ummthatguyI don't want to live on this planet anymore
MagisterCanada next PM in a couple of months is a mini trump/Vance…
Hmm, can’t exactly go south either. So…
PalmTreeIsBestTreeIt’s how I am feeling these days…
This is fine.
lol, Canada? you haven’t been following the news, have you?
Beginning to get the picture.
I hope enough Canadians with two braincells to put together will know better. An election is coming here soon, and Moneybags Musk is going to dump loads into bringing American foot-kissers into our Parliament.

That’s a shitty flashlight
IninewCrowI was born and raised in the wilderness … if I saw any of you guys wandering around my area, I’d invite you in to live with me. Just don’t mind the smell, the beaver castors I have drying over my stove or the forever stew on the stove. And it wouldn’t matter to me if you were Canadian, French Canadian (calais!), American, Chinese, Russian or even Irish, I’d still invite you in.
Mighty neighborly of ya, but my levels of familiarity are yet to drop quite to that position.
I can live without either … I grew up for about the first ten years of my life basically off the grid and learned how to hunt, trap, fish and gather my own food, water and build shelter and basically live on my own. By the time I was about 11 - 12, mom and dad were basically treating me like a working adult that could be tasked with lots of things. It was how they grew up and were taught. I thought it was just normal stuff until I got older and realized we live in a more modern world far removed from hunting and gathering.
Which is why I never really worry about losing the grid … or being removed from the grid … or in watching the grid fail.
That’s a truly rare perspective these days. Got a mild shade of “rustic living” as a Boy Scout some decades ago. Might not fare as well, but could certainly survive for a bit. The “be prepared” mantra keeps ringing in my head.
I think most people would be fine. We like to think that we couldn’t survive without modern conveniences but don’t forget, our recent ancestors did it for tens of thousands of years. In terms of a human species, we spent most of not all of our species existence for about 60,000 years living with nothing but our own intelligence. We’ve only had modern amenities and technology for less than a hundred years. So in terms of losing everything right now in our history … if that should happen … I think we’d be fine. Not happy, not comfortable, not easy but we’d be fine.
there’s not
Square metre maybe. Unless you’d like to join the tent encampments that have cropped up in the last decade. :/
Not an avenue where I’d hoped to have common ground, but here we are.
In all honesty, no. Not unless you’re a refugee, rich, or highly educated (especially MDs), and that first one has been closing over the past few years.
Might qualify for the 3rd. Not an MD, but have plenty of specialized training.
Even so, just a topical meme I cranked out. Work and family are here. Gonna make the best of it, no matter how much I have to drink and watch Star Trek.
Best of luck, hopefully this lunacy is over and done with in 4 years time.
Rich is right
There’s a guy on TikTok and YouTube who regularly compares small to mid sized Canadian homes to literal European castles that cost less.
NinjaCheetahI’m curious, what about as someone with a Canadian spouse? I’m not married, but since my partner is Canadian that’ll likely be the case eventually, and it would be nice to both be citizens of the same country (and she’s not looking to become an American citizen so that’s irrelevant). Would it be somewhat viable in that scenario?
Sure all American refugees can settle in Nunavut. Locations to be reserved for the American savages by the government of Nunavut.
Americans will be expected to stay on these reserves and not mingle with local populations
If they’ll let me then I’ll just not leave the house. Now that I think about it Canadian prison actually seems like a great option for a shut-in american emigrant.
We don’t want you.
