I definitely require high speed internet access. Other than that, I could use some help! EDIT: Mountains are not a deal breaker. Water would be nice, but sea level rise is a concern.

EDIT: Oh, Come ONNNN!!!!

Canada’s about to elect our own right wing version of Trump. So if you’re looking to escape that by moving here… don’t be too optimistic.

BC almost went conservative provincially in the last election. Alberta and Saskatchewan are batshit insane conservative. Manitoba used to be but they’ve gone centre left. Ontario conservative corporate. Quebec… I’m not going to touch that one. And then the east which I don’t have a ton of feedback on personally.

Yeah, OP would be better off trying to move to Scandinavia

[-] rabber@lemmy.ca 21 points 1 week ago

Coming next there too

Québec: the only province expected to NOT vote conservative in the next federal elections. Also the province expected to vote for a center-left government for the next provincial elections. But go on I guess...

The east coast has some very affordable housing especially compared to Ontario and BC. For example, there are suburbs or small towns within 30 minutes or less from Moncton and Halifax. Gives access to city resources without having to live in the city.

That Pierre Poilievre is such a walking red flag. The way he talks down to journalists is very telling of his personality. Dude rolls his sleeves up and smiles in ads but he's unhinged

Interestingly, all of my heritage on my mother’s side is French Canadian. Unfortunately, the last one born there, according to the family history I could find was prior to 1900, so that probably doesn’t really help me much at all.

Damnit now I'm curious.

Just invent a bunch of racist stuff towards the French Canadian minority and you'll have an idea what most Anglo Canadians think of Quebec for daring to protect the French Canadian culture.

Ever heard of Lord Durham? You would believe the guy is a freaking hero to them.

It you're leaving for progressive reasons, Alberta is north Texas. BC is pretty progressive, although I don't know how they lean outside of metros. I have my suspicions though.

[-] i_stole_ur_taco@lemmy.ca 39 points 1 week ago

Small town and rural BC is very close to Alberta. They got a bulk deal on Fuck Trudeau stickers for their trucks.

I mean, honestly, that’s true for the entire country.

This is very helpful, thank you. I am super liberal.

[-] can@sh.itjust.works 15 points 1 week ago

You're going to want to stick to cities for the most part.

If you want to be near mountains, want affordable living and are progressive, Lethbridge, AB may be your best bet. The landscape there is a bit weird. Looks kind or like Iceland or something. Super hilly with big valleys and very few trees outside or the city, but definitely not a big city vibe like you'd find in Edmonton or Calgary.

Pretty mild climate too.

But the Alberta government is fucking idiotic, so I can't say what will happen in the future with healthcare and human rights.

Don't come to Canada. If I was able to leave this country, I would. We have so many of the same problems as the US. I would go to Europe

[-] ShareMySims@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 week ago

I would go to Europe

Lol, as if the right isn't on the rise pretty much everywhere and WW3 is brewing in our own back yard..

Capitalism is decaying in to fascism globally and rapidly. Wherever you go in the world, you WILL be up against varying levels of the same bullshit, and while I understand less bullshit is easier to live with, without active resistance, it becomes more bullshit real fucking quick, and you'll be back where you started.

How much money do you have?

The only affordable places left are absolute shitholes

If money is no object, move to Victoria

If you want mountains, you're kinda limited. Vancouver, BC, has great mountains, ocean, and forest access, but COL is pretty high for Canada. Calgary, AB is the closest city to the Canadian Rockies, but is in the middle of nowhere elsewise.

If you're looking for good internet, though, you're going to want Vancouver or Toronto. Those are the tech hubs of Canada.

If you want mountains, you're kinda limited. Vancouver, BC, has great mountains, ocean, and forest access, but COL is pretty high ~~for Canada~~ compared to almost anywhere in the world. Calgary, AB is the closest city to the Canadian Rockies, but is in the middle of nowhere elsewise.

Slight clarification

You aren't going to find mountains in any of the parts of Canada that you'll want to live in. BC is trending right, Alberta and Saskatchewan are the right (Alberta is the Texas of Canada), Ontario is a shit-show, and Quebec is... Well, how good is your French?

I'd suggest PEI or Nova Scotia and satellite internet.

[-] Chronic_AllTheThings@lemmy.ca 2 points 6 days ago

You forgot about Manitoba (that's okay, everyone does lol). We're safe from a willfully destructive government for at least another three years.

[-] HelixDab2@lemm.ee 1 points 6 days ago

Oops, sorry... That was an oversight; my mind skips over Manitoba when I'm thinking of the large, southern provinces.

I also didn't bring up the Northwest Territories, Nunavet, Yukon, New Brunswick, or Newfoundland and Labrador. If they like mountains, NT and Yukon might both work, although getting any kind of supplies in will likely be difficult.
