just move here.
"According to a report by Statistics Canada about 167,300 Canadian
residents moved to the U.S. between 2001 and 2006*. That’s about
33,000 per year. By comparison about 9,000 Americans move to Canada
each year, and the U.S. has nine times as many people. "
There's a psychological syndrome that seems to be in play here.
Yes there is.
Let's explore it by posting some additional information from the story
you linked to:
===========
Update, June 29th, 2012:
The Statistics Canada report provides data from both the Canadian
census' Reverse Record Check (RRC)—the data cited in the piece—and the
American Community Survey (ACS). The American Community Survey
estimates that, in 2006, 73,000 people residing in the United States
lived in Canada one year earlier; 34,000 of those people were born in
Canada.
Do emigrants from Canada to the U.S. stay in the U.S.? For 2006 the RRC
data suggests that "approximately one-third of emigrants from Canada to
the United States intended to return to Canada".

How many retired Canadians LIVE in the US - vs how many working-age
Canadians move to the US (and bring their families) to work and live in
the US and/or become US citizens?
There are a ****-load of retired Canadians that spend more than half the
year living in the US. Technically they can say that they "live in the
US". Keep that in mind in the context of the story that you quoted.
Those people hang on to their Canadian passport and maintain legal links
to Canada for one very important reason: HEALTH CARE. They'll return
in a second when they get sick.
Second, look at the update. Half of the so-called "Canadians" that
"resided" in the US in 2006 weren't even born in Canada. And a third of
all "Canadians" that moved to the US intended to return to Canada.
So none of this helps to make your case that proportionately more
Canadians become US citizens than vice-versa.
And while you're here, you haven't responded to this:

Senate Moves To Allow Military To Intern Americans Without Trial

The Senate is set to vote on a bill today that would define the whole of
the United States as a “battlefield” and allow the U.S. Military to
arrest American citizens in their own back yard without charge or trial.

Now do you want to take your foot out of your mouth and formulate a
cogent response to the new law that your congress has just passed?
And you might want to look at the USA section he
