    Nice straw man. Typical propagandist.

    Cost of Living in United States is 8.6% higher than in Canada (without rent)

    Cost of Living Including Rent in United States is 14.1% higher than in Canada

    Rent Prices in United States are 26.0% higher than in Canada

    Restaurant Prices in United States are 8.7% higher than in Canada

    Groceries Prices in United States are 5.2% higher than in Canada

    But by all means, go on spreading your propaganda.

      I’m not arguing for or against, I’m just pointing out the fact that emigration trend from Canada to the US is happening and it is at a 10 year high. I merely pointed out the reasons cited in the article as I clearly stated.

        I love in Canada but have worked for US companies and worked internationally for 15 years. I would never, ever move to the US. Ever.

        My belief is that the people moving to the US are moving there for, “freedumb” (no realizing that Canadians enjoy more actual freedom and have better protection of their rights than Americans do) I’m I’m more than ok with that.

          I don’t care, my point still stands. Your hatred of America or love for Canada is irrelevant, and so are your assumptions as to why people are moving (even they literally give you the reasons in the article). The fact remains that emigration from Canada to the US is at a 10 year high, is far above the historical average, and is increasing.

          In the same year (2022), only 10k Americans immigrated to Canada. This is only 8% of the number of Canadians who emigrated to the US (126k), despite the US having 8.5x as many people.

          There’s clearly a very strong disconnect between what you’re trying to insinuate and what’s actually happening.

            I don’t hate the US. I love Canada. I understand that Canada is one of the best places in the world to live. Those who think they will be better in a country with less freedom, less rights, less safety, and a higher cost of living because they bought in to the right wing bullshit may very well be better off moving to the US. I know Canada will be better for it.

                I’ve never understood putting an “lol” or an “lmao” or an “rofl” in a message. Are you trying to suggest that you’re smarter than I am or that what I said wrong or stupid? Are you trying to intimidate me? That is definitely not what I take away from it.

                I react very much the same way Russians do to people smiling in photos.

                  It means I found humor in your reply as the acronym clearly implies.

                  If you think an acronym like lol or lmao is an insult or an act of intimidation then you need to touch grass
