but running isn’t gonna fix the problem. for better or worse, I’m staying in hopes of helping the kids fix things, and share their hardships until we do. It’s the only way.
As an American, you can even vote from another country if necessary. No need to remain on US soil to live a good life or to contribute to change from a far. Staying isn't going to fix the problem either if the electorate continues to vote poorly, which you as an individual have no control over. Optimize for your quality of life for the subject time horizon.
interesting point. would you say the same to people fleeing from other countries to the US ?
But if you're fleeing Armenia-Azeri conflicts... you can avoid most of that in Canada.
If you have such a bias, maybe Alberta would be tolerable but I doubt it. If you're from the coastal portions of the US, Canada would be quite reasonable.
Also citizenship and residence are not the same. As for that political view, the article deals directly with motivations for why Canadian citizenship via this new process has become popular.
Nothing you can get here you couldn't in Texas or California or NYC, outside of healthcare (which is slowly being peeled away).
"Highly liberal" is laughable. In most cases the same bad actors causing problems in the US are the same in Canada.
