The Expat Money Show - With Mikkel Thorup
Tax Base Flight, Fossil Fuel Sector, and Expats Guide on Moving to Mexico
This chapter discusses the issue of tax base flight from Canada, where productive individuals are leaving the country, and how this trend is not being challenged by the Canadian Revenue Agency. It also explores the potential negative consequences of this flight, including economic implications and a weakened fossil fuel sector.

I had a blast talking to Max about his ideas, and I simply love that his focus is all about how to make them work in the real world, not simply in hypothetical fantasyland. As I often discuss, far too many great, freedom-loving libertarians that I run into wind up stuck in the realms of philosophy and policy. This program and my work as an expat consultant are all about taking actionable steps to achieve more liberty for yourself and your family, and I’m glad that Max’s ideas fall right in line with that. I hope all enjoyed this conversation as much as I did!Mentioned in this episode:
