      Unhappy Democrats Must Wait to Get Into Canada



      By David Ljunggren

      OTTAWA (Reuters) - Disgruntled Democrats seeking a safe Canadian haven after President Bush (news - web sites) won Tuesday's election should not pack their bags just yet.

      Canadian officials made clear on Wednesday that any U.S. citizens so fed up with Bush that they want to make a fresh start up north would have to stand in line like any other would-be immigrants -- a wait that can take up to a year.

      "Let me tell you -- if they're hard-working honest people, there's a process, and let them apply," Immigration Minister Judy Sgro told Reuters.

      Asked whether American applicants would get special treatment, she replied: "No, they'll join the crowd like all the other people who want to come to Canada."

      There are anywhere from 600,000 to a million Americans living in Canada, which leans more to the left than the United States and has traditionally favored the Democrats over the Republicans.

      But statistics show a gradual decline in U.S. citizens coming to work and live in Canada, which has an ailing health care system and relatively high levels of personal taxation.

      Government officials, real estate brokers and Democrat activists said that while some Americans might talk about moving to Canada rather than living with a new Bush administration, they did not expect a mass influx.

      "It's one thing to say 'I'm leaving for Canada' and quite another to actually find a job here and wonder about where you're going to live and where the children are going to go to school," said one official.

      Roger King of the Toronto-based Democrats Abroad group said he had heard nothing about a possible exodus of party members.

      "I imagine most committed Democrats will want to stay in the United States and continue being politically active there," he said.

      Americans seeking to immigrate can apply to become permanent citizens of Canada, a process that often takes a year. Becoming a full citizen takes a further three years.

      The other main way to move north on a long-term basis is to find a job, which in all cases requires a work permit. This takes from four to six months to come through.

      Statistics show the number of U.S. workers entering Canada dropped to 15,789 in 2002 from 21,627 in 2000. In 1981 some 10,030 Americans gained permanent residency, compared to 5,541 in 2003.

      Asked if there had been signs of increased U.S. interest, Sgro said: "Not yet, but we'll see tomorrow."

      The Canadian foreign ministry said there had been no increase in hits on the Washington embassy's immigration Web site, while housing brokers doubted they would see a surge in U.S. business.

      "Canada's always open and welcoming to Americans who want to relocate here, but we don't think it would be a trend or movement," said Gino Romanese of Royal Lepage Residential Real Estate Services.

      Those wishing to move to Canada could always take a risk and claim refugee status -- the path chosen earlier this year by two U.S. deserters who opposed the Iraq (news - web sites) war.

      "Anybody who enters Canada who claims refugee status will be provided with a work permit...it doesn't matter what country they're from," said an immigration ministry spokeswoman.

      Refugee cases are handled by special boards, which can take months to decide whether to admit applicants. The rulings can be appealed and opposition politicians complain some people ordered deported have been in Canada for 10 years or more.

            George W. Bush will be our President for the next thousand soldiers whom die in a losing war.

            George W. Bush will be our President for the next trillion dollars he loses in our economy.

            George W. Bush will be our President for the 1.2 million jobs he loses.

            George W. Bush will be our President during the duration of the Spammy Hagar led Van Halen tour!!

                          Flying the coop
                          by Judi McLeod

                          November 4, 2004

                          Hollywood celebrities who threatened to flee the country if George W. Bush was re-elected should do the noble thing and follow through on their threats.

                          Robert Redford can pout just as prettily in Ireland as he can in Hollywood. The aging heartthrob will find himself right at home in the poetic land that St. Patrick rid of snakes. Besides, Senator John Kerry had loads of supporters there, some of whom weighed in on the eve of election to state why they believed that Bush would likely be re-elected.

                          It’s because Americans are stupid, said the blarney-stone kissers.

                          At last count, Kim Basinger was threatening to pull up stakes to pitch her tent on Canadian soil. No one should hold their breath waiting. In 2000, ex-hubby Alec Baldwin insisted his country wasn’t big enough for both himself and Bush. But Baldwin’s passion for departure soon evaporated, and not even war veterans who showed up at speaking engagements offering one-way tickets to other countries could coax Baldwin to live up to going abroad promises.

                          In “give-me-back-my-marbles”, “I’m-outta-here” style, motormouth Michael Moore pulled his cameras out of Election night Florida.

                          Then came diamond-on-his-pinkie, American porn mogul Larry Flynt, who said in an 11th-hour election threat that he may decide to go into exile if Bush was re-elected.

                          “If Bush is re-elected—but I don’t want to even consider the thought for one second—I really have to think about living somewhere else,” Flynt said early Monday from a strip club on the Champs Elysees in Paris, where he happened to be celebrating his 62nd birthday.

                          Flynt, who made his fortune through a porn magazine found under teenagers’ beds, had flown the coop to Paris to “escape the nauseating atmosphere of the electoral campaign.”

                          Forty strippers. who accompanied him to gay Paree, did not go to escape Bush country, they just needed the work.

                          No one can really say where diva Barbra Streisand stands on decamping, but the day after election high notes heard coming from her mansion had nothing to do with scale practice.

                          The flying the coop celebrity gang can afford to live wherever they want. No one is forcing them to stay in the God-awful country that keeps them in champers and caviar. Moving households and re-locating to new countries is second only to death on the psychiatric stress list. But not if your butlers and maids have to do the packing and unpacking.

                          Yeah, the Redfords and Flynts are so hard done by in America.

                          They’re going to need help just pulling through the depression of the election aftermath.

                          Canada Free Press has a nifty suggestion to help the flying the coop set heal their emotional wounds. They could always use the time to brush up on their acting skills.

                          There’s no better way to do that than watching the post-election antics of the talking heads on television.

