Mostly it was moving from the Midwest to a sub-tropical beach paradise. Which I thought (but definitely didn’t say) was kinda funny, because her reason for saying she’d never move was family. But pretty much all the reasons she’s been glad we did move are related to trump and what the US has become.
Hope it works out for you. Due to certain financial outcomes, I’m pretty much stuck where I am, for better or worse. Will have to be satisfied that my teenaged daughters never had to live in trump’s America.
We (me much more strongly than my wife) are considering leaving altogether.
One reason I advocated for the twin cities as our “final” stopping point was because the boundary waters are a very porous border and I know i could get my family across with relative speed and low risk
(Also I’m 100% cool with the expectation of reasonable cultural conformity and aside from dropping the occasional “ope” and “lemme just squeeze right by ya” I’ll blend right in)
What about it made her want to move?

You still can’t have Canada though. But if you’re nice and promise not to annex the country, we might let you in.
