In this article, the writer John Ortved writes about Canada, which has been a refuge to some Americans. To get reader's attention, in the first paragraph the writer states a common quote by many Americans nowadays: "If _____ is elected president, I'm moving to Canada. Many Americans view Canada with its universal health care and cultural progressiveness, and view it as a liberal refuge. Then writer goes on informing the readers about the reaction of the Canadians toward the Americans that have this view, and are moving to Canada. He says that many Canadians would welcome them, and supports this idea with a quote from a Canadian which states that they are happy to provide a safe haven for next indoor neighbors. Then the writer closes the article by stating some concerns and negative sides that Americans have in moving to Canada. It is that Canada is dominated by Conservative Party, and they are engaged in a program of significant fiscal restraint. And it is also that the margin between Canada and United States is slight, and to solve the problem some Canadians would have to move to US.
The purpose of Otved's article is to inform the readers about the fact that Canada is being and is going to be a refuge to many Americans especially the ones that support Obama. As Americans go through problems such as wars, and elections of new presidents, many of them flee to Canada, a country always welcoming them. Not only that, the purpose of the article is also to inform the cause of why the number of Americans in Canada is increasing throughout these years. Through his diction and tone, he does a good job in informing the readers with facility, making them have no problems in understanding.
