In all seriousness Canada is still a great place but we are at a bit of a crossroad for sure. We need a better balance between trying to be nanny state without a concern for the costs and bowing down to corporate interests because elected officials have jobs lined up for them after they’re done with politics.

I agree Canada is awesome (despite the politics), but I see no problem if people want to venture out regardless of their own reasons. There's a big, beautiful world out there and lots to experience and explore; Canada happens to be only one place out of many. As someone who has lived abroad (and come back), it can be an amazing experience to live somewhere else (if one can make it happen), especially given how short our time is on this Earth. Anyone who says otherwise is denying themselves some amazing opportunity and adventure.
I think it's awesome that btimbit is trying something new, regardless of their personal reason(s) for leaving.
