The places to go in no particular order are BC, Alberta and Saskatchewan.

Alberta has the most "American" like culture, slightly more socialistic
but the closest match to US culture. Sort of like Montana.


i remember a number of years ago, when the separatists under rene
levesque were ascendent in canadian politics, there was talk of
alberta joining the US if canada split. i was in montreal during one
of thoose elections...very interesting.

Saskatchewan is prarie like Noth Dakota, but it is a happening place and
real-estate is reasonable still, although climing as they like Alberta
have jobs.

BC is nice too.

But east, it gets pretty bad. While some pockets have jobs, they are
often low end. Remember, you need to make more in gross in Canada to
live the same way as the US as the taxes are everywhere. Alberta having
the least and BC is near the high end.


funny that the canadian economy is in better shape than the US
is...due to its 'socialist' regulation of banks...
