There is some point of craziness that would make me take them all and leave I suppose, but hopefully it doesn't come to that.
I never really had a good reason to get it until now. Is there any downside? Has anyone done it and regretted it for some reason?
I believe I can still keep my Canadian citizenship and have a Canadian passport, even though I think the US doesn't recognize it. Is there anything I'm not considering other than being a traitor?

My wife is a dual citizen, I've been in the US on an IR-1 visa since 2023. I will be applying to become a US citizen as soon as I am eligible, which randomly falls on Canada Day in 2026.
We are of the opinion that there is no benefit to one being a dual citizen and the other not.
