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!!!!

If you like mountains and your job is remote then why not try and live in somewhere in Alberta? Canmore is right next to Banff and is absolutely gorgeous. That being said Alberta is pretty much the America of Canada meaning their politics is pretty right wing. If you want to live in a province that's more left wing you can try British Colunbia which is on the other side of the rockies.

Yeah right wing is a hard no for me

couple of details though: Canada right wing is a long ways away from US for the most part. Also AB almost got NDP elected last election which is, after 40yrs of unbreakable concervative hold on province is telling. So yeah right wing is correct but you've got to pay attention to nuances. Calgary and South of Calgary are good places to live with decent infrastructure. You go most places BC you'll be surrounded by a lot of conservative minded folk. In both provinces I've been surrounded by conservative minded folk which were persistently calling POTUS45/47 a nutcase. So... don't get too hung up on labels.

No, that's sadly not true anymore (if it ever was).

Alberta's government is just as fucking insane as any Republican. The rural areas and small towns are redneck Christian hives of intolerance. I got called a "hippie cock-slurper" in the parking lot of a Lethbridge store, presumably because I have long hair. (And ignoring the point that I was getting into the car with my wife and toddler.)

Edmonton is a mix of blue collar and academia, and is a bit of a hard city but I love it. They're reliably left-leaning. Calgary is very money-driven and tends to vote more conservatively (for lower corporate taxes), but hasn't been supporting the UCP that much.

Alberta had the NDP and kicked them out after one mandate and now they've elected a conspiracy nutjob... The NDP government was an anomaly, they've had a conservative government in power for close to 100 years except for one NDP government.
