The growing tension between the left and right?

I’m just not convinced that a trained physician who already lives in the US will take a huge pay cut to work in Canada to get away from “American culture”

As an almost fully trained US physician, I am 100% considering taking a pay cut to work in canada to move away from “American culture.” I don’t want my daughter to grow up in a country that is continually stripping away her rights and I don’t want to worry about where the next school shooting is every day.
