Bruce Springsteen and Robert De Niro have announced they are moving to Canada, citing a “lack of respect” as the main reason for their decision.
Springsteen, famous for his music that celebrates American working-class values, shared his disappointment. He said he no longer recognizes the country he once admired. Similarly, De Niro, who has often spoken about U.S. political divisions, criticized the loss of truth and mutual respect in America.
Their announcement has sparked mixed reactions. Some fans see the move as a bold statement against current issues in the United States. Others, however, feel disappointed by their decision to leave.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has welcomed both icons to Canada. He highlighted the country’s growing appeal as a place of refuge, especially with the increasing polarization in the U.S.
Even though they are leaving, Springsteen and De Niro plan to continue their work. They have promised to stay active in their creative and activist roles. Their move has also brought attention to deeper societal issues in America, making people reflect on the state of the nation.
