I love it when they start talking about moving to Canada.

How did this become the default fall back plan? "You try to ensure equality for groups I don't like and I'm gonna move to a different country that also disagrees with me on this point." It's like they heard Alec Baldwin say he was going to leave for Canada over Iraq or whatever it was and that became a blanket threat for the dissatisfied. "You want to create a market based solution for healthcare? Well I'm just gonna pack my bags and move to a country with a robust socialized system that I also disagree with. You're gonna miss me when I leave and start testing just how polite those Canadians are with my politics that are considered reactionary in any other Western nation."
