Re: Obamanation here today
Is that Crosby playing for chicago? Is there any canadian that actually is happy staying in canada besides DS?
No Crosby does not play for Chicago. But, I'll give you a hint, he does play for a US team, the team that won the Stanely Cup last year !
People go where the money is. Don't you know that money talks, yet ? You got Beckham, too. Even had and got Wayne Gretzky. Got many of our doctors and nurses, too. Hollywood Stars, Engineers, even TD Bank locations, (which is short for Toronto Dominion Bank,- Canadian owned).
Tie, if you would have watched just some of the Vancouver Olympics, or heard from a few US Team members, they were all astound of the level of Canadian Pride. They never seen anything like that before in thier own home country USA.
Yes, when large amounts of money is offered, ofcourse Canucks will move south. Esspecially, now our retirees... for us, it's like you going to Mexico. It's dirt cheap in the US now, with the currency exchange.
However, for those Canadians working there, they may have second thoughts now, and may return in the future, since thier income, paid in US dollars, is losing value with every paycheck they receive.
And to recruit new ones to head south, is getting harder by the day, too.
DS lives near the border, less then an hr away, I assume. He chooses not to visit the US for his own personal reasons. The US is not for everyone. I heard that lots here, (and prior in Germany), myself.
Each to thier own. But, the news media, with all those US crimes,guns, murders, bombings, etc, most likely plays a big role.
