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!!!
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.
