Imagine you live in the US and you have dual citizenship: American/Canadian. You have a job that allows travel. Considering the Christofascism that’s coming…
-
When would you move to Canada?
-
If you stayed in the US - when might you realize you waited far too long and you had a “Oh, fuck - I’m the frog” moment?
I want to stay in the US and I live in a super-blue county in a blue state. But I don’t want to become the frog. I have such dual citizenship and moving is doable for me provided I plan as far ahead as possible. I don’t expect Canada to be nirvana but I fear the worst for the US.
If you’re rich the west coast has rainy winters. Anywhere else you get by. Winters are cold, summers are hot, expect about an 80 degree C swing over the year in extremes (-40c - +40c, -40f - +104f). Buy high quality winter clothing (under layers, outer layers, jacket, boots, toque, gloves) and prepare to shell out for plowing services or a snow blower if you have a laneway.
Also understand that wildfires, floods, and extreme weather like tornadoes and hurricanes on the east coast are increasing aswell.
I live in the sun belt. I don’t own shoes because I dont need them. I don’t think I could find my jacket. Cold is fundamentally alien to me.
If you don’t own shoes for summer you’re going to get chewed by bugs up here too. There is no good season, Spring will still have snow most places, fall is cold and wet, summer is generally humid and buggy, winter is winter.
