The downside is that the other country I could easily leave to since I have citizenship is arguably worse than Canada.

Cuba?

Those conversations are only slightly more legitimate than the "I'm moving to Canada if Trump gets in!" Or I'm moving to Saskatchewan if the NDP win!"

Which of course, almost nobody actually did. Your conversations with people probably have the best finances to back the decision, but why you and they haven't already done it is beyond my reasoning. It's not like there's been any indicators that we were ever going to go any other direction.

I know many people who have left.

[vengie]

It usually takes the means to leave, aka $$ and transferrable skills.

Which the vast majority of people do not possess.

Don't disagree. Just disagree with people who say "I'll leave, maybe, in a few years.".
Like Yoda said: "Do or do not".

This is a min/max exercise.

The reasons to leave or stay involve multiple variables, but a move itself is a binary decision. You can't half move - you decide when the optimal balance shifts from stay to go. That obviously hasn't happened yet for me. It has for many people I know (who are no longer in Canada).

Well I guess you can half move if you want to maintain properties in a variety of locations, but I think you know what I mean.

What, Darfur? I haven't heard about that place in ages! I'm pretty sure everything just sorted itself out, there.

Australia

So it's the same politically, but has nice weather? I thought you were going to say the UK. At least then youd have a legit reason for being here.

I think darts are $50/pack in Auz.
How the fuck are kids supposed to afford those?!

Australia still realizes its wealth comes from resources and while they have talked up a greener game, they're still filling their boots with yuan.

"In December last year [2019], after six years of Coalition government, Australia's net debt position had more than doubled and was estimated to be peaking at $392.3 billion in 2019-20, before slowly reducing in size.

But this week's Budget shows that figure will explode in coming years.

Treasury is forecasting Australia's net debt position will be $703.2 billion for 2020-21 (meaning a net debt-to-GDP ratio of 36.1 per cent).

And that debt will increase to $966.2 billion in 2023-24 (to a net debt-to-GDP ratio of 43.8 per cent)."
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-10-...8%20per%20cent).

So not only was Australia able to release a budget last year, but their total debt for 2020-21 is less than double Canada's estimated deficit...

They key difference between AUS and CAN besides the weather is instead of a country filled with friendly hoser's you get a country full of cunts, and I suppose all the things that'll kill you

It's called labor mobility. It took me under 4 weeks to get to the United States from Canada using the TN1. It could have been faster if we plead our case with the US Border guards but we went for the pre-approval process instead.

Interesting. Does that require a job offer from a US company? Or can any canadian with decent savings / qualified education just pack up and go then look for a job after they settle in?

TN1 still an employer sponsored one. E2 is where you drop some $ in a business for residency.

E-series visas can be had for as little as $100,000 invested in qualifying USA businesses. With some of those, the visa can apply to all Canadian based employees of that business. Actually looking at that one for my bosses and spent some time with an immigration lawyer recently on this topic.
