I went to the U.S. and am making more money than I ever could have in Canada and living in a house that I never could have afforded. The tuition per kid that I’m paying right now for elementary school is more than my salary that I was earning in Canada.

The Canadian brain drain is real and that’s because the politicians completely fucked up what we had previously which was a dominance in telecommunications. Ottawa could have truly been a “Silicon Valley of the North” but they fucked it up and couldn’t get around the idea that you have to grow prosperity, not tax people to death.

25 years later the gap between Canada and the U.S. is immense in terms of technical excellence and I don’t regret my decision at all to leave. I’m not going to sit around and become a slave to the worthless politicians, both Liberal and PC so they can siphon all my wealth like the Matrix in some delusional belief that it’s “patriotic”.

Ah yes those cowards -- like all the multicultural immigrants that built Canada and have made it a prosperous country. Cowards to leave their counties, etc /s
