I'm kind of in a strange boat right now where I'm really comfortable in Canada yet I can't shake this feeling I need to get over to the US of A in order to take advantage of that strong USD. I, like many Canadians, work for an American firm and have a TN visa. Recently, my employer offered to sponsor me for a green card, if I ever choose to relocate to the USA. I can live pretty much anywhere I want as I'm a remote employee, but I do travel to the USA for client work.

It's a tough decision to make. While I consider it, I thought I'd ask the community. So, say you good lemmings?

This is a good place to start.

I already listed some of them. A big one is democratic freedom. In Canada we don't have gerrymandering or voter suppression. Every citizen has the right to vote and equal access to the ballot box. We are free to love who we want and to marry who we want. We are free to read what we want. Women have the same freedoms as men. We have workers rights. We don't have legalized theft on an industrial scale (civil forfeiture). Our police are far less militaristic and we have civilian oversight.

They beat their chests and proclaim themselves the freest people in the world but they are mistaken.
