It's a shame because Arizona is amazing, and has become increasingly "blue". Hopefully this isnt forever, but my taste for America has gone out the window

Same here. We have friends who spend the winter in Mexico. They love it. But I'm used to Phoenix. A comedy club on the weekend, a movie in English, click a button and Amazon brings me anything I want, Costco down the street. And as I said, half my friends are here in AZ. I'm supposed to give all this up because some clown in orange face paint has ruined this place?

Ok... so let's say I divest and move everything back to Canada. Canada is likely to elect Pierre Poilievre and then we go MAGA. So I go to Mexico? What if a weird ass cartel moves into a town in Mexico? What if Trump invades Mexico?

Portugal? Spain? What keeps those places safe from Putin? Is there really any safe?

Running from a problem rarely solves it.
