Thank you, I will make sure to do that soon.
The US is being turned into Canada with limited freedom, high taxes, multiple cultures and languages, no national defense, and very lousy healthcare. Now I would hate for that to happen, but it is not like Canadians are all dying in the streets or are all destitute and unemployed. Since you are considering joining a commune, it sounds like you would actually do well adapting to a socialized US.
