but, if we had full mobility rights as a part of nafta, i would have an easy solution to my problem, as i would be able to relocate into a liberal and arts-focused part of detroit, rather than being stuck in this sleepy, conservative, family-centric suburb of it.

again: i don't really want to live in windsor. just like i wouldn't want to live in kanata, or i wouldn't want to live in brampton. while windsor is like the poor man's kanata, or the poor immigrant's brampton, the refugee's brampton, it's still increasingly hurtling towards this mindset of boring small town suburbia, with churches or mosques on every corner, and nothing to do but get trashed. there's nothing to do here except raise a family...

what i want is to live in detroit, where there is an urban core dedicated to an urban lifestyle and an urban philosophy - secularism, liberalism, radical acceptance, art as a way of life, etc. but, there's that pesky border, there.

full mobility rights would fix that.

right now, the movement of people is only happening one way, and it's a part of the problem that's developing: it's too easy to get into canada, and too hard to get out.
