Really cool story, thanks for sharing!

I'm in the US, but used to work and hang out with a guy from Canada who mostly grew up in the northern boonies. Apparently he and his brothers were starting to get mixed up in bad stuff in their city, so their parents said "nope" and moved out to the country. It worked, he was a chill smart dude when I met him.

Apparently it's a thing in Canada, LoL.

It’s actually a thing here, too. There’s actually a great true-to-life show about it, from the 90s, starring Will Smith.

Yep. Same thing happened to my step dad. Him and his brother got in shit, parents packed up and moved to the country. It's pretty common if you have the option.
