USA immigrants head to Canada

The number of Americans leaving the country to live in Canada is at a 30 year high. According to ABC News, the reason for the elevated emigration rate is because Americans are disgruntled about the Bush administration policies. Does this mean that the opposite is true of all those that immigrate to the US from Canada, that they are disgruntled of Canadian policies?

The number of Americans that went to Canada were 10,942, or 36 people moving to Canada per million Americans. The number of Canadians that moved to the United States was 23,913, or 716 people moving to America per million Canadians. With the rate of flow from US to Canada being 1:20, wouldn't that indicate America's policies are better?

The big evidence offered by ABC News that Americans were leaving for Canada because of the Bush administration policies was the story of a labor organizer, Tom Kertes, that moved because he wanted to live in a country that respected human rights. Apparently, freeing Iraqis from the oppression of Saddam Hussein shows a lack of care to human rights?

What's best about the Kertes part of the story was that he wanted to get his stepfather up to Canada so his pre-existing health problems (diabetes, possibly other health issues) can be paid by Canadian taxpayers. Enjoy, Canada.
