Indeed. With that said there are some cultural cases too. I know of several families who did well financially but left years ago because Canada was getting too woke for them. Some went back to Eastern Europe where racism is alright, and others went to Florida. Still these kind of cases are probably the minority. 😄
Personally I do have the grass-is-greener periods now and then but I'm sticking with Canada due to what I think is likely one of the safest places to be in 2050. I'm trying not to think about how drought, heat and extreme weather will affect many other parts of the world. I think we still have a chance to keep this place decent socioeconomically and politically.
That second paragraph… I know what you mean. I like imagining myself living in Australia or somewhere else that’s warmer but long term Canada will probably be the best place to be for trying to survive climate change.
The main thing that holds us back sociopolitically is probably our proximity to the US.
I'm counting on us being close to mostly sane states. When shit begins hitting the fan I think they'll gain significant control over the US simply because they'll be much less fucked economically than the South. So I imagine that even if there is some sovereignty dispute or a "takeover" it would be closer to moving to NY or California than moving to Florida or Texas. Of course these are super wild guesses. If the US goes full dictatorship it will be a Southern dictator who could usurp national power for decades... So go Stormy go!
I’m hoping the crazy situation in the US will get well educated Americans and big corpos to migrate to Canada so we can get that free boost to our economy.
