Any Canadian's considering moving to the USA? (lemmy.ca)

I'm kind of in a strange boat right now where I'm really comfortable in Canada yet I can't shake this feeling I need to get over to the US of A in order to take advantage of that strong USD. I, like many Canadians, work for an American firm and have a TN visa. Recently, my employer offered to sponsor me for a green card, if I ever choose to relocate to the USA. I can live pretty much anywhere I want as I'm a remote employee, but I do travel to the USA for client work.

It's a tough decision to make. While I consider it, I thought I'd ask the community. So, say you good lemmings?

nope. lol. Not unless my salary doubles, at minimum, and that's just to make sure I don't go bankrupt from healthcare. Actually fuck that, because if I get an injury that prevents me from working I'm still completely fucked. They're also notoriously anti union and worker rights are eroding day by day

That place is a shit show. Let's not even talk about Republicans...
