Interesting thread, as I've thought of the same thing myself over the last few years. Canada is definitely my home and I'd miss it if I were gone, but only for sentimental reasons. I find Canada to be a rather lacklustre mix of high taxes and little services. It seems like an attempt to get the best of both worlds of European socialism and American capitalism that instead gets the worst of both. But then I think where would I go? No interest in the USA outside of California and NYC, and cost of living in either of those places is insanely ridiculous. Europe maybe but then it's still with the taxes. Anything else is too far from family. So I guess I'm stuck for now...
