I complain about Canada for a legitimate reason. I've been threatened, harassed, had career interference and my most basic human rights violated. I'm not just talking about our Charter of Rights which is toilet paper here, I'm referring to even basic rights enshrined in the Magna Carta from 13th century! Anyone who has gone through what I have been through in a civilized and free nation would have had recourse long ago. Our East German system ensures this doesn't happen. Remember, we are apparently "just like you".
So, this said. Any American who thinks Canada is a better place to live and be free, I dare you to move to Canada. Specifically Toronto if you truly believe this. I really don't think most who do this comparisons believe Canada is better, that's why you still reside in America even while you are free to leave. However, you can be certain that MANY Canadians believe America is a more free nation and they back it up by moving there in their prime post graduate, or, in their retirement.
Americans don't do the same, even though even some of your celebs said they would. Why not I wonder?
First of all, no one moves to a country because it is more free.
They move in order to follow the money.
As the most powerful and dominant country, both militarily and for economic domination of the world, that is the US.
Moving elsewhere would just put someone under the control of the US even more.
It is like when ancient Rome was pillaging and plundering, so the safest place was in Rome itself.
Moving away from the US would not make one more protected from the US, but more vulnerable to being harmed by the US.
