For at least twenty years....a number of folks have hyped up some chatter that they might be moving to Canada (originally because of Bush, and then later because of Trump). I've sat and pondered over this scenario.
First, I know it's a shock but Canada tends to go with one-third of the public shifting their votes about every five to ten years....going to right-wing conservative and then five years later.....left-wing liberal. So you could make this big move up there and wake up five years later.....realizing that you are among some extreme conservatives. Yes, it's bad enough that you'd have to leave Canada. Return to the US? Migrant to Belize? Maybe resettle in Honduras?
Second, if you notice....no one ever seems to move (even if they've made the threat forty times on national TV). I think most have driven across the border, checked taxation rates, and then laughed over the whole idea of moving there.
Third, the weather. Yes....for about 90-percent of Canada, the weather is a big deal. Maybe if you lived in Vancouver, it'd be OK, but for the rest of the nation...it's crap to have a six-month long winter.
Fourth and final....if you went did this really stupid thing....leaving most of your friends....who would socialize with or get hyped up with....in Canada? Yes, it's a very lonely place.
So, have at it, but I just don't think this scenario will ever play out.
