Oof. Wish I'd remembered this before I ordered something the other day with Canada Post shipping.

Honestly, Manitoba may not be a bad choice for you (unless the no mountains thing is a deal breaker).

  • left leaning government for at least another three years
  • $120k CAD salary will be very comfortable anywhere in the province
  • cold as balls half the year (since you're okay with cold)
  • lots of farmland for locally grown food

Manitoba has, uh... hills ;)

But also has a left leaning government (for at least another three years, probably longer with our voting patterns) and low CoL. $120k CAD can be very comfortable here, even in Winnipeg.

In Toronto or Vancouver, you'd be a peasant.

In Winnipeg, you'd be a king.

We call them "Albertans."

Manitoba always gets political whiplash every few election cycles. Fortunately, we just entered the NDP cycle after almost a decade of PC horrors.

You forgot about Manitoba (that's okay, everyone does lol). We're safe from a willfully destructive government for at least another three years.
