don't say we don't want the weak ones? They are immigrants themselves, it would be a bit awkward for them to express an opinion like that in their position. They are also not 'typical' Canadians if they emigrated to the US. To clarify a bit, we don't have a problem with all Americans who immigrate here. But many of us do not want the ones who would come for cowardly reasons. It is a popular opinion.
