"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. It goes like
this: When you're miserable compared to someone else, you can feel
relatively better off by finding faults in the other.
It's sorta "I'm OK, You're Not."
Also known as "penis envy".
