I find it ironic that some Americans wants to live in Canada.
As a life Long hockey fan, one who has visited every part of Canada I can't begin to count how many Canadians I've been lucky enough to meet. Canada is a wonderful country but I'm routinely surprised to find many often saying they would like to live in the States. Some have moved here including an indivdual who has become a close friend who is from the Ottawa area. There is one common situation I've noticed. The Americans who want out seem to have such a negative perspective on life regardless of what subject we're talking about. On the flip side, the Canadians who want to come here all have such a positive perspective about life in general. My friend and I talked about this and he said in jest that maybe we should have an exchange program and that at least it would make it easier to get here for many Canadians. That sounds great but I don't think it would be very fair for Canada. I guess the " grass is greener" effect depends on your perspective.
