The other nation to the south is slightly more affordable. Those Canada tax authorities are quite a bit pricier to satisfy than Americans might be accustomed to.

It's also a fascist dictatorship with secret police and no guaranteed due process. So, there's that. But even beyond that, as a self-employed individual, I pay FAR LESS tax than I would in San Francisco.

Interesting. Mexico is a federal republic, not a fascist dictatorship. I think people should be able to live wherever they want, but that viewpoint doesn’t sync with the current geopolitical reality.

I was talking about the US, which is south of Canada, which is thought you meant. The US is a fascist dictatorship. From what I understand, Mexico can be fine in a bunch of places, but certainly has a random-armed-people prone to murder ratio that is much higher than I am comfortable with.

In Canada, we actually get things in return for paying our taxes.

In the US, we get to prop up the military industrial complex with our tax dollars. Yipee!
