Why don't you consider joining our country! We love Canadians down here, there is a bunch of y'all here in Buffalo already. Not much culture shock, you will find the currency thing is stable, Health care is a bit of a sticky wicket, but it's being worked out. In any case, the amount of money that you will save on fuel, booze and the occasional vehicle might sweeten the pot.
Plus in winter, when you retire, you head down to Florida, and that heat makes you forget everything.
My late business partner, moved from Peterborough some years ago, his family started following later, sisters, cousins, adult kids, like everybody. They became America citizens after a few years, some went to college here one is a doctor, two are lawyers, three are now retired( and they get a Canadian pension check sent to Florida!)
Just thinking outside the box.
As I get older it becomes more tempting. In about 18 months I can retire on a full government pension after 29 years in the army and six years as a government employee.
Definitely intend to be a snowbird at least. Even now I spend most my vacations travelling in the US. Even with our low dollar, most things are still cheaper.!
Thanks
