We all have our own preference in life. For example, I'm glad I don't have to tolerate the lower quality of life and infrastructure in Spain beyond a few weeks in the past. And certainly it's open to debate whether a career hanging around gyms most of one's life is a fulfilling one. My preference is the gym is a place I run three times a week and that's the extent if it.
Yes, all fine, this shouldn´t even be a source of friction.
Problem is when, out of fear or peer pressure, people like you impede others to go to gyms, restaurants, travel etc... Gladly it´s been much better in Madrid than in Canada over the last year. Not sure what went so wrong there, although seeing the Canadian specimens we got on this forum, one quickly learn to expect the most disastrous news out of Ottawa.
I get regular news from my cousin who escaped Quebec at the beginning of the second lockdown btw, he´s now in Switzerland and blessing his decision. Twisted fearful mindset one needs to defend Canada´s covid restrictions, especially 15months into it.
