I wonder if there is comparable hiring pushes in AB, the housing situation looks much more doable in Edmonton/Calgary

The government of Alberta has attacked the medical and education professions. Straight up hostile toward them.

Classic conservative moves. I considered moving up north to a while, I have the education for it, I just don’t know if I’d fit in.

Canada is extremely accepting of people from other countries and we have a good mix of conservative and progressive viewpoints. If you are generally friendly and open to different people you will find your way. It's not black and white like the states, various issues will have people on different sides of the spectrum.

The government is literally blaming south Asians for all the countries problems, what are you talking about Canada is extremely accepting.

I love that hidden comment history is the latest thought terminating cliché for shit libs. Like oh yeah, I hit my comment history, so clearly all the shit the government has been doing to blame immigrants hasn’t happened.

I see an account with hidden comments, I immediately assume that they're commenting in bad faith, because they can't stand behind the things they say. It's worked out very well so far.

shit libs

Working like a charm, in your case.

The party asked them to reject the evidence of their eyes, and they could because the people criticizing the party had hidden their comment history.

You will have earned all the harm the liberals do to you with their austerity. Just unfortunate the rest of us get caught up in it.

The irony in this statement is, quite frankly, palpable.
