2 years, 11 months ago @stewartbonner Simple. Canada =legal hassle free pot. ......so.........no. 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @independentmind1977 In terms of family safety and investment I would never move to the U.S.A. When I do travel across the border I make sure I have two sources of medical coverage in case I get ill or have an accident, as I know I might as well jump off a bridge if I end up in the hospital with an illness requiring surgery. Though I do appreciate the grit of Americans and the absolute hell the working class has been through this last decade, I do wish you all the very best and my heart is with you. 1 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @stephenpublicover8818 Hey Tyler , you should visit the east coast of Canada,Halifax, Nova Scotia, and have a vacation by the sea! 7 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @wallybacon22 I would never even go to Canada. Not a free country. Please don’t ask us for assistance if your country is attacked. 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @kingboarhog I was asked this recently by someone who thought I might answer differently... She was quite disappointed.\nYou know how many mass shootings have occurred in Canada? 11. Not this week, not this year... TOTAL! Aside from the slaughter of Native people... but that was a whole other thing.\n\nI love to visit... I'm not far from the border... But I love to come home. 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @valeriebrown4769 I as a British born, and now Canadian, really admire you for doing this. It was interesting to me that you said, gun violence in schools isn’t something that you think about. It is called ‘desensitization’. You, as an American, hear it so much that it fails to have the impact that the rest of us feel. Thoughts and prayers are beyond ridiculous. There is not a hope in hell that I would move to the US. 320 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @Nikephorus As a Canadian that lived in the U.S. for 12 years I will say that the reason I moved back to Canada is healthcare. Yes I had healthcare through work while I was in the U.S., but every single year it got more expensive and my deductible continued to increase. By the time I decided to move back to Canada my deductible was 5 thousand dollars (If I would have put my family on my plan the deductible would be doubled to 10 thousand). So i basically never went to the doctor for preventative care because I knew I was going to pay an arm and a leg for it. The only reason I continued to pay for the healthcare at all was so that if I fell and broke my spine I wouldn't lose my entirely net worth. 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @michaelhofer954 I was born and bred in New York and married a nice lady in Winnipeg and now I am a Canadian citizen for good. I love it up here .in the white north. 1 O0gJtVar7_E

2 years, 11 months ago @dylancanterbury8042 Why avoid the abortion issue that is a major red flag to me. 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @billmcdonald4335 It's like asking me to trade my poutine for your ammo. I got no friggin' need for your ammo. I don't need your ammo to make my poutine. Go away. Far, far, _far_ away. 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @bdc1960 If I were to leave Canada, and I'm not, my first choice is not the US, it's New Zealand and then several European countries before considering the US. 0 O0gJtVar7_E

2 years, 11 months ago @ChirpyMike A lot of pearl-clutching liberals in the comments. 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @SD-ik1xf I’m shocked that you’re surprised about all the comments around our children and school safety. That would be my first of many reasons for not moving to the States. Healthcare, women’s rights, LGBTQ+ rights, etc etc…… \nCanada is not perfect, no country is, but it’s light years better than the States. Sorry, eh. \n\n(McDonalds and Disney are not selling points, at least not for me!) 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @vickidowd3584 Those people who have kids should not ust be afraid of violence and school shooting. They should also be concerned with the policing of the educational curriculum by religious fanatics as well as the poorer quality of education. 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @JaniceRafael why did you back off of the abortion comment? these are the type of political things that Canadians see all the time in the news that would put us off moving there - same as anti-gay legislation in the USA 1 O0gJtVar7_E

