ARE GOOD FENCES NECESSARY TO PRESERVE GOOD NEIGHBORS? MIGRATION FLOWS ACROSS THE CANADA-US BORDER AND THE DESIRED PROXIMITY OF CANADIANS TO THE UNITED STATES.
- Authors
Jedwab, Jack
- Abstract
Over the course of the twentieth century, well over three million Canadians migrated to the United States. A considerably less important number of Americans moved to Canada over the same period. In the first decade of the twenty-first century, the American advantage over Canada in migration between the two countries has been substantially reduced. Canadians have a strong affinity for the United States but are more attracted to living there part-time rather than permanently. This essay will look at historic and recent patterns of migration between the two countries and employing survey data explore current attitudes on the part of Canadians to the idea of living in the United States.
