Supreme Court Health Care Decision: Americans Angry About Obamacare Tweet About 'Moving To Canada'

                So as many of you know the U.S Supreme Court upheld President Barack Obama’s healthcare plan, dubbed “Obamacare” in a 5-4 decision. This immediately elicited a flurry of angry Tweets from Americans stating that they were promptly moving to Canada. @wallyweldon tweets “I’m moving to Canada, the United States is entirely too socialist,”.

                I (and many others I know) got quite a good chuckle out of the Twitter threat of a mass exodus to Canada, especially when it’s being prompted by a decision that Canada has instated (in some provinces) since the 1950’s. Not to mention the fact that Canada has legalized same-sex marriage. It never ceases to amaze me the difference within a country so close together. 

                To get all patriotic, it makes me happy to live in Canada when the biggest thing we argued about was Blockbuster closing (a terrible decision) and the fact that Tim Hortons was an American company (ack!). Not to say that our issues are never on such a large scale as a health-care reform; we just happened to have tackled all the hot button issues already…and came to a decision that everyone in Canada seems pretty ok with.

                So for all of you in America who are hell-bent on moving to Canada to escape your “commie” (as tweeted by @VanSummers) country, please come on over! In the words of my friend Shannon Hawke, “Please enjoy our free healthcare and equal marriage rights! We encourage immigration and multiculturalism! Here is your complimentary basket of maple syrup, beaver tails and hockey pucks. We hope you enjoy your stay, but if at any point you disagree with our open, liberal values, we apologize for the inconvenience and may we suggest you suck up your bigoted views and stay where you are. Thank you!”
