My mother moved from Ontario to Alberta a few years back because she said it was the "last place in Canada that respects my freedom". I probably don't need to tell you she dove head-first into the barrel of pig shit that is internet conspiracy theories over the course of the pandemic.

She's chronically ill with a leukemia that is successfully managed by medication -- but it requires regular care from experts or she could have a stroke or heart attack. She was also showing signs of dementia before I had to go zero-contact with her. As much as I don't wish her harm... I suspect she won't live long enough to regret her decision for very long.
