Canada. Not America?

I remember walking into Christian’s office to tell him that I had made the decision that I would need to make a move away from Denmark. While I loved the place (excluding the weather), my family was just not settled. More than anyone, I think he understood my position (having gone through the exact same thing with his family).

When I mentioned to him that the choice was Canada, he was surprised. ‘Canada. Not America?’

I have always been someone that likes to look at the long game. Maybe patience is my secret power? In Canada I saw some form of stability over a much longer period of time. Certainly in the short term America held greater appeal maybe, but equally I was scared of many things that never aligned with how I want to live my life.

My wife, who herself is half American asked the same exact question. Canada offered much of the lifestyle that was available to Americans but with a few more guardrails to help protect everyone.

What I could never have predicted was what America would eventually become. Well actually that’s not true, America is showing the worst of what it can be. All the things that I was scared of, as remote and unlikely as they seemed at the time, have slowly and shockingly been manifesting themselves.

The world has changed. Thinking otherwise is foolish. Even when (if?) a new administration comes into power, can you put the genie back in the bottle? Being closer to the political epicentre of the fallout is unsettling, but every change is difficult and this one is happening on a country scale, which will eventually become a world scale.

The question is how long will the rest of the dominos fall and people start to pivot in areas previously unquestioned.