                          As noted by the rubes at RatherBiased.com, “NBC, MSNBC and FNC have called Ohio for Bush. But they refuse to call any of the other states for Bush, even Nevada, which has had 100 percent of its votes come in. CBS, ABC, and CNN refuse to project Ohio. But they have projected Nevada.

                          “As it stands, all six of the television networks are deliberately keeping the election in limbo.

                          “The actual count is over in Nevada.

                          “Mathematically, Kerry cannot win in Ohio. He trails Bush by 145,000 votes. The Secretary State of Ohio estimates that there will be 175,000 provisional ballots. Many of them are invalid. Even if Kerry received all of the votes on the valid ballots, he could not win.”

                          Perhaps the stampede of celebrities running off to other countries could extend living abroad as a sympathy gesture to the actors of CBS, ABC, CNN, etc.

                          Iraq would be the best place to start.

The left threw EVERYTHING at Bush for two years in an unprecedented assault so I guess now they can't get over the fact that he won.

                                Disillusioned Americans eye New Zealand's alternative bush

                                Fri Nov 5,10:44 PM ET

                                WELLINGTON (AFP) - Enquiries from Americans wanting to move to New Zealand have skyrocketed since George W. Bush was reelected president of the United States.

                                The Immigration Service website had 10,300 hits from the United States the day after the election, compared to the daily norm of 2,500.

                                Thousands of North Americans have migrated to New Zealand in recent years -- attracted by the country's small population, clean, green image of bush-clad mountains, and isolation from world trouble spots -- but the number now looks set to soar.

                                Phones at the Immigration Service offices in Los Angeles, San Francisco and Portland have been ringing constantly since the vote outcome, Marketing Manager Don Badman told the Dominion Post newspaper on Saturday.

                                There have been up to 300 telephone calls and emails a day compared to six-to-eight calls a day before the election.

                                "It's exploded. It really started picking up from 11:00pm the night of the election," he said.

                                The San Francisco Chronicle reported that Americans were also looking to Australia and Canada as well as New Zealand following the election.

                                Vandals Hit GOP Headquarters in N.Carolina

                                Sat Nov 6, 5:11 AM ET

                                By MICHAEL FELBERBAUM, Associated Press Writer

                                RALEIGH, N.C. - Vandals spray painted vulgar messages on the walls of the North Carolina Republican Party headquarters and left a burned effigy depicting President Bush and Sen. John Kerry, police said.

                                Authorities detained several suspects early Saturday, hours after the attacks took place Friday night, but had not filed any charges, police spokesman Jim Sughrue said.

                                A police officer reported Friday that about 100 people wearing masks and gloves were walking down a street near the headquarters, authorities said.

                                The Republican president won re-election Tuesday after a challenge by Kerry, a Democrat. John Edwards (news - web sites), who was Kerry's running mate, is a senator from North Carolina.

                                "This is not a political statement," Sughrue said. "A political statement is what we made Tuesday. This is a crime."

                                Police said at least two windows were broken and it appeared that the vandals tried to put incendiary devices inside of the building.

                                Investigators also found a partially burned, two-headed effigy in military fatigues. One head had the face of Bush and the other the face of Kerry.

                                "The people who did this are sick," said Kevin Howell, communications director for the state Republican Party. "People don't understand that debate and elections are part of the process. This isn't how you act."

                                Americans Flock to Canada's Immigration Web Site

                                Fri Nov 5, 2:22 PM ET

                                By David Ljunggren

                                OTTAWA (Reuters) - The number of U.S. citizens visiting Canada's main immigration Web site has shot up six-fold as Americans flirt with the idea of abandoning their homeland after President Bush's election win this week.

                                "When we looked at the first day after the election, Nov. 3, our Web site hit a new high, almost double the previous record high," immigration ministry spokeswoman Maria Iadinardi said on Friday.

                                On an average day some 20,000 people in the United States log onto the Web site, www.cic.gc.ca -- a figure which rocketed to 115,016 on Wednesday. The number of U.S. visits settled down to 65,803 on Thursday, still well above the norm.

                                Bush's victory sparked speculation that disconsolate Democrats and others might decide to start a new life in Canada, a land that tilts more to the left than the United States.

                                Would-be immigrants to Canada can apply to become permanent resident, a process that often takes a year. The other main way to move north on a long-term basis is to find a job, which requires a work permit.

                                But please spare the sob stories.

                                Asked whether an applicant would be looked upon more sympathetically if they claimed to be a sad Democrat seeking to escape four more years of Bush, Iadinardi replied: "There would be no weight given to statements of feelings."

                                Canada is one of the few major nations with an large-scale immigration policy. Ottawa is seeking to attract between 220,000 and 240,000 newcomers next year.

                                "Let's face it, we have a population of a little over 32 million and we definitely need permanent residents to come to Canada," said Iadinardi. "If we could meet (the 2005) target and go above it, the more the merrier."

                                But right now it is too early to say whether the increased interest will result in more applications.

                                "There is no unusual activity occurring at our visa missions (in the United States). Having someone who intends to come to Canada is not the same as someone actually putting in an application," said Iadinardi.

                                "We'll only find out whether there has been an increase in applications in six months."

                                The waiting time to become a citizen is shorter for people married to Canadians, which prompted the birth of a satirical Web site called www.marryanamerican.ca.

                                The idea of increased immigration by unhappy Americans is triggering some amusement in Canada. Commentator Thane Burnett of the Ottawa Sun newspaper wrote a tongue-in-cheek guide to would-be new citizens on Friday.

                                "As Canadians, you'll have to learn to embrace and use all the products and culture of Americans, while bad-mouthing their way of life," he said.
