Try Australia. The weather's nicer and the chicks are hotter.

Or maybe the weather's hotter and the chicks are nicer.

Acutally, it's hard to tell how hot the chicks are in Canada, what with them being bundled up to keep warm most of the year.

I think 90% of the player base is from the US. Furthermore, I think most of the fish are from the US, not Europe or elsewhere.

so you mean moving to canada is outta the question? Would it be really difficult to become a citizen?

Do you plan on denouncing your US citizenship? If not, you will still have to pay US Income Tax. If you do, it will be hard ever getting into the States again.

Of course you have to pay income tax to one country or the other, but Americans with a home abroad get an $80,000 yearly exemption for foreign earnings. I would presume that you would pay Canadian income tax on those earnings, though.

As always, consult your tax lawyer or accountant.
