This as-told-to essay is based on a conversation with Jim D., a Canadian who moved to the US when he was 27 and now lives in Arizona between Flagstaff and Phoenix. Jim, 59, asked to withhold his full last name because of privacy concerns. Business Insider has verified his identity. The conversation was edited for length and clarity.
(TL;DR version: Jim lived in a small town outside Thunder Bay, ON. Moved to the Southern U.S. with this girlfriend in his 20s, has moved around the U.S. for the next three decades. Notes the U.S. has great road infrastructure, better weather, and more advanced culture than most of Canada, that the major Canadian cities are ridiculously expensive, and that the health care system is just as much of a clusterbuck as it is in America.)
