Every 4 years we have to listen to celebrities in this
country threatening to move to Canada if candidate X
gets
elected. Despite the hundreds of high profile blowhards
threatening to do so, not one famous person has ever
followed through with their "threat".
So for 1 week every 4 years
after the presidential
election, Canadian border towns would
decorate their border crossings with posters of Cher,
George Clooney, Johnny Depp etc saying "Welcome new
Canadians!"
The festivities would include reporters standing at the
border giving regular celebrity watch updates. "Still no
sign of any celebrities eh? Back to you Bob."
Plus there'd be barbecues, booze and pie.
Randy Quaid tries it both ways.

I'd vote for that. A "money where your mouth is"
campaign. |

Tell us more about the // barbecues, booze and pie. // |
|
| |
No, being Canadian in origin, they will be subject to higher
tax rates. However, they will be just as brave, yet less
celebrated, and contain no corn syrup. |

Canada's a socialist country. Everything's free. |
|
| |
No, [Ian]. Not "everything else". Pretty much everything can (perhaps
should) be labeled "Does not contain some ingredients." |

But... _everything_ contains some ingredients. |

|

What?????!!!!! Canada's a country? |
|
| |
"Contains some ingredients. Does not contain some ingredients." |
|
| |
Perhaps just "Contains contents" would eliminate any
ambiguities. |

I think you're thinking about homeopathy. |
|
| |
Yep - you're definitely thinking about homeopathy. |
|

... but only a very, very tiny bit. |

Oh it's true. Many US celebrities do -try- to cross the border into Canada. Canadian border services typically begin stockpiling ammo in late August of US election years. Depends on the year, as early winter onset tends to keep the numbers down. Last election year they winged Ted Nugent. |
|
| |
It's just totally unfair the way that the border guys get first shots ... and the bag limits are way too low, the close season is too long, and worst of all there are few if any major awards ceremonies because "You're not allowed to bait 'em". Spoilsports. |

Randy Quaid followed through - alhough only for 5 years.
[link]. After further consideration, Quaid might not qualify
as disaffected as he seems fully affected. As by what, your
guess is as good as mine. |

Maybe they only appear on the Pokemon Go app? |
