I have literally lived in the US before. I spent 12 years in Canada, right next to the US as well. Awful place to live.

And of course your multinational coworkers want to move there. They’d make a lot of money to insulate them from the awfulness. Not to mention a huge raise compared to working in their home country.

How long did you live in the US? And what part of Canada did you live in to be near the US?

Most of the Canadian border is sparsely populated on the US side. So I can't see how being in Canada would give you much of a feel for median/mean U.S. life.

I lived in Connecticut for 6 months if you care.

And Canada is relevant because I visited the US multiple times per year for both work and pleasure and got to see what living in different cities would be like. And it was awful.
