What a silly question.
I know several people who have seriously researched moving to Canada. Most did not. Some did. Why do we treat this question differently than people who research any other thing that is a major life change? Americans are also likely researching quitting their jobs, going to grad school, and the cost of having children. I would suspect that "number of people who do a hard, complicated thing" is less correlated with "number of people who do an online search for a thing" and moreso with "how hard or life impacting is that thing."
- etrautmann 2y agoObviously the subtext here is about the changing circumstances of life in one’s home nation, which is a big question. If there are trends in how many people are reconsidering their country of residence, this is an interesting indicator to discuss.
