I found out Dog River wasn’t a real town and I abandoned all my rural Saskatchewan dreams.

unless your preferences differ wildly from the average person's, you can pretty much tell how good or bad a region will be to live in based on how expensive it is. this may break down a little at the extreme high end where things like social status are more of factor than the living experience. but otherwise, prices are largely determined by how many people want to live there and compete to buy property. if you happen to enjoy living out in the bumpkins with nature and very little convenience, then you won life's housing cost lottery. and if you hate living anywhere that isn't a dense urban walkable space with culture, art, character, and stuff going on every day around the clock, that's some bad luck unless you got a stem degree or a rich family.

Handen posted:I lived in Fort McMurray for a summer. My aunt took me on a nature walk near a lake in the mist and it was the closest thing I’ve ever experienced to being on another planet. The trees were only chest high and the ground was covered in multicoloured mushrooms and bog cranberries. But that was 18 years ago, it’s probably an open pit tailings pond by now. Ft McMurray in particular is like a crucible, that 3 types of people deal with. First, you get people who move there to "get away from it all" and give up the rate race, and then move back to civilization within a year because the rat-race is infinitely preferable to whatever the gently caress is going on in Ft. McMurray. Then you get the same types, but who stay and do actually make a living out of it. These are the rarest group, maybe 5% of people there. The rest are heavy industry workers who think Fubar was a non-fiction documentary and are counting the days until their death by alcohol poisoning.

fort mcmurray shouldn't exist. I'm still not convinced the fire wasn't deliberate by an unemployed overextended mid 40s oil field worker with nothing to lose to cash out an insurance policy before his house got repossessed when the oil industry crashed

It's OK, unless you're native or gay or don't own an F150.

Top idea OP, go live somewhere in the frozen north with only a few dozen neighbors, few and expensive stores, no good places to eat, no shows, no jobs, and lovely internet. Enjoy your wonderful new life, genius.

When I was up in the bruce there was a guy who lost his license for driving drunk across the big tourist beach and getting stuck in the sand So whenever he was too drunk to make it home he'd just find a cottage where people were partying and start throwing punches until the police came to pick him up They made a show based on that area called Letterkenny

I lived in Rouyn-Noranda in my youth, then Montreal for 14 years and I'm going back home this month. Bought a huge house for the price of a 1-bedroom condo in Montreal. Apart from the mining pollution, it's a great place to live. Endless nature and lakes, lots of festivals. No traffic. Amazing death metal scene. Fast internet. Winter is cold but the air is always dry, so dress up, buy a snowmobile and you barely notice it. + when the climate wars come we'll all be laughing.

Rural Alberta would suck for goons. Your high-school social group is also your only social group so you would end up getting increasingly isolated and paranoid until you turn some Mayerthorpe RCMP into statues.

I've stayed with my friend in Nelson BC for a bit. It's technically pretty close to the US all things considered but to me it didn't seem to matter, it's still bumfuck Idaho/Montana across the border and very far from any actual civilization. That said, the friend used to live in Dawson Creek before and I can't begin to imagine that.

One of my aunts moved her family to Inuvik for a few years, but it was too slow, so they moved to the bustling metropolis of Yellowknife after.
