Americans start moving into Canada. US is CURSED

Anyone who stays in US is fair game. My brother lives in Las Vegas and told me that his friend who is a medium, the real deal medium, told him that he is being told by more spirits than he can count that US doesn't have long to go. Karma is putting US through cleanse and detox Biblical style.

Earthquakes martial law civil war crops failure worthless money

my brother knows this guy for 15 years and says he is real deal, he phoned me the other day legitimately concerned.

The only place to go is up
What is up
Canada

Besides don't those canucks need more taxpayers

While I would never suggest that Canada is anything less than gorgeous, as it must surely be to have spawned such genius as the great Devin Townsend, musical whizz and all round good egg, it should also be said that there is nothing quite as daft as making a life choice based on the word of a medium.

I highly doubt Canada is immune to most of these things.

I have little doubt that Canada will begin to experience some immigration from the US. What's funny however is that the beginning of the end of the US real estate bust was propelled by Canadians buying houses in Arizona with straight up cash at bargain basement prices for retirement homes. So what we may actually see is a sort of game of musical chairs with elderly Canadians moving to the US to escape the brutal cold winters and because its cheaper to live in the US while US youth and college bound kids moving to Canada to dodge the intractable social problems in the US.

It used to be the case that Canadians (particularly artists and animators) had to move to California.
Computer engineers and programmers moved to Texas or Silicon Valley. But now everyone seems to be moving to Vancouver or Montreal because of tax breaks and cost of living.

Being the good hosts that we aspire to be, let us know how many are coming so we can have lots of cold ones on ice waiting for you.

But... but... but....

US corporations don't pay any taxes. (at least that is what I keep hearing from some people )

As long as you have enough bacon AND back bacon, I will be good with that.

While I and others starred that opinion, I don't need a medium to read the writing on the wall.

Hey Canada, Guess who?

We even have maple flavoured bacon.
All is well when there's bacon and beer

Sharing the land:

Would that also apply for your southern neighbours regarding USA or is it just my northern country you'd be willing to consider 'sharing' with Canadians?



I suggest Nunavut for all those thinking about moving north. Lots of room there.

a reply to: intrptr

Indeed.

There is an awful lot of that going around these days!

Well then....
Maybe I should come up before everything goes sour down here... eh? (I'm trying out the lingo...eh.)

A bit of foreknowledge can be a good thing. Here's a map Americans can look at for real estate pricing across Canada:

ETA: You'll notice Nunavut isn't even listed on that map. That's how badly we need Americans to move there.

Lord have mercy.

a reply to: masqua

You just had to go and confound me didn't you masqua?
I thought for sure I'd be safe with just little hippie tune
from a really great band that complimented Canada. And
look at me now? All befuddled not even know'n how to
answer you. Nowhere to hide.

I've actually thought of moving to Canada. There is less snow and less winter in most of southern Canada when compared to here. I wouldn't want to live in Canada above Duluth though, that area gets pretty cold.

a reply to: masqua

Yikes, those are high averages.
Saskatchewan surprised me, although those are averages. We have some beautiful properties up here, but we also have cheaper property outside of the cities, some of the northern rural properties are more reasonable.

I have a comfy fixer-upper on 16 acres for less than half of Alberta's average.

People generally have to live (or work) in whichever province they want to buy in, for 2 years before they're eligible for a mortgage.
Not easy to get a mortgage here.

Is it really that expensive to buy a house in Canada, or is that just for new homes?
