Unfortunately from the guy in charge of Canadian Immigration

"But please spare the sob stories.

Asked whether an applicant would be looked upon more sympathetically if they claimed to be a sad Democrat seeking to escape four more years of Bush, Iadinardi replied: "There would be no weight given to statements of feelings."

Tim, remember who crushed the South. It was the North. You guys push too hard and it could get very unpleasant.

The South was the breakaway section in the 1860s.


Exactly. And now its the South who wants the North to stay. The North weren't pushovers back then and they won't be now........assuming they want to secede.

The CSA didn't include states like Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, Kansas, Iowa, West Virginia and Missouri, to count only the states that existed at that time. (14 Red States and 5 Blue States didn't exist back then).

I don't understand your point. However, its important to note that I believe the vote in Kansas, Iowa, Kentucky and Indiana was very close......they almost joined the South.
