Maybe those Canadians are a little annoyed that nobody ever thought of them as anything but America's Hat until they needed something from them, eh?
I did an interesting little eligibility survey on the country of Canada's website quite a few years back and they politely told me that I wasn't qualified at the time to be a desirable immigrant, basically. I don't hold a grudge though, and I would love to move there one day not for any political reason but simply because the place is beautiful no matter where you go.
