I'm seeking citizenship in Canada because I can't in good faith pay taxes in a country and have no say in how that money is spent. The only way I can legally vote in Canadian elections is to become a citizen. It's just a nice little bit of synchronicity that the turning tide in the US is happening right around the same time that I'm eligible for citizenship.

So, if I may ask, why are you still holding onto your US citizenship?
And I thought you had to pay taxes abroad until you were no longer a citizen.
Anyway, it's your choice to find what makes you happy and where you belong. I just personally believe that everyone has a voice and I don't understand those that are upset but don't use their voices. Sure you're not a huge political mover and shaker, but you're still a voice. People in this country take that for granted and if you come from an opressive country, you see things differently.
