@GottaLaff Originally from Canada. We did move back to Canada at one point and for me the instant stress-reducer was not having to worry about my health insurance, once the provincial coverage kicked in after 3 months. I had lost my job and was on Cobra.
Politically, there were still major issues then, ie the Harper government. And I had found lot of people less vocal and more passive and eventually we decided it was a mistake and moved back. But we weren't in BC :); we lived in Toronto.
Mind you I had so loved Toronto in the past that it really surprised me, wanting to come back and I was in denial for a couple years about it. I hope it's a great move for you. There are a lot of great places and people up there. Generally speaking, a more gentle people imo.Wishing you the best! If I were younger, I might move back again, but I'm tired of moving.
