I'm surprised that I can't think of a specific American-turned-Canadian. I know the Gulf Islands are full of them.
By the way, Neil Young is a Winnipegger!

Kind of thought of that and could think of several local fugitives that were apprehended in Canada after many many years, but I am guessing they did not become legal citazens.
By the way South Dakota is a lot like Canada with out all the good parts. Cold as hell in the winter, hot in the summer, but no mountains, no jobs and poor healthcare.

I did a job on Vancouver Island. I was really nervous crossing the border.
"Well, sir, what is the purpose of your trip to Cananda?"
"Uh, <gulp>, vacation?"
<Oh, gawd, don't let him look in the boot, please?>
<Sir, do you always take Skil saws with you on vacation?>
<Well, I knew you wouldn't let me bring my Smith and Wesson, right?>

My father's mother's parents and family, who went from Minnesota to Saskatchewan.
ps You might be surprised at the number of SuperTacoans who are at least partly Canadian, or were born in Canada. I won't out anyone, but they're certainly there.

This is from a few years ago...
Illegal immigration of Americans to Canada
From the Manitoba Herald - Winnipeg, Canada
The flood of American liberals sneaking across the border into Canada has intensified in the past week, sparking calls for increased patrols to stop the illegal immigration.
The actions of President Bush are prompting the exodus among left-leaning citizens who fear they'll soon be required to hunt, pray and agree with Bill O'Reilly.
Canadian border farmers say it's not uncommon to see dozens of sociology professors, animal- rights activists and Unitarians crossing their fields at night.
"I went out to milk the cows the other day, and there was a Hollywood producer huddled in the barn," said Manitoba farmer Red Greenfield, whose acreage borders North Dakota. The producer was cold, exhausted and hungry. "He asked me if I could spare a latte and some free-range chicken.
When I said I didn't have any, he left. Didn't even get a chance to show him my screenplay!"
In an effort to stop the illegal aliens, Greenfield erected higher fences, but the liberals scaled them. So he tried installing speakers that blare Rush Limbaugh across the fields. "Not real effective," he said. "The liberals still got through and Rush annoyed the cows so much they wouldn't give milk."
Officials are particularly concerned about smugglers who meet liberals near the Canadian border, pack them into Volvo station wagons, drive them across the border and leave them to fend for themselves.
"A lot of these people are not prepared for rugged conditions," an Ontario border patrolman said. "I found one carload without a drop of drinking water. "They did have a nice little Napa Valley cabernet, though."
When liberals are caught, they're sent back across the border, often wailing loudly that they fear retribution from conservatives. Rumors have been circulating about the Bush administration establishing re-education camps in which liberals will be forced to drink domestic beer and watch NASCAR races.
In recent days, liberals have turned to sometimes-ingenious ways of crossing the border. Some have taken to posing as senior citizens on bus trips to buy cheap Canadian prescription drugs. After catching a half-dozen young vegans disguised in powdered wigs, Canadian immigration authorities began stopping buses and quizzing the supposed senior-citizen passengers on Perry Como and Rosemary Clooney hits to prove they were alive in the '50s.
"If they can't identify the accordion player on The Lawrence Welk Show, we get suspicious about their age," an official said.
Canadian citizens have complained that the illegal immigrants are creating an organic-broccoli shortage and renting all the good Susan Sarandon movies.
"I feel sorry for American liberals, but the Canadian economy just can't support them," an Ottawa resident said. "How many art-history majors does one country need?

Don't be fooled into thinking all Canajuns are nice. Check out small towns in Alberta or BC and you will find some of the biggest rednecks anywhere.
Alberta is kinda like Montana with money.
So a friend was drinking in a bar in backwoods Louisiana and the guy next to him says "Boy where are you from?"
Gary answers "Alberta"
The guy asks "How big is Alberta?"
Gary: "About as big as Texas"
Guy: "Boy, ain't nothing as big as Texas"

Sure Mike, just check your gun at the border and come on up. There is an amazing amount of good rock in Alberta and BC and a lot of dubious weather to go with it.

Your answer was redundant. All you had to say was "the game".

Just got back from a month in the states. Once again I learned a couple things: I can get a BRAND NEW vehicle OAC, and/or a personal loan. We were also asked multiple times why we weren't either in college or the army. Gets old....
