Magazine (a Canadian socio-politico-complexo-migraino mag with a humourous bent) and geekend.ca have created a satrical site called Marry An American:
Ladies and gentlemen, drop your borders
When the provisional Ohio votes are counted and if George W.
Bush is re-elected, single, sexy, American liberals – already
a threatened species – will be desperate to escape.
These lonely, afraid (did we mention really hot?) progressives will need
a safe haven.
You can help. Open your heart, and your home. Marry an American.
Legions of Canadians have already pledged to sacrifice their
singlehood to save our southern neighbours from four more years
of cowboy conservatism.
Be sure to read the personal profiles. They’re amusing:

Why get to know me: Together, we will work together to prepare the seeds of the revolution that will

corporate elite.
Like I said, I’ve already got that covered.
