The gun violence thing is interesting as it is so exaggerated by the Canadian press. Tragic and more dangerous then Canada for sure, but US homicides by firearms were higher yearly from 1970 to around 2000 then they are now. 1974 was a far more dangerous time to live or visit the US.
The people are great too. There is an odd superiority Canadian exhibit towards Americans as if they are all stupid. Nothing could be further from the truth.
Anyways I wish you well.

Not true, in fact both murders by gun and suicides have more than doubled since then according to pew.
I guess if you watch Foxnews for your US news all day you would think the Canadian press were the only ones reporting gun problems in the US but every other news in the US reports it far more than we do.
Fact, no other nation in the world has their leading cause of death to school age children from guns, no other nation in the world has anything near the mass shootings and no other nation in the world have anything near the amount of guns on their streets. the USA is a nightmare.
