  I’m not sure if you completely missed my point or if hating Canada is so big a part of your identity now that you just can’t miss any opportunity to spread that Rusian and Chinese anti-Canadian propaganda.

    “everything I don’t like is propaganda” - Typical Lemmy user

    No, what I said is true. You’re Canadian, how do you not know this?

    Tens of thousands of Canadians are emigrating from Canada to the United States and the number of people packing up and moving south has hit a level not seen in 10 years or more, according to data compiled by CBC News.

    There’s nothing new about Canadians moving south of the 49th parallel for love, work or warmer weather, but the latest figures from the American Community Survey (ACS) suggest it’s now happening at a much higher rate than the historical average.

    Actual reasons cited in the article: Lower taxes, higher wages, affordable housing, dislike of Trudeau’s politics, cheaper groceries, increasing crime rates, increasingly disappointing healthcare system, and warm weather

    Whether you agree or disagree with these reasons is irrelevant. The point is that trend is there and it’s accelerating. So to your tongue in cheek point about Americans mass migrating north, that likely won’t happen because the opposite trend is occurring as we speak.

      Nice straw man. Typical propagandist.

      Cost of Living in United States is 8.6% higher than in Canada (without rent)

      Cost of Living Including Rent in United States is 14.1% higher than in Canada

      Rent Prices in United States are 26.0% higher than in Canada

      Restaurant Prices in United States are 8.7% higher than in Canada

      Groceries Prices in United States are 5.2% higher than in Canada

      But by all means, go on spreading your propaganda.

        I’m not arguing for or against, I’m just pointing out the fact that emigration trend from Canada to the US is happening and it is at a 10 year high. I merely pointed out the reasons cited in the article as I clearly stated.
