o canada, we stand on guard for thee
From the land of I-saw-this-coming-a-mile-away, official statistics now show that Americans did not run away to Canada following the 2004 elections. It seemed like everyone promised to move north if Bush won. Turns out they all changed their minds. Reuters reports:
Data from the main Canadian processing center in Buffalo, NY shows that in the six months up to the U.S. election there were 16,266 applications from people seeking to live in Canada, a figure that fell to 14,666 for the half year after the vote.
Although statistically this is somewhat weak data considering it is possible that human behavior varies significantly during different times of the year, the point is still made. Just as I suspected, the hits on Canada’s immigration web site going through the roof in November were the result of the massive hype created by the media. With the amount of attention the topic was given, it’s surprising that even more people did not visit the web site just to see what all the talk was about.
