From Michigan I’m with you ??????! I voted for Kamala

I’m from Michigan and totally agree with Canada ? ??

His people in Ontario have been driving to Michigan to buy their groceries because they can’t afford prices in their own country for YEARS. Don’t tell us how we are gonna feel. And the people made this decision. We voted trump in. I’m not a world leader but I personally don’t take economic advice from people who can’t manage their own ??‍♂️

I love the US. I love visiting the US. I'm going to miss crossing the border for Bills games, Sabers games, Michigan games but Canada first. I'll never spend a single cent there now.

It's Disgusting! And Embarrassing! We don't support this! I'm so Sorry Canada ❤?? ❤Michigan

I’m from Michigan. Hold my beer!

I’m from Michigan, but I’ve been there a lot (especially from age 19-21), and watched enough CBC to get these jokes no problem.

Salam ?? I'm happy for you. Do whatever is best for your family. My father-in-law was born and raised in the states, remarried and moved to Malaysia. If his opinion was the one to go by, Malaysia is to be ranked as the best country in the world. It has everything you would want according to your list of why you're leaving Canada: warm weather; affordable; Muslim nation; doesn't support israehell. I live in Michigan. I hate it here for the exact same reasons you outlined. I have literally never traveled outside of Michigan EVER due mostly to fear and anxiety of traveling. So the idea of MOVING is almost impossible due to fear and anxiety alone. I have a question, what about extended family? Won't you miss them, or are they tagging along? Salam and good luck ??

M from Michigan. M also new in America. India apnasa lagta hai.Abroad paraya sa lagta hai.Its my opinion.Himmat jaruri if you are coming to abroad plus we have to accept new changes in life in positive way. First 1 month we all enjoy later on the real life start...kabhi kabhi apne comfort zone se bahar aana bhi bahut jaruri hai.than only we come to know where we stand actual

I'm Canadian and worked in Dertoit for almost 10 years, I crossed the border daily working for GM. I've also done work in Louisiana, Indiana and all around Michigan. \nAmerica has some of the nicest people I've ever had the pleasure of knowing. It's a beautiful country and has a ton to offer anyone with an ounce of drive. The variety you have in your economy is amazing, we don't have a lot of choice when we buy stuff, you guys have so much more to choose from, take restaurants for example, I've never seen so many chain restaurants in one place, we have a handful of them. \nFrom what I've seen, there's also a lot of poverty, crime and violence, but that's literally everywhere right now, even here in Canada, we don't prosecute violent crime anymore. The gun issue is probably the biggest problem...I always felt extremely vulnerable out in public, especially driving, because I assumed everyone had a gun on them, I seen so many random guns on people, it just blew my mind. I always had to keep in mind when I was driving not to road-rage...That's how you get shot. The health care industry in America is nothing but a business model designed to bankrupt people. Our system isn't great at all...nothing to boast about. If you have to visit the ER at any hospital, you'd better bring food and water, you'll be there at least 8 hours before you're even seen by a doctor. Our health care is free yes, but we're taxed to death here because of it. I do indeed wish we had a 2-teir health care system, I want the option to pay to get seen soonest. America and Canada have free(ish) speech. We're both being ruled by leftist loonies, but that's all changing in our next respective election cycles. Biden and Trudeau will be shown the door and we can hopefully get back to healthy debate and more conversation in society...Instead of automatically dismissing each other, vitriolic badgering one another and hating each other. We had unity for a brief time, we all saw it, after 9/11 happened. We put our petty crap aside and saw each other as brothers and sisters. That didn't last very long and we've been in a constant state of crisis ever since. The media has driven a huge nail right through society, and takes a blow at every single issue we face, making it Left vs Right...\nIt's unfortunate to say, but it's going to take something truly devastating, possibly on a biblical scale, for us to come together again.

Québécoise here. We Canadians seem to forget that there is as much racism in Canada as in the US. We just like to hide it behind a smile for some reason… I’ve lived in northern Michigan for 4years when I was in high school and college. I preferred the kids in the US over the kids in Switzerland by a lot! But I admit that shooting exercises in school were very weird. A lot of kids were dying in car crashes too… \nAlso, as someone with French as first language, that was pretty horrible catching up. I attended summer class with a bunch of kindergarten, and the teacher told in front of the whole class how me and my siblings were so bad at English even though we were teens. Well I’m sorry I can only write a college level paper in French but not in English yet! Thanks for belittling us in front of toddlers when we’re trying very hard to catch up before actual classes start! I was thrown into English Senior classes during second semester and did pretty well thank you very much! Went onto creative writing in college. Someone told me they though I was mentally retarded until I told them French was my first language…

That comment is bang on about the batshit crazy political religious racist fusion that seeps into daily life…..nailed it.\nI’ve got family and relatives in Michigan, Ohio, Illinois, California, Florida Nevada. My second home was in Pinellas Park Florida.\nI’m living in Canada now , thank god , the situation in the USA at this time is a joke sorry to say

I’m American and Canada ?? is awesome I love the people. Some of the best people I ever met. Strangers paying for my food all type of stuff. Shout out to all Canadians. I wanted to move there it’s just too cold, I’m from Michigan. That Canadian weather hits different ?. But it’s somewhat strange to me that America and Canada open there borders like that. When every other country doesn’t want foreigners but there people stay coming to our countries make it make sense.

Ayyeee that’s that lake Michigan water. Ahh shit how we fuck up our own thing fuckin water ? I’m glad Detroit didn’t fuck it up for 5.5 ish million people in the metro area. Rip flint lead baby’s that aspca crazy

Im from Michigan the water used to be smackin now I say used to be cause I'm from Flint so.....yeah

I live in Michigan and we have some of the best places to explore if you like the outdoors. There's beautiful places all over the country but I'm definitely biased about what Michigan has to offer outdoorsmen.

While I know this may sound like I’m typing this ironically, given the Flint Water Crisis, some Michigan areas have some damn good tap water too. Nothing like waking up half drunk in the warm morning and drinking some cold tap water straight from the faucet ?

Being a 60 year old Michigan neighbor and frequent visitor to Canada for job duties, I can totally agree that Canada has not gotten better. They were always racist. I’m surprised Trudeau actually mentioned the Native American children Canada massacred in the name of god to assimilate. They don’t want them there period. They want to erase them. Thank you for your input.

I'm encouraging my grand niece who is in high school in the states to go to Canada for college and become a Canadian citizen. As a young black women, living in this society in the U.S. will be getting tougher to.live in.\nSince we live in Michigan, visiting family will be realitively easy.

I'm glad I'm in Michigan, border crossings are a bit harder here. I think there are only 4 main crossings.
