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!!!!

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

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.

We call them "Albertans."
