Exit Strategy

Independent Sources notes that the Democrats' exit strategy from the 2004 election has failed. Despite all the reasons why liberals would be welcome in Canada, a Reuters reports 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." But he does not mention the downside reported in the story.

"I can only assume the Americans who checked out the Web site subsequently checked out our winter temperatures and further took note that the National Hockey League was being locked out and had second thoughts,"

So it was the NHL labor union and the failure of global warming that foiled the Democrats' exit strategy.
