Any Canadian's considering moving to the USA? (lemmy.ca)

I'm kind of in a strange boat right now where I'm really comfortable in Canada yet I can't shake this feeling I need to get over to the US of A in order to take advantage of that strong USD. I, like many Canadians, work for an American firm and have a TN visa. Recently, my employer offered to sponsor me for a green card, if I ever choose to relocate to the USA. I can live pretty much anywhere I want as I'm a remote employee, but I do travel to the USA for client work.

It's a tough decision to make. While I consider it, I thought I'd ask the community. So, say you good lemmings?

No way. I moved here from there (I'm Canadian now!) and every day I'm gladder I got out.

I'd probably make more money there, but there are things I value more than money and my life is significantly better in Toronto than it ever was in any of the three states I lived in.

    What do you value more specifically about Canada?

    I'm not sure how to describe it beyond saying life feels a lot less confrontational here in Canada, even living in the largest city in the country.

    Obviously there are problems here, but it feels much more like an actual society than a collection of people who happen to live near each other.

    It's not even about healthcare or anything specific, those are just symptoms IMO. It's a larger philosophical difference between the countries
