Canadia

I think I'm tired of trying to change things here. I could move just a few hours away and not have to think about it.

I wonder how long and difficult it would be to emigrate to Canada.

Canada wants people with advanced degrees. You're in. Don't think I haven't considered this.

I can take technical questions :) Having worked for Customs, I have a fair amount of experience with Immigration law in Canada.

I don't disagree that Canada would be awesome.

But, but...we need you here.

And I can't help but think, while slow, things are changing. Not fast enough sure, but they are.

We are choosing amongst a black man and a woman for President.

I guess I'm an optimist. If all the progressives bailed for Canada in the sixties/seventies, the Civil Rights and Women's Movements would never have happened.

Of course, I don't have a spouse and/or a baby, so I have much less to lose by staying than you.

Seriously. I'm too damn young to feel this old and jaded about this joint.

Actually I have another LJ friend who went to Canada for college and stayed. She has to jump through all kinds of hoops every year to renew her work permit. I think she has recently started the process of trying to get approved to become a citizen. If you are serious I can refer you to her LJ.

Maybe you were joking, but I have a friend who's been trying to emigrate from the US to Canada for 18 months.

A friend of mine did this, after the 2004 elections and all the state marriage initiatives. He moved from DC to Montreal. He'd worked on Capitol Hill for many years, hoped one day to be an openly gay member of Congress from Texas, where he's from. Instead, he decided to move to a country where he'd have full and equal rights. Last I heard, he was loving Montreal and hasn't looked back.

What?! You don't enjoy a Corporate Plutocracy? Okay, I admit I didn't know what a Plutocracy was until yesterday. I thought it had something to do with space aliens, but that's SCIENTOLOGY. ;) And I know you are still pissed at me for "Throwing" my vote away in '00. I just wish I could be able to vote for who I want. That's how goverment is SUPPOSED to work, not this idea of voting for the lesser of two evils the way it works now. I HATED Kerry in '04. I thought he was a shriveled windbag (Sorry Democratic party) but I voted for him because you kept coming to me in a dream threating me not to vote independent. (Sorry, Nader)
