I moved to Canada to avoid Trump's second term, but I can't escape US politics (www.msn.com)

Good explanation from the author on how to move from the US to Canada, along with a reason that I think most, if not all, of us would agree with.

Though I think the author is a bit too nervous on a couple of minor points. FWIW I'm from the US originally and I'm fully into the buy Canadian / buy anything but US brands idea, and I don't have the same reaction to seeing the Canadian flag everywhere - I think it's great!

Mm, I might have agreed with you about the American-like use of the Canadian flag at the height of the trucker convoy protests on Ottawa.

But our current situation is a bit of a different movement, that is Canadians taking back the meaning of the Canadian flag from anti-vaxxers and xenophobes.

The same thing happened in the USA during the Harris campaign, people of all political leanings wave the flag with pride in what they believe they're country stands for.
