Maybe I'm exaggerated about the reasons for the fleeing (or that it was even fleeing), but still, more people in Canada want to live here than Americans want to live in Canada

No, people who move to the US do it because American jobs traditionally pay more (now that your dollar is sucking, though, that'll likely change). I don't know anybody who's left Canada on account of healthcare.

Incidentally, the link doesn't work.

I want to move somewhere else.  Europe and Asia have rediculously high paying jobs.

Since craz3d sucks at fixing his link, here: http://www.abcnews.com/print?id=3433005

It's too bad they only interviewed Americans moving to Canada, not the other way. I'm reasonably sure that most Canadians who move to the US would say it's because they found a job there, though.

I was considering rather seriously moving to Canada for work at Manitoba port on cargo ships awhile back before deciding to move to Grand Rapids for vocational schooling.. I have never had a problem finding work here in the U.S.

Manitoba port? You're aware that Manitoba is almost totally landlocked, right? The only port is in Churchill (I think) on Hudson's Bay, I'm not sure that would be a nice place to work, though, unless you like fighting polar bears.
