All talk, no action

Well, it looks like all those lefties saying they would move to Canada when Bush won have had second thoughts.

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.

What's the problem, lefties? Free health care's not good enough for you? Gay marriage isn't good enough for you? Abstention from Iraq isn't good enough for you? Legalized marijuana isn't good enough for you? What more can Canada possibly do for you? What can we in the US do to help you decide? Go on, get out of here!
