Okay I'm shocked at myself for actually making the effort to answer one of Richius' threads, but here we are.

Here is a list of famous Canadians, provided by our good friend Wikipedia.  I haven't taken the time to check them all, but a sizeable chunk of them have remained Canadian citizens.

Ever heard of dual citizenship?

Well you took the time to ask the question, so feel free to go through the whole list and check each person to see if they all became American citizens or dual citizens.  You should find all the answers you need there.

Unlike Mexicans or any non-english speaking nation for that matter, Canadians are not seen as "foreigners" in the U.S. You can't tell if a person's Canadian, but you can if he/she is Mexican(most cases), Chinese, Middle eastern(most cases), Japanese, etc.

You must be logged in to read this quote.

I don't really see how that's relevant, but OK anyway.

wow you slaughtered a quote LOL!

But it's relevant because Canadians feel more welcome by Americans, and can easily adapt to the environment. Unlike the people i mentioned above, Canadians and USAnians live a similar lifestyle with a similar culture, so it's EASY for them to blend in, and especially take advantage of the fact that USA is FAR more populated than Canadia. so... that was my point!

Richius, what percentage of Mississippians or Ohioans or Nebraskans with 'ambition' end up becoming residents of Los Angeles or New York?

It depends where your ambition lies.  If it is technology, you'd probably want to be in Silicon Valley.  If it is finance, probably New England.  If it is ranching and growing crops, or testing new methods of selectively breeding plants, you'd probably want to stay in Mississippi.

The point is, Canadians are moving south at an alarming rate.

then close the border with canada, or beef up the entry riquirements

1. The are sucessful in general, but excel in some areas, usually relating to internation economics/diplomacy.

2. They are internationalist, but have strong national sentiment.

3. They are not concerned with comparing themselves to superpowers, and have realistic expectations that they can't be, but ARE concerned with bettering their situation. They don't have thje luxury that a major or superpower has, of dominating world affairs, but they do have high 'mobility' and are increasingly becoming important players on the world diplomatic and economic stage.

My international studies teacher would be filthy with my wording, but basically hats how Australia operates in the world, and to a slightly lesser extent, countries like Thailand, South Africa and Canada.

same for my country, which is often underrated by Americans.
