I left Canada for Mexico because I feared political persecution and was no longer safe in my neighbourhood. I was afraid I would no longer be able to function, work, or survive in Canada. Denigrating me for making that choice, as though I should have stayed and ended up in jail or worse, is a pretty messed up thing to do. I have fought hard for Canada and Canadians for many years, at my own financial, political, social, and personal risk. I am 100% happy with my decision. In fact, it's probably the best decision I ever made in my life. My suspicion is that the people criticizing me for making a choice that was best for me and my wellbeing are also miserable living in Canada, but can't or won't leave, and are projecting that on to me, as though it is my duty to be as miserable as you. Well, I don't want to be miserable. Nor do I wish to be in jail. Or stuck in a human rights tribunal. Or impoverished and starving, unable to make a living or survive. Or unable to walk about freely without fear of being beaten or killed. What I did was a risk. I have taken many risks in my life to follow my gut, heart, and integrity. I am proud of that, not ashamed. The Canadian government and its supporters have destroyed what was once a good country to live in. Blame them, not me. I've done everything in my power to fight back and to wake people up to that truth, and will continue to. https://t.co/sB7ZU0wgl4
