Canada

Canada’s about to elect our own right wing version of Trump. So if you’re looking to escape that by moving here… don’t be too optimistic.

BC almost went conservative provincially in the last election. Alberta and Saskatchewan are batshit insane conservative. Manitoba used to be but they’ve gone centre left. Ontario conservative corporate. Quebec… I’m not going to touch that one. And then the east which I don’t have a ton of feedback on personally.

It you're leaving for progressive reasons, Alberta is north Texas. BC is pretty progressive, although I don't know how they lean outside of metros. I have my suspicions though.

If you want to be near mountains, want affordable living and are progressive, Lethbridge, AB may be your best bet. The landscape there is a bit weird. Looks kind or like Iceland or something. Super hilly with big valleys and very few trees outside or the city, but definitely not a big city vibe like you'd find in Edmonton or Calgary.

Pretty mild climate too.

But the Alberta government is fucking idiotic, so I can't say what will happen in the future with healthcare and human rights.

How much money do you have?

The only affordable places left are absolute shitholes

If money is no object, move to Victoria

Don't come to Canada. If I was able to leave this country, I would. We have so many of the same problems as the US. I would go to Europe

If you want mountains, you're kinda limited. Vancouver, BC, has great mountains, ocean, and forest access, but COL is pretty high for Canada. Calgary, AB is the closest city to the Canadian Rockies, but is in the middle of nowhere elsewise.

If you're looking for good internet, though, you're going to want Vancouver or Toronto. Those are the tech hubs of Canada.

You aren't going to find mountains in any of the parts of Canada that you'll want to live in. BC is trending right, Alberta and Saskatchewan are the right (Alberta is the Texas of Canada), Ontario is a shit-show, and Quebec is... Well, how good is your French?

I'd suggest PEI or Nova Scotia and satellite internet.

Are you vegan? I'm looking for a vegan roommate and I live downtown city of a hundred thousand and fifty ish.

Sorry, I don't have a recommendation, but I will warn you against Alberta. I've lived here my entire life here and I love this land, but it's getting more dangerous here for queer folks. BC could be a consideration if you can afford housing there.
