Also Canadian here (I've been using this account for years despite the name though).
The above poster is correct that Canada also has a lot of problems. I lived in the U.S. for 20 years and probably would have stayed if I could have. For many people, moving to the U.S. was seen as highly desirable for a long time, especially for tech workers.
I've noticed the reverse is true since around the start of Trump's presidency (not for tech workers though, at least not yet).
I also agree with the suggestion that Canada is at risk of falling into fascism as well.. we were a razor's edge away from electing our own version of Trump in our most recent election almost a year ago... funnily enough, Trump's talk of annexing Canada shortly before the election swung the polls enough that the Liberals were able to retain power (and fortunately, with a minority government that gives our 2 social democratic parties some political sway even with only a handful of MPs).
Now there may be more Canadians coming back (and American refugees coming) that the tide has noticeably shifted.

Everything I hear around me is people coming back from the US, they don’t feel safe with their family.
Oh, just saw you created your account an hour ago. Never mind then, just making shit up to troll.

Reddit is a great example, it's like a different dimension of reality.
