i never even liked america but living here is like paradise compared to my life struggling as a new grad in canada. america kind of sucks compared to canada of the 90s when i grew up where things were safe and the country had a bright future. i legit see no reason why anyone with talent should stay in canada. i don't know if i'll stay in america or try to flee somewhere else but every year that passes the idea of ever moving back to canada fades. when i first left i told myself it was just until i could afford a house and i would come back. now i could buy a house in canada with no mortgage thanks to my fat american salary but i would never dream of going back.  my dad is so proud of me for leaving too, he's so fucking depressed to see what happened to the country. he used to be such a patriotic guy. all gone. my mom used to ask when i would come back and now she just smiles and looks sad when i go back home. my brother is trying to leave himself.  literally every few months another relative reaches out to me about leaving. canada is literally over
