Whenever the topic of American moving to Canada comes up it seems that many americans either can't even entertain the concept of anyone on the planet not wanting to be an American, or they get their backs up and start flinging insults. Is it just me or is this sort of reaction uniquely American? No one in canada or europe seems to gets their panties in a twist when people emigrate from our countries.
Americans are quick to recognize their immigrant roots, and the desire to move to a land of opportunity free of persecution, yet this topic never goes unchallenged with the trite "if you were a real american you'd stay and fight". Sadly this is often followed by a variation of "don't let the door hit you on the way out"
