Any Canadians want to adopt a guy in his mid forties? I can cook and clean and love poutine.

Honestly Canada vs USA is kind of a "grass always is greener on the other side" situation if you're a middle aged white guy like me. Clearly for women or POCs it's a lot safer up here.

But as far as starting a life, not a lot of housing options, new builds are all hella expensive, not a lot of entry level work opportunities unless you can afford trade school or want to go work up north.

I’ve got a job I can do remotely so that helps.

Is your job cool with that though? I’d lose my remote gig if I wasn’t stateside anymore.

Since I’m in a pre-sales role it matters less.

Honestly it would be nice to hand off those customers to someone else.

Sign me up for trade school then

Here in burgerland the trades are apprenticeship based and you get paid to learn, I’d hope it was the same up there in Canada?
