“We were really disappointed to have to take this decision,” she said from her home in Vaudreuil-Dorion. “But we felt like we couldn’t betray our souls.”

Canadians really are on the front line of the resistance.

Because the US government and a large percentage of their people (especially in Florida) suck, because insurance there is becoming unaffordable (and will certainly become even more so under Trump), and because climate change (now set to get Even worse with the current administration dismantling all climate policies and increasing oil and gas pollution and cutting down national forests) will all combine to make living there an absolute hellhole.

I honestly highly doubt it. I think it's more likely that the federal government subsidizes pensioners living in a swamp at the cost of working people via some sort of intervention.

I hope Dale there realizes that pretty much every one of his American friends voted for Trump. Maybe that's why he's leaving. Two-faced liars don't make great friends.

Does that mean I'll finally be able to afford a house in Florida?

Yes but it might be full of fish.

Apparently in some parts of that state, prices have dropped by half already. The same is happening in Texas, and a few other states, though admittedly the trend had started last year. Hard to imagine how bad it is right now after Trump.
