Norway or Canada

Well..... Canada is cold and full of bears..... big bears, some of the nastiest bears...grizzly bears and some polar bears too
I ain't skeered a no bears! I can show them my funky bear dance. They usually just have a seat and watch.

I imagine moving to Norway would be very expensive and very lonely. People there were social distancing before COVID was ever a thing. That said, the thought crossed my mind in the past

Benefits to Norway; you can camp anywhere in the woods. No fees like here in the USA. If you can break through the ice barrier, Norwegians are wonderful friends to have; not fairweather at all. Though the cost of living is insane, the social benefits and high paying jobs there help to offset those costs. Norwegians are masters of money management for a reason

As for BC, that would be my choice. Culturally it's already similar to where I live and I wouldn't have to leave the Salish Sea. Southern Alaska is appealing to me too for similar reasons. All in all though, I'm happy with my state and see no reason to leave just yet

Norway or Canada? I presume you really like snow?
Snow is good. I wish we had more where I live. If I move to either I plan on getting a Subaru Outback Wilderness. Those things tell (most) snow to take a hike....and they're still station wagons..... awesome.

I mean, I live right outside of Seattle. Is it so much worse than that? Vancouver isn't BC just like Seattle isn't Washington from what I'd assume

Twilight, not bright nor dark, good nor bad.
Convince me to not emigrate to either. Because either look wonderful right now. I'm kinda through with this place. Totally burnt out.
It's always one's choice, but remember if one expatriates there are penalties with that and those are for a lifetime.



I've learned through like that the grass isn't always greener even if you've convinced yourself it is greener but if it suits you then go for it. For myself I am a proud American through thick and thin , and would only move to a foreign country provided I have the ability for dual citizenship. I will never give up my citizenship here in this country personally.

I would wish anybody who moves out happiness and prosperity for themselves from a human perspective.

In Canada they butcher baby seals

In Norway they like to kill whales

Both are centres of animal abuse

Kind of puts me off as they otherwise seem like good places, minus the slaughter
Well remember land of the Vikings! Valhalla and such.

Polar bears are more dangerous than grizzlies.
They're meat eaters, unlike the mostly vegetarian grizzlies.
They don't hibernate, have higher metabolisms, get bigger
than grizzlies, & they actively prey on humans.

If you gotta go you gotta go.
Of the 2 places you mention maybe Canada only because of the language barrier in Norway. Having said that many Norwegians speak English as a second language.
