10,942

There was an article on the CBC this evening stating that Americans immigrating to Canada has reached levels not seen in almost 30 years:

The number of Americans admitted to Canada last year reached a 30-year high, with a 20 per cent increase over the previous year and nearly double the number that arrived in 2000.

The results of a survey, conducted by the Association for Canadian Studies, also revealed that the so-called "brain drain" of Canada appears to be narrowing.

The survey found that 10,942 Americans came to Canada in 2006, compared to just over 9,262 in 2005. In 2000, 5,828 came to the country.

I look at that number and realize that Mason and I make up that last number in the figure, 10,94(2.) 

That's kind of neat :-)

Howdy. I've just spent the last 12 hrs (not counting a little shut-eye) experiencing the fast forward version of your extraordinary Odyssey. Told with great humanity and full of insights for everyone. Welcome to Hogtown, big ups for the Danforth and enjoy your first very-own.
