If you think Canada is the answer then let me stop you right there. Canada's problems are only increasing and while there are no school shootings there are stabbings and homeless problems are increasing everyday along with not a lot of competition so high prices for everything, rising house prices, rising grocery prices and lastly, healthcare is completely falling apart with no access to healthcare for months or years unless it is a complete emergency.

Same on east coast sadly.
I grew up in a town near Toronto and when I visit my parents I am shocked that I hear the N-word used in public...too many Americans think Canada is Berkeley but nation-sized

and as you mention...Americans seem to have no conception that Canada's healthcare system is presently a shambles and anyone with decent insurance in the US is much much better off
