This is a great idea. Been mulling this kind of idea by the OP for a while now, both my options, the UK and Canada appear to be circling the drain.
The only snag I would imagine is having a big enough war chest to not need to work while in the USA, or have work one can do with a laptop from anywhere in the world. I’ll go one further on your idea. If you have a home in Canada, if the sale is a large enough chunk, I’d posit buy a tiny non ground floor/1st floor condo in a quiet little town, with low monthly fees. Use the remainder of the cash to buy another condo or house in the USA somewhere. Far north Texas, Alabama or one of the other not completely hard left insane non ass freezing areas.
Then one simply alternates between homes. I believe if one just flies out of the USA back to Canada, even for just 24 hours, you can fly back and reset the 6 month clock. I’d imagine many Snowbirds do this.
I am in the exact same boat. Sadly I have to wait a few years but I will be waving goodbye to the taxes, snow and the astounding level of cognitive dissonance. I don’t really have any helpful advice for you as I will probably just drive down and be an illegal in the USA and go from there. Good for you Novaxnowayever.
I wish you all the best - GTFO of Canada!!!!!
Most Central and South American countries have left leaning gov'ts as well, just be aware of that.
I've been working part of the year in Nicaragua for the last several years. Own property there. Making moves to make it full time in 2022. No taxation on any foreign earned income.
The Sandinistas operate government just like Lib/Dems, but they don't hide it.
Key rule as a foreigner just keep your nose out of politics - remember you are a guest - remember that rule and you won't find yourself in the bed of a black Hilux.
If you own a home in Canada, sell it, buy a house where you want to. you automatically have 6 months of the year to stay there.
File the paper work for and LLC, work for yourself, pay yourself thru the LLC. Thats about it.
I would doubt anyone is going to look for you or bother you.

I am applying for jobs in Florida. I hate leaving Canada but even Alberta worries me. The Maritimes seem so woke, it's scary.
Consider this.

He's gonna slip up and say "eh". A day later ICE will knock at his front door.
And when he invites them inside, they'll "accidentally" knock something over and he'll say sorry. BOOM! Clear case of Canadianism!
