Things seem to be taking a turn for the worse in Canada.
Papers Please coming soon to eat out or shop
Mobility rights being restricted for unvaxxed (no flying even domestically, no inter provincial train travel)
Forced vaccination for health workers in Ontario and federal employees across Canada or your fired.
I lived temporarily in Red Deer and while it was cold as hell it was still free-er. Thinking about moving the family to Calgary. I live in downtown Toronto currently.
Added benefit that private Christian education is partially government funded. Costs 11k /yr in Toronto, can get similar for $3500 /yr in Alberta. With the push of gender crap on kids is the public system, private education has become a top priority for my kid.
Oh and real estate is still cheap in Alberta. Can still buy property even if only making 40 - 50k a year.
Nice. Which city?
I lived there for 18 months.
Zero traffic, all the stores you need. Everyone except the civil service is conservative.
Houses are cheap. Was druggie problem downtown (in whole city actually). Northwest part of town is the "bad" area. Best parts to live are NE or SE.
