I’m aboot fed up with this, eh…

I imagine a lot of you out there have heard people use the rhetorical device of showing your displeasure with this administration by contemplating the possibility of moving out of the country if Dubya were to win. In my opinion, such chatter has only increased since Black Tuesday… and apparently I am not the only one to notice. I have even met some folks who are dead serious; one of my colleagues who previously lived in Denmark is rushing to finish up grad school so she can move her family there.

Henceforth, I thought I would provide a few links to folks out there who may be inclined to explore joining our northern neighbors in their moose-infested existence (Northern neighbors = Canada for those of you who are products of the public school system)

As a career student, my lack of a work history absolutely screwed me, so I didn’t pass. If you were like me, do not despair! You have other options for gaining admittance into the land of maple syrup and piss-poor musical "artists"

The obvious downside is having to hook-up with a canuck... have you seen what their hockey cheerleaders look like?!?


Of course, the best solution is for Canada to take capitalist-style advantage of our longing for a better life in the form of TV ratings like we are doing to our southern neighbors and others

Piss poor musical acts? Gimme the crap, Herm. Barenaked Ladies, Sarah Mclachlan, Tragically Hip... there are a ton of great musical acts. And beyond that, hello, Pam Anderson, Mike Myers, Captain Kirk, and even the robotic arm that's attached to the US Space Shuttle!

OH!CANADA!

Heidi:

BNL is the exception, not the rule. Sarah Mclachan? You are talking to someone with a penis here, my friend...

Mike Myers squeezes in as well, but he's not a musician (and Shatner singing is really scary).
