As a 'Mericuhn expat who gets the willies whenever I'm required to return to the USA because of some business issue that can not be handled via PDF files and my accountant, HAVE I MENTIONED HOW MUCH I LOVE CANADA LATELY? I do. Truly, I do. Not only have I memorized Fakin' Eh, I speak French better than I do Spanish and can imitate an almost perfect Quebecois accent.

Yeah, I know. If I love Canada so much why don't I move there? I'm thinking about it. Just Air Canada's direct non-stop flights from Toronto to Buenos Aires, Argentina, and Barçelona, Spain are about enough to make me change teams. It wouldn't take much to dissolve my Nevada LLC and reform it in Kelowna BC, thus providing six new full-time jobs for Canadian citizens. I've already lined up the husband of an old colleague who is a provincial judge to push through the paper work. I think I'm just biding my time until I see the results after the USA election in November.

My only criticisms of Canada these days (I know, high taxes, but what do you expect?) are: 1) Why can't Stephen Harper buy a suit that fits? and 2) Why hasn't he and his coalition been voted out of office by now?

NOTE TO MODERATORS: There is no smiley emoticon waving a red maple leaf. What gives?
