We’re documenting our family’s legal move from Canada to the USA in real time.
This isn’t just about how we’re doing it.
It’s also about why we decided to leave Canada in the first place.
15 years ago, I became an American citizen. 🇺🇸
Back then, I never imagined that one day it would become my family’s escape hatch from Canada.
But here we are.
I watched Canada change. I watched the cost of living explode, opportunity shrink, and the country move further away from the future I want for my kids.
Now that little certificate means something completely different.
It means I can bring my family home.
Canada is where our story started.
America is where we’re choosing to build the rest of it. 🇺🇸
This is EXACTLY the kind of direction that helped make our decision to leave Canada easier.
Call it tokenized deposits. Call it programmable payments. Dress it up however you want.
The words ���programmable” and “my money” should NEVER make Canadians comfortable in the same sentence.
We’re heading the other way. 🇨🇦➡️🇺🇸
Every week someone asks why a family of five is leaving Canada for Florida.
We ran the actual numbers on what we keep after housing, taxes, insurance and healthcare. Florida’s 0% state income tax changed the math more than any headline. I’m posting the side-by-side costs, paperwork steps and what the move is actually like as we do it.
What cost surprised you most when you compared the two? 🇨🇦➡️🇺🇸
Minimum wage got everyone arguing, but it’s probably the LEAST important number for our move. 😂
So let’s make this interesting: 🇨🇦🇺🇸
After housing, taxes, insurance, healthcare and everyday expenses, where does a middle-class family actually get MORE for their money: Canada or Florida?
Drop your experience below. 👇🔥
Florida minimum wage just hit $15 USD/hour.
Ontario is $17.95 CAD/hour.
Yet Canadians keep comparing those numbers like USD and CAD are interchangeable. 😂
But minimum wage isn’t even the real story.
Nobody is moving a family of five internationally for a minimum-wage job.
The REAL comparison is:
What do you earn?
What do you KEEP?
What does housing cost?
Taxes? Insurance? Healthcare? Groceries?
And what kind of LIFE does your money buy?
Florida has 0% state individual income tax.
We’re moving there, earning USD and spending USD.
That’s the comparison I care about. 🇨🇦➡️🇺🇸🌴
“It’s all Trump’s fault.” Canada’s favourite excuse.
Our family of five is choosing America legally and leaving that mentality behind. Canadians, are you seeing this blame game everywhere? Americans, what should we know before we arrive?
@JayGenXer Agreed release the deals. Unfortunately the Americans are already pissed off now and in no rush to get back to the table. The trade balance is heavily skewed in their favour. Meanwhile we are closing plants and they are headed down south. Canadians families are suffering
Carney and Ford continue to bash the U.S. and escalate the trade war. Meanwhile Canadians are struggling to afford housing and food and our steel plants are laying off hundreds of workers. Make it make sense🤯
The Sino twins, Carney & Ford, can bash Trump and make headlines. But they’re still going to lose the trade war.
The good people of Canada deserve better.
@lifewitsonduren@401_da_sarpanch I dono Timmy’s… maybe just hire some high school Canadian kids like you used to… not sure why this one seems to be so hard to understand 🤯 but honestly I think they are way past that. That’s not even going to fix their PR nightmare
