couldn't stand the poor folk anymore, eh? stinking bastards mug you too. not that you wanna see them executed for it, of course -- better to move where they can't (afford to) join you. there's one kind of heterogeneity a person can do without! but hey, who could blame you? it feels exactly right.//
you've helped destroy the american left and i suspect you don't even begin to understand how. may Canada survive the influx of your like.
Couldn't stand living in a country that didn't care about the poor folk anymore. That should be obvious.Personally, I can't imagine emailing a stranger to voice disapproval of her life choices.
We each make our own decisions and live our lives as best as we can. I was tired of feeling so alienated, tired of fighting every moment of my life. Most people have been gracious enough to wish me luck. Instead you choose to spit. But I can't live your life and you can't live mine. You don't need my approval to stay and I didn't ask for yours to go.
As far as ruining "the American left", I doubt you live your entire life for it either. You probably do what's best for you 99% of the time. As we all do. If I didn't need a microscope to find "the American left" I might have felt more comfortable in the US.
As far as Canada "surviving" me - !!! What can I say? Do you think they'll survive an engaged, taxpaying, caring, community-oriented citizen? Gee, sounds scary.
I hope you're not so nasty and judgmental to the people you know and love. They may also make decisions that don't meet your specifications.
Well, I hope you're all surviving "the influx" of my "like". Glad you're nicer than that guy.

Well, as a descendent of some Americans who came here to protest their country's total overreaction to some stamp duties, I say bienvenue.
He's right though; who in their right mind would want all those things? You've seen first-hand how they're ripping Canadian society apart.
And frankly, we're all a little tired of hearing you and Allan griping about how terrible it is up here. We're all like, you asked for it! You knew you wouldn't have to pay for doctor's appointments! Suck it up!
I guess when Canada dies off, or whatever it is ol' Jack is worried about, we'll know who to blame.

Merci bien. C'est vrai. Trying to think of what else I can say in French... :)

M@, you are cracking me up. C'est vrai.
How sweet. JJ clearly thinks we are very special, as the mere act of us leaving the US has further destroyed the left wing. (As L indicates, the American Left is very small, so maybe 2 people leaving does make a sizeable dent.)
couldn't stand the poor folk anymore, eh?
What an idiotic thing to say -- and JJ can't possibly be so dim as to not realize it. Unless "he" is actually a bushbot in a not-so-clever disguise.
You could easily (and more accurately) say we couldn't stand the rich folk anymore. Those reverse Robin Hoods in power (Dems and Repubs alike, stealing from the poor to give to the rich) have taken way more from us than the poor folk.
Why don't you publish the email addresses of these goons, so that we get to have a piece of them too. Why should you have them all to yourself?
C'mon, the concept of sharing is a very liberal one.

How very Canadian of you. I must be part Canuck myself because I have the same reaction whenever some idiot vomits on my blog. Hmmm...e-vomit.
Way to tell Jack off! (Sorry, couldn't resist.)
The American centre, let alone the left, has much bigger and more immediate problems to worry about.
We have plenty of poverty here, too, for the record.

Very true. It's all relative. As someone told me when I first started this blog, way back when, "Canada is less worse".
I'm coming in late in the game, but I wanted to commiserate - I think it takes a lot of presumption to write such a horrid e-mail to someone you don't truly know.

Unfortunately, this action highlights, once again, the general coarsening of manners in the world we get to share.
I think I'll link to this in my new bitch slap category -- along with Sharon Olds' letter to Laura Bush.
I'm honoured! But is JJ doing the bitch slapping, or am I?
My intentions really weren't to put him down. I just wanted to point out how ridiculous (and rude) his email was.

Well, if you wanted to reply to dear Mr Jack, you could say "Tu es un couillon" (pronounce as too eh uh coo-yonh)....Translation: You're an a**hole
(pronounce as too eh uh coo-yonh)
well...it sounds more like "too eh uhn kwe yonh", but it's close enough.