2 years, 11 months ago @Kiljaedenas Well, let's see: Hyper-religious faschism, an astoundingly corrupt government, endless wars, EEEEVEERRYYBOODY hates your country around the world, utterly hellish healthcare system, non-stop gun violence...sorry, but hard pass. 1 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @leemayzes1200 It's not a Canadian / American divide. It's a rural / urban divide. Same here as there. The batshit crazy people here, as there, are in the city. Come to Canada, go to the bush, go out on the ocean or our rivers and lakes, and tell the city folk to go to hell. If the US would take our major cities' populations, we'd be much happier here. 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @ann-karint.larsen7585 Would you let your kids walk alone to school? If no, is that perhaps because it doesn't feel safe? Do they have lockdown drills at school? Isn't that an indication that violence is prevalent? 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @minkiitwo Not safe in America! 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @TonyWalkdenIAJOT For all the amazing things the US has to offer, right now we don't even want to visit there, let alone move there. We've talked about it a lot, but nope. In Canada, generally speaking (although there are exceptions to every rule) we have no idea what political leaning our neighbors favor. Political campaigns last no more than 51 days; they do not start the day after the last election and go on for years. This way, elected officials actually do some work instead of campaigning. Right now, the politics in the US, as well as the judiciary, are literally insane. Gun violence in the US is insane, as is the attitude towards guns. It shouldn't take a shooting that affects you personally to make you care about it, and it's not just at schools. The US has had 28 mass killings, with 140 victims, in 6 months... but the problem is that no one down there cares about that enough to stop it, or even discuss ways to stop it. The politics is so sold out to corporations that what is good for the people just doesn't matter. It is capitalism run amok. Environmental protections? They are an inconvenience, and most of them were rolled back a few years ago under the presidency of He Who Must Not Be Named. So politics, elections, shootings... but wait. There's more. I have a wonderful friend in the US who has amazing health care, and yet when he got cancer, he was screwed. We do pay a health care premium up here, but it is a drop in the bucket compared to what people in the US pay for private insurance. Yes, you have the best hospitals in the world, but it doesn't matter if you can't afford to walk in the door. Now dump the intolerance -- racism, homophobia, religious zealots, misogyny (yes, I am talking women's rights, equal pay, access to health care, etc) -- throw in the crazies with guns, and now ask the question again. I absolutely know that Canada is not perfect, and that the tolerances and attitudes towards all these subjects differs from region to region, but overall we are a country that tries to respect the rights and needs of others, that has empathy for others, that wants to help others, and that is a pretty firm foundation to make us want to stay here. (please don't interpret this as all Americans and all areas of the US have no respect etc... but the predominant issues of health care, politics, religion, corporate greed, and violence, now all supported by a bat-crap crazy SCOTUS, sadly spills and taints it all. I know there are amazing, generous, kind people all over the US, but I don't know where the crazies are or where they might pop up). 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @darlene8651 No. I have a health condition that would bankrupt me there. Even if I didn’t I would never live there. The gun culture, politics, and a woman’s right to choose being taken away are enough to keep me away. 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @anniefbomb3750 I was born, raised and lived in the US until I was 35. When the orange monster was elected I said F this and went to Canada. Best decision I ever made, it's clean, safe, free health care and the people don't just say they're proud Canadians, they show it. It's very community focused up here, we take care of each other. The ONLY thing that sucks in Canada is the food, American wins all day on that one. 1 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @viscountwesley1 No we are not a better America. We have a sane country, no guns, no militarized police, a democracy, a parliamentary form of government and a King as our Head of State. A Trump would be impossible up here. We elect a party not a leader. One non-confidence in parliament and our Vice Regent, the Governor General would inform the King and parliament would be closed for a new election. We also have no ridiculous nearly 250-year-old Constitution. Our Consitution is based upon the British North American Act. We can revise it anytime with the Governor General's permission (and the King's). We are a peaceful nation and do not think like Americans. But I'd travel in the North East US. America''s fixation with patriotism is nauseating. 0 O0gJtVar7_E

2 years, 11 months ago @MikesGoogleAcct I'm a CPA who works in both the US and Canada. Because of how small business (CCPC) taxes work in Canada, I would pay about 50% more in income taxes if I moved to the US. \nMost people will find their tax burden is lower in Canada. \nCanadians demand and get value for their taxes. and as a result, most Canadians (not all) still trust their government to do what is best for the majority. 0 O0gJtVar7_E

