I will say that I read one of your links and while the USA did take in more immigrants, Canada took in almost twice as many immigrants per capita. You are forgetting the fact that the USA has ten times the population of Canada. Multiply Canada's figure by ten and you will see that we in fact take in way more immigrants in a relative sense.
Did you happen to learn the meaning of the word "specious" along the way?
How many people currently live in Canada has nothing whatsoever to do with my argument or yours.
If 1 person lived in Canada and 100 billion lived in the USA, it wouldn't change the fact SEVEN TIMES as many people try to move here as there.
Unless you can somehow make a case that the number of people living in a place determines how many people will want to live there? If you guys have it so good, I'd think the lower population density would add to the allure. If I have to live in an apartment, I'd rather live in a 1000 sq foot apartment than a 600 sq foot apartment. If I'm going to have a yard I'd rather have a half acre than a quarter. Since when is being stacked on top of people an attraction?
You yourself said our "crowded ghettoes" suck- yet people prefer here to there 7:1. It's not even close.

The weather is the main draw. You should understand coming from Wisconsin that the long winters here can wear you down over time. Also, I never said that the USA is terrible, because it's not by any means. It is definitely a decent place to live. I'm just pointing out that you guys can do better.
So Canada is "way nicer" except for freezing all the time? We get snow in December and I'm fishing in my canoe every March. I can handle ice fishing for 3 months of the year. (I actually look forward to the change)

From my perspective, my argument is incontrovertible. Population has nothing to do with why less people move to Canada. Less people move to China and India too, and they have MANY more people than the USA. Guess your logic only applies to the USA?
