Oui, and considering this guy is comming from England it is most likely in British Pounds so it's going to be closer to 5 million. Under those circumstances I would make the move too. And considering to there is no immigration rules or regulations for the wealthy in this world.. why not?

Pretty interesting.

1. To be Canadian/Canadien/Canadienne is to be political. Having lived in the United States, England, France and Spain I have found that as a nation we must love to discuss politics.
2. The Canadian people are sarcastic, have a scathying and often warped sense of humour and we tend to really get off on a good verbal fight. (I don't know many of us that didn't play the insult game with our friends growing up)
3. We are most likely the ONLY nation in the world that can and have the right to say shit about the Americans and they will listen. I don't know how we did it but like England we earned the barbarian's respect but unlike England we have a clue what we are talking about when it concerns the good old USA. (Sorry England.. no insult ment, it's just a distance thing)

You must be smoking crack if you think canadians werent "fond" of americans.
Thousands of americans were put up in canada , given blankets etc out of the pockets of regular canadians. not from some government grant.
All this and bush didnt even thank us, thanked everyone but us. You wonder why canadians have a grudge its because of thoughtless people like you.  |
I lived in the United states for 5 years and saw more of that country then I did of Canada. While I will admit that there are some wonderful and thoughtful Americans, for the most part they are far more Neo-conservative-stupid-ignorant-rednecks. Collectively as a nation they have replaced religion with partriotism and regardless of how correct or logical of a point is made.... Americans prefer to decide the winner of most debates or arguments by bashing in each other's skulls. But as far as 9/11 is concern and the aid we gave americans.... Another thing my travels has taught me is that as a nation Canadians honestly do try to live by the golden rule. "Treat others the way you want to be treated!"

Very true... When Georgie boy was re-elected and it wasn't by a narrow margin. As far as I was concern, it spoke volumes about what the american people truely want their society to be. AND how they view the way their country should behave in the world schema.
As for Canadian goverment... Well, Paul Martin, Stephen Harper, etc. I think the minority goverment we have speak volumes of our society. Not alot to choose from and we didn't give anyone in power alot.
