Sister, you are right. The movement between the two countries can partly be explained by globalization. The movement south or north are mostly by highly trained people who go to where there are better opportunities in their fields. This is indicated by the insignificant  30,000 out of a population of 250M.  This is hardly a new phenomenon. For example, ambitious actors from north of the border often  head south to make a name for themselves. Young men ran away north rather than fight in Vietnam  
 
The mocking use of the "yes we can," meant as a slight to Obama is just a misguided sentiment.

Isn't this what Global Economy is all about?
USA is being affected by what is happening in Europe, China and elsewhere.  People will move further than North America, unless they have internet businesses.
Gathering from Wallstreet, even Capitalism is outdated and what they call socialism seems to be in.  What do you say?

Americans moving to Canada in record numbers: report

In what seems to be a reversal of fortunes from the 1990s, more and more Americans are looking to Canada as the 'land of opportunity.'
According to a new report by CTV News, economic woes in the U.S. are driving a record number of Americans across the northern border as they seek better job opportunities and cheaper education in Canada.
In 2011, Ottawa approved 34,185 visas for U.S. residents — a figure that falls just short of the all-time record of 35,060 approved visas in 2010. By comparison, fewer than 20,000 Canadians moved to the U.S. over the past two years — the lowest number in nearly a decade.
It wasn't always this way.
When I was in university — back in the late 1990s — my economics professor asked how many of us intended to move to the United States. Almost all of us, fourth-year macroeconomics students, raised our hands.
It was the 'brain-drain' era: the American economy was strong and many of Canada's best and brightest were heading south to find work. Both the media and and politicians dubbed the exodus a crisis; studies were commissioned and papers were written.
But what a difference a decade makes.
"Since the 2008 economic crises, we have witnessed a steady stream of Americans applying for Canadian work visas," Canadian immigration attorney Michael Niren told Yahoo! Canada News in an email exchange on Thursday.
"The main reason for this is lack of employment in the U.S. and our strong Canadian dollar."
Niren says most Americans who come to Canada do so through the expedited "NAFTA visa" process which requires applicants to have a Canadian job offer in one of 63 recognized occupations. The U.S. has a similar temporary visa — the TN visa — for Canadians who want to work there.
For the time being, however, it appears Canada's brain drain has been plugged.
