YES WE CANADA The Progressives Guide to Getting the Fuck Out - Season Three

What do you think the New Brunswick press called a doll house collecting, disco dancing, 'committed bachelor' premier in the 1970’s?

I’ll be at Studio 54 if you need to reach me. 

We dive deep into Cali-anada,  the much discussed movement for California cede statehood with the  US and join Canada as our eleventh province.  Well, it is a ‘much discussed’ movement on this show, but, probably, nowhere else.

Over the past 20 years roughly 235,000 new immigrants arrive in Canada every year. The current Liberal government has upped immigration levels to 300,000 people per year.  Covid 19 isn't  helping them get to that number but the intent is there.  There’s a lot of criteria to get by the bureaucrat bouncer at the Canadian immigration rope line,   but if you’re between 18 and 54, language is an important factor for your approval.

To successfully immigrate to Canada, you have to speak and understand either English or French at what is called “Level 4”.  

With level 4 you could understand a grocery list, but perhaps not a doctoral thesis.   And may I just say,  that as a native English speaker,  I have fallen asleep reading a few doctoral thesis. 

Canadian is not as easy as you might think.  For example, do you have any idea what we call Beyonce's husband up here?  

This episode  will prepare you to speak Canadian.

This episode is about sex. Well, sex and love.  Because in Canada if you'renot in love, you don’t have sex. … We are a polite people.  I mean we don’t have casual sex in Canada, sex here is formal.  We fall in love, then we make love, that’s the way it rolls up here.

We also sometimes tell the truth in podcasts.  Sometimes.

Up here in Canada, we’re not worried that someone will shoot us in a fit of road rage if we give 'em the finger after they cut us off while driving. We’re polite, we don’t give people the finger.  Road rage Canadian style is more …like this:

  “go…after you, no, no I insist, please, really, I couldn’t, go! you fuckin’ asshole!  

 In fact, our whole system of measurement is different than yours. And you’re going to love this, because if you weigh 145 pounds in American, cross the border with your landed immigrant card and boom you will be a mere 65.77 kilograms in Canadian…I can feel that fat melting away and those abs just a poppin’!  

 You will have to learn our system of measurement – it’s called metrication and it can lead to blindness and hair growing on your palms.
