An American family from Ohio have taken the drastic step of leaving the country and are now renouncing their US citizenship.

Jennifer Doxey along with her husband Joe and their family have moved to Canada.

But they claim they are not renouncing their citizenship just as an act of defiance. In their view, it's a necessary step toward true belonging in the country they now call home.

'I'm just so embarrassed by what my country has become,' Doxey in an interview with CTV.

Born and raised in the Buckeye State, Doxey said she never imagined a future where she would sever ties with America, but in a political climate dominated by divisive rhetoric, economic uncertainty, and now, talk of annexation, she and her family have reached their breaking point.

Doxey's journey north began in 2003 when she met her husband, a dual citizen of the US and Canada.

Five years later, they took the leap and settled in British Columbia in western Canada, determined to build a future for their children away from the instability they had witnessed in the American Midwest.

'Living in the States is nothing like what we see portrayed in television shows,' she explained.

Our gain is Canada’s loss! Good riddance, you won’t be missed.

[Churchillspirit]

So....they have lived in Canada since 2008. Big deal!

"...Raising the IQ level of BOTH countries..."

Hahaha! Excellent! Well done...:)

I didn’t know Red Green’s son had US citizenship.

[LouAvul]

Good catch. She didn't like what had happened to the USA under O'Bummer's watch.

How do these nobodies even rate an article in a major paper?

A better headline;

“Meet the emotionally immature family that is throwing a hissy fit because their president lost”

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

What do they show on TV? I have not watched a TV show in decades!

[PhillyPhreeper]

immigration lawyers across Canada are reporting a 50 percent increase in Americans seeking to renounce their US citizenship

From 2 to 4?

It’s working!

[Salman]

There are many times someone I didn't like was president of the US, but I remained American. Like most people.

Do they suppose Trump is forever? { snicker }

[pfflier]

It’s not like it was a big effort. She has been living in Canada for the past 17 years. Her husband and children are Canadian citizens.

It's a sucker move to catch low info headline readers. If the whole story is read it's an entirely different matter.

Pass the granola!

'Living in the States is nothing like what we see portrayed in television shows,' she explained.

She really is a moron. Reality isn't the same as Hollyweird? Who'd have thunk it.

"Meet the family renouncing their US citizenship because of Trump..."

NO.

[exnavy]

Well that was the woman’s comment. I am not sure the meaning.

[JimRed]

Somewhat off topic, but how many of the so called celebrities who promised to leave if Trump was elected have actually departed? I can only think of one.

Soon to be the 51st state! lol

[markman46]
