VIDEO: Welcome to Canada, Yanks, But Don't Hurry

You know you're in trouble when satire bothers people because they don't get it. Last summer, The New Yorker caused an uproar with a cover that portrayed right-wing myths about Barack Obama.

By the same token, "C'Mon, Move to Canada!" isn't poking fun at the US liberal elite -- it's poking fun at the Joe Sixpacks and Palinists who think such an elite exists.

Of course, if McCain does win, some Americans really will want to move here. They'll have to go to the end of the line of our million-strong immigration backlog.

About The Hook

I will be your Hook editor for this week. But although my particular focus at The Tyee is education, youth issues, and a little bit of poverty and homelessness, we will still be bringing you the latest news from across British Columbia and the country. Count on updates about the student strikes in Quebec, the latest news about oil and gas developments that directly affect this province, local, provincial, and national politics, and more. Stay tuned.
