The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.

I read that the cheapest housing is in Manitoba with an estimate of 168k US. I so far got 250k in the bank. Basically I want somewhere remote grow some pot and be left the fuck alone.
The problem isn’t housing though, it’s the cost of living. EVERYTHING is more expensive in Canada, since almost everything is imported. Since the growing season is only about 3-4 months maybe (except for parts of BC), almost all food is imported (usually from the US, and as soon as those tariffs hit, the already-high prices are going to skyrocket). Clothing (of which you need double, since winter), books, school supplies, electronics, tires for your car (again, two sets), just every-fucking-thing is imported and expensive.
Housing costs are the least of your problems.
I just want to buy a house have a couple acres. Grow stuff and maybe have a couple pot plants and resell them. Just living off what I can produce.
Do you think you can produce enough food in a 3 month growing season to keep you fed and healthy all year long? Do you already have a full set of proper winter clothes that are warm enough to make it through a Canadian Winter? Do you have a vehicle that has a block heater installed in it already, and winter tires for it? How are you going to pay for gas, and heat your house? And pay for electricity? And you may want to consider pot plant selling as a hobby instead of a main income source, since everyone grows their own already.
Well the pot would be just for me. I would just build a big green house or hot house and hydroponic the shit out of produce. And hopefully get a business license to sell it to stores or a farmers market/
You're not going to be able to live off produce grown and sold at farmer's markets. Unless you're a skilled worker with a degree or trade, or very wealthy, you won't be able to move here. If you want to live off grid, you can do that in the US. You can't just jump ship because the election didn't work out how you wanted it to.
Is there any contract work for a person who is a certified Traveling Nurse or someone who has a diploma in Cisco's website?
There are visas for RNs, you must still hold the certification, apply for a visa, your credentials will be verified to confirm they meet the required specifications and then you'll have to pass a an exam to confirm you possess the required knowledge to work as an RN. You may be required to speak French depending on where you work because this is a bilingual country.
As for a Cisco certificate? That won't work, you would require a degree in medicine, law or a similarly in-demand field.
What about in Manitoba I looked it up the average price for a house is 168k. Is there anyway I can practice exam? And is avoiding Trump and hatred of what my country turned into get me thru inspection ....?
You can't purchase a house unless you have a permanent resident card or are a citizen.
so basically i have to rent for three years?
Even though cannabis is legal to grow for personal use (under certain conditions), it is illegal to sell unless you get a proper license and there are tons of regulations.
I meant grow my own cannabis for just me and use the rest of the land to grow vegetables and produce. And just sell that kind of like a business.
So you think you can retire on the remaining $80,000? lol Canada is a very expensive country to live in.
Until you need a doctor. And then some more...
Traveling nurse unless I get show or break something I should be fine. Unless Canada doesn't offer vaccines then I am pretty fucked come new covid or flu seasons
Not quite common here. Don't know about Canada, but you want to find out in advance.
