I didn’t know you could get rid of it… like don’t you owe taxes for life?

You can get rid of basically any citizenship. It's just often a bad idea. Particularly if you only have 1.

Imagine leaving triggers a taxation event where they try to grab what they can. But even the US cannot tax non-resident, non-citizens. I mean, until the next unlawful Executive Order I guess.

In Canada, taxation is based on residency. But if you leave, there is a “final return” that includes a “departure tax” that treats property as sold to collect on the “gains” (even if you did not sell anything).

I believe the US has a similar exit tax but I am not as familiar with it.
