minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink10•3 months agoCanada has roughly the same HDI ranking as the US, whereas Mexico is somewhat lower. So from the “looking for a better life” perspective, Canadians don’t have an incentive to move to the US (other way around actually, from HDI). Just a guess though.
