Travel advice for Democrats

US News Article | Reuters.com:
"Canadian officials made clear on Wednesday that any U.S. citizens so fed up with Bush that they want to make a fresh start up north would have to stand in line like any other would-be immigrants -- a wait that can take up to a year.
"'You just can't come into Canada and say 'I'm going to stay here'. In other words, there has to be an application. There has to be a reason why the person is coming to Canada,' said immigration ministry spokeswoman Maria Iadinardi."

For fed up Democrats who don't want to follow Larry Flynt into French exile, there seems to be interest in heading for the Frozen North, aka Oh, Canada, Eh? The first wave northward were Tories who were upset that we won the Revolutionary War and went to Canada so they could continue to be loyal subjects of the English Crown instead of free men. The advantage of Canada over moving to the continent is you don't have to learn a foreign language. You could go to the British Isles, but you'd have to learn to drive on the wrong side of the road. But the Canadians have such a good thing going they claim it's hard to get in.

For those who can't wait to start living in Canada, just do what the Asians do. Get on a plane coming from India, toss your passport and claim you are a Muslim who faces persecution if returned to India. Bingo, your an asylum seeker. You can stay for years while your case creeps through a bureaucracy even slower than ours. If they object that you don't look Indian, just accuse them of racism. Accusing a tolerant Canadian of racism works even better than garlic on vampires. Just remember, when you are trying to convince the Canadian immigration officers that you really are an Indian, don't start talking about Pocahontas and Sacagewea, and Geronimo and Tecumseh.
