We left Canada (Close enough) in 2017 and I had that feeling like I needed to get the hell out as well. We have lived in Central America, The Caribbean, and now Africa for most of the last 2 years. I don't regret leaving my toxic life for one minute! People around the world don't realize the price to pay for the American Dream. It's sad because they spend their whole lives wishing they had it, when really, they are already living in a much freer society. We do our share to try and tell people that it isn't all roses and rainbows over there, but I don't think they beleive us. Thanks for writing this piece, it's important.
