A while back, we had dinner with friends who were heading to Montreal to visit their daughter, who had married a Canadian. Hania asked if the couple were thinking about returning to the States at some point (they had met in Miami). Vivian said it wasn’t likely; now that their children were both in school, they liked the safety that Canada afforded.
In the ’60s and ’70s, young Americans went to Canada to avoid the violence of a foreign war. Today, they go to Canada to avoid the violence of the United States.
