Citizens from "The Land of the Free" flock across the border to marry their same-sex partners; others come to smoke marijuana. AWOL American soldiers arrive to seek refugee status. Canada is suddenly cool. But within months, Canada re-criminalizes marijauna and there's a campaign to revoke gay marriage...
