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!!!!

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

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.

This might surprise you, but Canada has angry dumb rednecks too.

We call them "Albertans."

[-] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 10 points 3 days ago

You did not read the article. This is WAY beyond being a dumb redneck. This is systematic dismantling of our entire system of government, to maintain the oligarchy and ruling class in perpetuity.

While much less embedded in Canada, the same forces that are pushing Project2025 in the US are also trying to do the same here in Canada. So far they're not nearly as advanced, and they are still facing strong pushback on their regressive plan, but they are still trying. That shit is leaking over the border.

Fortunately, for now, Canada is nowhere near as far down that fascist path as the US is.

But if you're trying to escape it, I would recommend against Alberta.

What’s the justification (yes I know, logic might not be a factor).

But some argue that US was always a Christian stage but Canada clearly never was.

Edit: turns out nope, Canada was founded on similar principles…

Wtf mate.

Almost all our media was bought up by right wing American think tanks over the last decade, so it won't be long before that stuff makes it here too

Not surprising. Canada has a legacy of sheltering shitbirds, so they've been around a while. Canada took in the Confederate leaders after the civil war. Jefferson Davis was allowed to live his life in comfort in Toronto after he betrayed his country. Canada along with Britain even aided the Confederacy by providing them with a fleet and supplies.

If you go to Southern Ontario, you find plantation style homes that were built by the Confederates after they came here.

Yes, USA is in a for a really bad time, and Canada definitely looks better in comparison. And while it is, as a Canadian I still fantasize about trying to move to europe. Grass is always greener.

Just don't expect to escape all the nonsense automatically by coming here because for all we know we're just lagging behind a few years. I have had the disspointing experiences of finding some of my Canadian friends were in favour of the Trump victory.

And then the housing prices.

Many of us are quite familiar with American politics. If you emigrate, you'll figure out why.

[-] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Immigration is exchanging one set of problems for another. If immigration is a vast improvement, those problems are in the background. But if it isn’t, then it takes a lot more work on your part to work through them.
