Honestly, I can’t give you the info you need as I haven’t lived in Alberta… But it does have a reputation for being the most right wing Christian part of Canada, so compared to Oregon I’d say it might be a downgrade
Corruption here (Canada) still happens federally and especially at the provincial level (like Doug Ford, which has many blatant examples and faces no consequences). Municipally (county level) I have not noticed as much, and my municipality seems to have a great local government that functions well… I’ve even spoken up and had a small issue resolved with little effort.
However I think you’ll find if that kinda stuff grinds your gears you’ll still have a better time in Canada than the US, despite the problems (and we do have problems).

As an Ontarian I also gotta say the bit about the premiers is also spot on.
Lol apparently having AC in your car is a privilege and not a basic feature… It’s 2023 and it’s just getting hotter, I want AC sorry
At a similar pay scale, I’ve been required to go into homes where folks had COVID. Coworkers have been shot at. I’ve seen things I really would have preferred not to. No job is perfectly sane in that sense.
American? Because this is not normal up here in Canada.
I’d like to second what Veraxus said. I have a steam deck and the ease of use factors are off the chart. At this point my gaming PC sits nearly entirely unused, I do everything on my steam deck, even playing Caves of Qud lol
FWIW the Canadian supreme court made piracy laws unenforceable on purpose, so you also don’t need a VPN in Canada.
Creepy story! Do you still have the recording?!
