I am starting the process to immigrate to Canada from the US. Maybe unsurprisingly I find I have no ideas where I would like to live. I do enjoy mountains, and don't want to be in the heart of a city. (self.canada)

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!!!!

Permanent residence in #Canada is hard to obtain, though it's far easier if you take a job, in a field where you're in demand. By government policy, the number of people getting permanent residence each year is being cut back, so even that may not be sufficient.

I'm retired and have no hope of getting permanent status, unless Canada starts accepting asylum claims by U.S. citizens.

My own plan, and yes it involves privilege, is to obtain shelter in Canada and then be ready to travel there intermittently. We can visit temporarily for 6 months at a time without a visa. My choice of location is determined by how far I can go by car with a cat.

And maybe then I can find some way to help people for whom getting out of the U.S. is a matter of survival.

Lol this happens every US election.

I think they are cracking down on it though so maybe it’ll work…or maybe you’ll end up waiting for so long another president takes over. Mixed blessing. Cuz in Canada you get stuck with turds for prime minister for life. Their bipartisan is locked in way harder than in the US. But at least they have a seat system to keep it somewhat in check so there’s that.
