OTTAWA (The Borowitz Report)—Canada announced today that it was tightening security along its border with the United States amid concerns that there could be a mass migration of illegal Americans after Tuesday, November 6th.
According to Randolph McTavish, Deputy Commissioner of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, border patrols are on alert due to an “increase in chatter†indicating that a threat to Canada’s border might be imminent.
“We’ve been intercepting troubling comments from some very freaked-out people,†he said. “Most of it has been on NPR call-in shows.â€
Stating that the R.C.M.P. is patrolling every kilometre of the Canadian border, he issued this warning to Americans who might try to cross into Canada illegally: “If you drive a Prius, you will be stopped.â€
He also warned Americans against trying to slip across the border in the hopes of passing as Canadians: “It is very difficult, if not impossible, to pretend to like hockey.â€
Mr. McTavish said that he was sympathetic with those who might flee across the border in search of a new life and socialized medicine, but added, “At the end of the day, forty-seven per cent of Americans is more than Canada can handle.â€

Why does it sound like this article is too lighthearted..
What's the act about immigration that can possibly take into effect on Nov.6th?

Canadians dont take things too seriously, they just live freely and try to enjoy life in a peaceful way.

I'm Canadian myself.
Funny how when we're on the internet, we assume that we're the only Canadian on here.
But I digress, I find it amusing myself how the RCMP was portrayed like that but a bit of seriousness would reinforce some confidence in me.

Maybe this'll hurt Romney. With all the tax havens he has, chances are, at least one is in Canada.

Yeah, the whole thing looks like a joke. Made me LOL, too. You're not supposed to take it seriously... at least, not yet. But it did remind me of American "economic refugees" mentioned in Deus Ex. :o
