Oh Cannabida… Yes, implementation of legalization in 2018 makes Canada a kind of “Duh!” Moment, when it comes to Emigration from the US. It is close, so it would be one of the cheapest moves. But maybe TOO close.

Moving to BC would be like moving back to Oregon, and though Heat is no longer the biggest factor for my wife, I know it is still a factor. It’s a factor to me too, I don’t want to move to the Great White North! Maybe the Eastern Seaboard of Canada.

All that having been said, Canada does score good marks it our 4 early categories. Their Current decriminilization, and Medical programs, give them an B+ grade already, full legalization will put them right up there with Spain and Uraguay.

Healthcare, is Universal, and definitely better than the US, There is talk of waits, but I have found them better than denials. The social safety net gets high marks as well.

As to Education, it is good, but no real difference than a US education. I suppose if we were to move to one of the French speaking regions, there is a chance of them needing to be bilingual. So education gets a decent grade.

Then there is the Cultural and Adventure category. Though culture, scores only fair marks, adventure knocks it out of the park!! I am not afraid of the cold, I just like to VISIT it, not live in it. Snowboarding, skiing, camping, climbing. Yeah, the Wilderness areas would be nothing but adventure.



Canada stays up toward the top of the list, despite the weather, and proximity to the US. It really does cover all of the initial 4 bases quite nicely. We also know it’s going to be in the top 5 when the financial, actual cost to go matter is factored in. So Canada stays in, like it or not…
