| @vasipi4946 No. No it definitely is not. |
| Alert, NU. It's quiet, not many people to bother you, cute wildlife. Who wouldn't move there? Also, St. John's, NL, so you can chill with the Newfoundlands.  |

| It really depends on your lifestyle and the cost of living you can handle. But if you're talking about Vancouver I suppose cost of living isn't an issue. Personally, I'd love to say Montreal but I am extremely biased. |

I recommend smaller French-speaking cities. Seriously, better speak French. I mean the whole purpose of living in America's Hat is to live a quiet life.
| @MalchikRepaid America's hat does provide the best quality-of-life standards. |

@xtsukimi Definitely the biggest downside to living in Vancouver. Why is it so expensive? lol.
| @Rally- I know it's prolly a silly reason, but the weather is insanely good lol Also, it's because the government keeps raising the minimum wage to keep up with inflation but in reality it's making everything more expensive |

Some interests in mountains? Seems that you live in a certain region within the European Plain. And a huge part of America's Hat is plain.

| @fleurbleue The particularly big issue in the USA is that in the middle of the 20th century they demolished their livable city centers to build high ways, which basically made everything farther away, so you need cars to go fast, but you mostly still commute the same time. The big issue isn't even necessarily cross country travel, but daily commute. But the former could be solved too with some high speed train, Bejing to Shanghai is like 900+km in 3 hours, so if that's a distance you'd try to travel in the USA by plane, you maybe would have taken off from the airport, because getting through airport security is so bad. Winter with huge walls of snow specifically. I'll give you the tornado and hurricane issue though. I basically heard only bad things of the Trudeau government, though apparently that's no longer an issue? I didn't follow the story closely. Because it lead to a system where hospitals are incentivized to pressure people into it, over curing people. I watched one economics video, and apparently the whole market is FUBAR thanks to a lack of supply, easy access to excessive amount of debt, and the government making policies to extend the housing bubble as far as possible. |

To be eligible for medical assistance in dying, you must meet ALL the following criteria. You must: Be eligible for health services funded by a province or territory, or the federal government You may also be eligible if you meet your province or territory's minimum period of residence or waiting period. Be at least 18 years old and mentally competent This means being capable of making health care decisions for yourself. Have a grievous and irremediable medical condition Make a voluntary request for medical assistance in dying The request cannot be the result of outside pressure or influence. Give informed consent to receive medical assistance in dying To be considered as having a grievous and irremediable medical condition, you must meet ALL of the following criteria. You must: Have a serious illness, disease or disability Be in an advanced state of decline that cannot be reversed Experience unbearable physical or mental suffering from your illness, disease, disability or state of decline that cannot be relieved under conditions that you consider acceptable You do not need to have a fatal or terminal condition to be eligible for medical assistance in dying. If your only medical condition is a mental illness, you are not eligible for medical assistance. |
| I had only been to Vancouver, and I found it pretty cool short stay - kinda more eco version of Seattle (but Seattle offers more cash and vibe). And from what I know about French regions, I wouldn't bother: if you want to live poor and speak French, there is France, haha. |
