Canadians urge disaffected left to elect a move north

Well, this is an alternative to Coastopia.... I think some people are taking the "love or leave it" phrase seriously! Here's an article from the Boston Globe (actually I think it is an AP story).

This isn't actually that surprising to me.... I have dreamed about this possibility.

Canadians urge disaffected left to elect a move north:

"'We started last year getting a lot of calls from Americans dissatisfied with the way the country is going,' Kischer [an imigration lawyer in Vancouver] said. 'Then after the election, it's been crazy up here. The Canadian immigration website had 115,000 hits the day after the election, from the US alone. We usually only get 20,000 hits.'

There was so much interest that a Vancouver-based Internet company, Communicopia, set up a new website this month -- www.canadianalternative.com-- to suggest Canada as a viable option for its American clients, including anyone concerned about constitutional bans on gay marriage passed in 11 states this month."

I just checked out the Canadian Alternative site. Definitely worth a look!
