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.

Moving here is going to be a long term drop in quality of life. Wages are lower, the dollar is weaker, taxes are higher and the "free" health care is not free.
