Good explanation from the author on how to move from the US to Canada, along with a reason that I think most, if not all, of us would agree with.

Though I think the author is a bit too nervous on a couple of minor points. FWIW I'm from the US originally and I'm fully into the buy Canadian / buy anything but US brands idea, and I don't have the same reaction to seeing the Canadian flag everywhere - I think it's great!

They're still an American citizen. Nowhere in the article is it mentioned if they voted in the U.S. election.

If they didn't vote, then I'm sorry to say, they're a coward. Moving up here and then refusing to do your civic duty as an American citizen to keep this guy out of office to the best of your ability as someone abroad would make me furious if they're sticking around here, so I'm really hoping that that isn't the case.

It's quite easy to vote from abroad, and I agree with you...it would have been good for the article to make that small point. I'm also really hoping that they still voted. I don't think it's fair to assume they didn't, most Americans I know in Canada did vote.