2 years, 11 months ago @gregjones73 Without looking it up, do you know how many mass shootings are happening in the states every year? Or every day? I love the states always have, but it has always amazed me how much American's don't know throughout their whole lifetime what's happening 2 blocks over. Cheers eh. 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @supertam545 I have heard that many Canadian's in Western Canada are saying if Trudeau wins the next Canada Federal election, they are gonna move to the US. There also seems to be a growing movement in Alberta Canada that Alberta should separate from Canada and join the US. 0 O0gJtVar7_E

2 years, 11 months ago @bryanc7233 It'd be nice to move to California and have beautiful weather and beaches but I'd rather just visit. Even if that means shoveling my driveway in the winter. 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @ChrisM-tn3hx Money is the only reason to cross to the US, and frankly, you couldn't pay me enough. I would make somewhere between 3 and 4 times the pay if I moved my career to a US city. Not worth it. \n\n- It's a country where the number one cause of death for kids under 19 is mass shootings.\n- There is political and racial violence and threat of violence rampant everywhere\n- the USA has 60 times the number of active serial killers at any given time as the rest of the world COMBINED\n- Educational standards are abysmal in many states, particularly the red ones.\n- Hand in hand with that is a general air of ignorance that is impossible to ignore or live with\n- At least one third of the population is afflicted with a strong case of Dunning-Kruger effect, and elects only those most strongly afflicted...\n- People are still fighting for basic rights and still being vehemently opposed.\n- 35 million Americans have zero medical insurance, and another 80 million are under-insured, versus zero Canadians.\n- way more people possess guns than are mentally equipped to handle one. 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @nancysherry9088 Canada doesn't have a disregard for any race or religion. in ANY neighborhood. Lot's of neighborhoods are naturally settled into by extended families, but those neighborhoods would not treat families of different race or religion. 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @stevewest5397 I think a big part of the feelings most have about not moving to the US, apart from the reasons they've been able to quantify, are the fact that we see the obvious problems not being fixed. In many other countries health care, gun control, etc may not be perfect, but change and improvements are made. In the US, we see any efforts shot down time and time again because the policians seem to be owned by corporations/lobbyists, and big business likes things as they are. This significantly erodes confidence in the US government's ability to address other crises that will come up. 35 O0gJtVar7_E

2 years, 11 months ago @Scotian169 Tyler, I can see you are sadden by these reactions and I feel for you. Honestly, I love the USA and I would actually live there in a heartbeat for all the positive reasons I know and love about the US. However, as Mom and a soon to be school age child, I would hesitate because of that. Canada has its own issues and don’t let everyone fool you. It’s not some social utopia. We have problems too just different. It’s like you said you need to pick a good, safe safe to live in. The same advise applies to Canada. Also, Reddit is full of your not so typical Canadians so take with a grain of salt ? 6 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @nancysherry9088 Tyler Bucket. You are in total denial about the insidious seeping of bat-shit-crazy radicals. It's true no matter where you live down there. been to wlmart recently? 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @Kakail For your school safety thing, I have never seen a metal detector in a school in Québec City. There are NO gun drill (prepareness for gun attack, don't know what your call them). In Québec right now, we have a big discussion about school violence (mostly intimidation), but never seen gun or knife involve in the discussion. That is priceless for teaching the children from my point a view. 5 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @chrissiecruise7196 Yes I would move to Florida or Texas in a heartbeat! I could add a few more places to that list. The people who commented should have given reasons more often. I think Canadians don't see enough of the good because media doesn't let it make the tv or go viral when it's something positive. If all you ever see or hear is negative, you're only going to view it in a negative. Sadly, it's the negatives that everyone hears about most 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @prospector14 Grew up in a border city; travelled extensively through 46 states. Canada may have issues but the USA has major problems. My answer - Nope. 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @stevewest5397 14:00 I would have to be making crazy stupid money to consider moving there, and live in a smaller city. Anything else would be out of the question.\n15:32 I live pretty close to Comox, glad to hear from a Californian. It's Vancouver Island, but that's a common mistake. Victoria is the capital of BC and is on the southern tip of the Island. 0 O0gJtVar7_E
