That's really interesting. Often in the past 20 years I've considered such a move, largely in response to the trends in US politics and policy.

As a Michigander I think I have a fair sense of what it'd be like to live in the climate of the Great White North, but not as much feel for the economy or the culture. It'd be fascinating to hear from folks who have made that move, especially with a view to assimilation: Canadian citizenship.
