Look at our neighbours to the south, buffalo, cleveland, detroit. Ya a lot of people want to live there!! Lol.

It's popular by default, where else do Canadians have to go after high school/university if they want to live and pursue jobs/career in a big urban center? The separatists ruined Montreal as an option for most. Winnipeg? Edmonton? Calgary? Halifax? There's Vancouver, even more expensive than Toronto. Two desirable big cities in the entire country. An American has 20 cities to pick from - New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Washington/Baltimore, Charlotte, Miami, Tampa, Dallas, Houston, Austin, Phoenix, St. Louis, Chicago, Minneapolis, Denver, Portland, Seattle, San Francisco, San Jose, Los Angeles, San Diego, Las Vegas
IF Canada and the US had a reciprocal open door immigration policy where people could come and go to live and work in either country within 10 years I'd say 10 million Canadians if not more would move south. Why you'll never see that kind of agreement.
Anyway, the thread was made because Socks misrepresented the wealth and standard of living of the average Canadian compared to the average American. A $100,000 income goes considerably farther in the US than Canada.
