Who in his right mind wants to live in the US anyway? I don't even go there for shopping anymore. Too much hassle and aggravation..I live in Vancouver and am very happy here.

If your primary focus is income and career, then the US is an easy choice. I know many Canadians in the US who vowed to return if Donald Trump became president. He's been president for awhile now but they are still there. They say that the career opportunity and income is just too good to pass up (and can't be found in Canada) and they will tolerate a trump presidency for now. Anyway i knew they were not going to come back because seleval of them said the same thing about Bush in 2004 and never left.

Okay..I am not focused on money anymore and my career is ticking nicely, so it works out for me quite well.

there you go! But for many, they rather have money/career. I had to explain myself over and over when I first moved to Canada from the US. I was bombarded with questions like "why did you move? don't you make more money in the US and aren't taxes lower?". That, in addition to weather, made it hard for people to understand why I came up here.

Same here, I am from Switzerland and people just could not understand why we left 17 years ago. I never looked back!

Past experiences and adversity teaches you lot in life....
For someone who has seen not so great days will think a billion times
To leave a stable job and decent life......even tough the political climate is not so great.
I wish I could leave everything and come to toronto.....
Wish I just could say it like the Americans, I am moving to Canada.
