Moving to Canada
Toronto Star: More Americans Heading North
For 34-year-old labour organizer Tom Kertes, the move last April from Seattle, Wash., to Toronto was based on human rights.
“The words `human rights’ are foreign words in the U.S.,” Kertes said. “They only apply to other countries.”
He also cited the war in Iraq and the torture of Iraqi prisoners by Americans and the failure of the Bush administration to clearly disavow such practice as contributing factors to what is a major decision.
