Jeff,
I am a Canadian born living still in Canada and I share much of the same beliefs as you. Being middle aged of modest income with a family I don't feel leaving is an option, so I hope for the best and hope that one day attitudes will begin to change in Canada and USA.

It's often depressing to see 1/2 of your income taken away by sanctioned theft. The communist ideals are becoming more mainstream in Canada. True free thinking individuals are becoming rarer here in Canada.

Canadians tend to rally around a culture of perceived moral superiority over Americans and that blinds us to how we are being swindled of our freedom in the very same manner. Thanks for sharing!
