I would be curious to hear if the parent to your comment was talking about politics. They might instead be talking about the response to Covid-19, and the much larger death toll per million people in the US compared to Canada: https://www.vox.com/future-perfect/2020/9/9/21428769/covid-19-coronavirus-deaths-statistics-us-canada-europe https://www.vox.com/future-perfect/2020/9/9/21428769/covid-1... Which, to be fair, is partially due to US politics. In that sense, making the choice to live in the US is letting one's life be run by politics, just in a different direction.

All of it. 2020 is a mess, and I'm glad to be in a country with: a strong universal health care system; a strong social support system; politicians who do the right things, listen to experts; a society of people who mostly wear masks because it's the right thing to do- to sacrifice comfort in order to help others. Is that politics? I don't think it should be. I think that if people in the USA consider those important things to me to be political, then you can add that to the list of reasons I'm glad to be in Canada.
