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.
I’ll take better TODAY.
And honestly, alberta left and right may still be in a cultural fight, but at least there’s still a fight both culturally and politically to be had. Compare that to Ontario where there is zero hope if you are conservative. In fact Ontario is edging closer to criminalizing harder social conservative views.
I figure Alberta buys me and my family another 20 years of somewhat normal living surrounded by many people who share my views. Additionally I get to send my kid to a private Christian school and I get to own a house and build wealth.
It sounds like a win to me short, mid and long term.
