Heh -- I once considered renting temporary lodgings with an ex-Canadian national who had a motel up in Washington State.  He owned and ran an old-fashioned cottage-style motel of the type that's still popular with contractors.  He appeared to be Scottish, complete with the appropriate accent.  He wore a heavy plaid coat with a plaid winter-style baseball cap on his head -- he looked a lot like a logger, and he was probably around 50 years old.

The man wasn't above loudly sharing his reasons for leaving Canada -- and one reason in particular.

"Eh, gad, man (pronounced 'muun'), it's like Communism.  They won't (pronounced 'woooun't') let ye ha' no GUN!"

He might have liked things in my neck of the woods.  Maybe it would have been too warm for him here -- but he probably would have appreciated other aspects of the situation.
