I wouldn’t mind leaving Canada too, but it’s more because I’m just kind of bored here and would like to move somewhere with fresh places and more history to it… or that I could maybe afford a house instead of a condo… but not out of hate or spite.

Any gains I've made on RE in could easily have been way overshadowed (like I'm talking 3x) by my savings on personal income taxes/effective tax rate if I lived somewhere like Ireland, belize, the UAE, Caymans, etc.
That is to say if I didn't live in Canada or own real estate here, and just moved somewhere else I would likely be wealthier by several orders of magnitude. The gains on RE help even that slightly, but my home is my primary residence, I cant sell it and capitalize on that.
