1. Decent health insurance. Mine sucks. You don’t even want to know how much time I’ve spent on the phone this week with CIGNA customer service, who PROMISE me that the glitch in their system that erroneously says I’m ineligible for prescription coverage has been fixed. But I’ve spent much more time at my pharmacy while the pharmacist talks to the SAME dumb insurance company, who says I’m still ineligible and I have to go back home and call customer service AGAIN! Because, you know, the bigger and more sprawling an organization is, the LESS efficient it is. And the left foot has no clue where the right is. Or if it even has five toes.

2. Global Warming. At the current rate of climate change, I reckon Banff is going to be semi-tropical beach front property in less than 20 years.

3. War. If we move to Canada, my kids will not have any reason to die senselessly far, far away because of some dumb white man’s meglomania.

4. UPDATED FEB. 2: Because, in Canada, they don’t cancel school because it “might” snow.
