I left Canada for America in 1999, riding that pre-y2k boom. I stayed for about 5 years.
To be clear, I gladly chose to make less money and move back.
I submit that there’s, oh, so fucking much more to calculate than fucking stinking lucre.
I also submit that the people who leave for raw unadulterated greed above all other things can fucking go. Canada is an objectively happier country on the list despite our lower raw dollar wage numbers.
If people figure that out, like I think I did, it’s very cool to come back. Doesn’t make news headlines though.
Now, offer a chance to go live in a country objectively happier than us and I’d consider it.
Money money money money.
