Bye Canada



I was born in Calgary Canada some 38 years ago

I never thought we'd move

We love Canada

We love the weather (okay no we don't)

We love the taxes (okay, not really)

We love the federal government and how um.... (uhh okay nevermind)

Celine Dion?

We love the healthcare (maybe that's because we know like 30+ doctors and medical professionals, otherwise probably not so much)

Really, when you look at the above list some may wonder what we really love about living here

I can't explain it, there are many things

We love feeling safe

We love breathing clean air

We love the long list of memories we've built

We love the schools

We love Banff and Lake Louise

The people are friendly

The streets are clean

The new mayor of Calgary, Naheed Nenshi, is awesome

Canada is simply beautiful

If you asked me two months ago if we'd leave Canada I would have told you there's no way we're moving...

We love our friends and family

We love my mother

Our friends are something special

We're going to miss them dearly

I don't know what it's going to be like without them

We'll figure it out

This was a very difficult decision

I've been working from home for almost two years now

It's impossible to be a change agent from home

So, we'll miss you Canada

We'll still watch hockey I promise

In fact, I promise to jump on the Flames bandwagon whenever they make the playoffs

Maybe one day I'll buy a hockey team down south

Yeah seriously

We might come back eventually

Who knows

Maybe not

Time to pack

Anyone got a truck I can borrow? jk.
