Damn, Liberals didn't move to Canada after all!

Bush-hating Liberal weenies who threw a hissy-fit after the 2004 Presidential election and vowed to move to Canada in protest apparently were not serious about their intentions. Despite the Canadian immigration website being slammed with visits from U.S. surfers, the "move to Canada" movement never really took off.

Data from the main Canadian processing center in Buffalo, NY shows that in the six months up to the U.S. election there were 16,266 applications from people seeking to live in Canada, a figure that fell to 14,666 for the half year after the vote.

Crud, and I was all excited about the idea back in February. Too bad. They wouldn't have been missed.

From Betsy Newmark: "They're all like a French movie -- all talk and no action."
