@Oldhat, it's a pretty common joke in America that if you hate something the government/public/whatever has done, you move to Canada. Maybe rooted in the draft dodgers in Vietnam?
We have the same thing up here. Whenever the conservatives get more power we threaten to move to America, forgetting that our version of conservative is actually moderate to the US.
@steve It stems from my chronic inability to pronounce things correctly. In my mind your last name is "TOE sea." which is close to my midwestern american slur "GO sea" pronunciation of "Goatse." My English relatives and ancestors, no doubt, spin in their graves.
@Dork that link is hilarious and horrifying in the extreme.
p.s. Is it too soon to start a US Election Thread. ?
