I don not get this response. OP wants to come build a life in Canada. Sounds like direct involvement. Also wants to bring their $120k annual income which will get injected into the Canadian economy. Sounds ok to me.

Maybe visit. In practice, probably not as right wing as you are thinking.

Name a left wing issue in the US that you do not have in Alberta. Universal health care, abortion, and same sex marriage to name a few.

On the climate side, Alberta just moved completely off coal ( though the biggest local industry is oil and gas of course ).

Compared to where I live, Alberta is right-wing. I am not sure where you live in the US, but there is a good chance that Alberta is what your local democrats are shooting for.

The UCP and their anti-trans agenda is not great. Does that directly impact you? The problem is that we are not far from the US. Southern politics are dragging us to the right, though it is more rhetoric than action so far. That is happening everywhere in Canada.

I recommended BC but, if I had the remote income to pull it off, living in Canmore would be pretty great for me honestly.

I you don’t mind colder winters, the Maritimes is also something to think about. You might really like Halifax or St. John’s. Both are big towns more than major cities, real estate is cheap, and the people are lovely.

If you can afford that, you can jump in your helicopter and go wherever you want.

You do not really have mountains there. Maybe Canmore would be better ( pretty small but takes no time to get to Calgary ).

A bit over $120k Canadian. Enough but not as rich as you think in Vancouver.

British Columbia.

Kelowna, Kamloops, Abbotsford maybe.

Vancouver Island is great but not many mountains. If you have the money, the North Shore in Vancouver is awesome.

Well, since they missed 24.10 as well, it is going to be 25.04 at this point.

I hate to fanboy but EndeavourOS is awesome.

My advice as well!

I just put one down as I walked away from the couch a few minutes ago. :)

I bought it to carry in my backpack in Europe. Super light. Super handy. And inexpensive enough that I did not worry too much of it being lost, broken, or stolen ( which it never was ).

It is more important what it can be upgraded to. RAM will be cheaper tomorrow ( historically ).

The problem is the non-upgradable trend in laptops. Ironically I have MacBooks from 2012 with 16 GB in them but much never ones that are stuck at 8.

I am running Wayland on my 2013 MacBook Air. Joe old is your hardware?
