Canadians come to Florida for the winter and their healthcare. What a load of BS.

Political brouhaha aside, there are some legit lifestyle reasons why people prefer being overseas. And some of it cultural.

For one: not everyone loves driving. US is extremely car-centric.

Food quality: way less processed breads, grains, dairy, meats..

Social culture and nightlife. Activities especially those surrounding high art draw some to Europe.

Extended family and community centrism vs. “enclosed private property” centrism, which foreigners often find extremely isolating and eerie when they visit. Middle Easterners I’ve met in particular note this.

Healthcare: some women are afraid to give birth at American hospitals, notorious for being really unfriendly to mothers. UK apparently is not that much better, but some other places like Korea, Germany, or UAE do not whisk women out 24 hours after C-Section...you are often monitored and cared for for much longer...Given a midwife, prenatal care training, and even at home check-in a few weeks afterward completely paid for by the state.

In Spain, working women get paid leave during menstrual cycle. No joke.

So yeah...stuff like that!

Paid family leave is a BIG draw to other countries especially for women who want to work but also take more time off for maternity...

Obviously not informed, if true. But then, one of my own daughters thinks France is where she’d like to live. She travels to Europe frequently, and thinks it’s wonderful. Yeah, she’s my politically liberal child. One out of four’s not bad, I guess.

Canada is cold. It’s not a top retirement destination. People with very minor criminal records can have major problems crossing in to Canada. That happens often enough with professional athletes, and it gets sanitized in the reporting as a visa problem.

Canada? That's interesting, but definitely not the country I'd move to in order get away from the US. I've heard folks mention the Philippines, Central America, Spain, and a few others. But quite honestly, I don't think there a "good option" for expats to move to.

I'd be interested in hearing what others have to say.

Canada was the top country

Runner-up was England

America is overrun by Third Worlders.

"Hey honey, let's move to a country even MORE overrun!"

Fine with me. GO!

But then you can’t come back.

(Or maybe we should let them back - THEY GOT AN EDUCATION, and now maybe appreciate what they have here)

Does Canada really count as ‘moving abroad’, well does it?

"Canada was the top country Americans targeted when hoping to move abroad"

Canada is ridiculously expensive.

Real estate is crazy high—just for starters.
