#75 Threatening to move to Canada
Often times, white people get frustrated with the state of their country. They do not like the President, or Congress, or the health care system, or the illegal status of Marijuana (it is also illegal in Canada, but I am sure that will change soon). Whenever they are presented with a situation that seems unreasonable to them, their first instinct is to threaten to move to Canada.
For example, if you are watching TV with white people and there is a piece on the news about that they do not agree with, they are likely to declare “ok, that’s it, I’m moving to Canada.”
Though they will never actually move to Canada, (but mind you I actually did) the act of declaring that they are willing to undertake the journey is very symbolic in white culture. It shows that their dedication to their lifestyle and beliefs are so strong, that they would consider packing up their entire lives and moving to a country that is only slightly different to the one they live in now. (refer to March17-21 blog posts)
Within white culture, it is agreed upon that if Canada had better weather it would be a perfect place. The funny thing is that BC, in my opinion, has better weather than most areas in the US. Being aware that this information can be used quite easily to gain the trust of white people. Whenever they say, “I’m moving to Canada,” you must immediately respond with “I have relatives in Canada.” Chances are if you are reading this you can safely say that you have family/friends in Canada!
They will then expect you to tell them about how Canada has a perfect healthcare system, legalized everything and no crime. Though not true, it will reassure them that they are making the right choice by saying they want to move there.
But be warned, they will reference you in future conversations and possibly call on you to settle disputes about Canadian tax rates. Taxes in BC just went down from 6% to 5%, YEA!! So use this advice only if you plan to do some basic research.
Note: Canadian white people threaten to move to Europe.
Note: Europeans are unable to threaten to move anywhere.

ReplyDeleteRemember back to when Bush first won and a lot of famous people said they would move if he won. I don't think any of them moved!
I am tempted to join you up there, the pictures you have are beautiful.
Depending on how the election turns out this year maybe I will :)
