Hi 105/Low 64. Those are some serious swongs.
Iām not sure heās going to regret it at all. Even if Biden wins, etc.
Heās still living in a country where well about 40% of people think Trump is great. That doesnāt change with an election result. Those people still live here. Iām sure there are many such people in Canada also, but I donāt think the concentration is that high.

This is the worst take youāve ever had on this site. Youāre a monster.

Wow, I never really thought you were a weirdo until now. 
I gotta move to Caliā¦
We lived in Camarillo (near LA) for a year and Iām genuinely not sure the daytime temp ever moved outside of 60-90. I rode my bike 12 miles round trip to work every day and was never tempted to drive. Just completely unfair weather.

Camarillo has good weather. Sacramento is too hot except for weirdos like JT.
There are good and bad enclaves everywhere. Iām sure the average is different in BC, but not that different. I have gone back and forth my adult life between an incredibly left/liberal enclave to a pretty conservative enclave (by CA standards) and itās not that big a difference. If itās not about who is in your immediate circle, but about who is in your city/county/country, itās not going to work. Canada is actually a pretty shitty country in a lot of ways. Like when you look at the corporate, especially mining, interests and what they have done not just in Canada but really heavily in Central America, you see a really disproportionate amount of Canadian companies.
What JT has going for him here is family/friends/history in BC.

Now thatās a piping hot take that you donāt see every day!
Certainly not where JT would be going, but there are plenty of those types up here, more that you might think. Mostly in the Prairies and rural areas elsewhere, but there are also quite a few RWNJs and Karens in the suburbs. The government in Alberta is now (again?) aggressively regressive and is run by a MAGA-type, despite its hub having a progressive as mayor.
I canāt disagree when you consider that both the Canadiens and Canucks are based there.
Yeah, I figured it would be bad in those parts, but not as bad, as something like Mississippi.
I canāt get over this. I assume your experience with triple digits is in places with dry heat like Vegas where 120 doesnāt even feel relatively bad compared to 95 in humid AF Oklahoma or Florida.
We had a summer a few years ago with 40+ days in triple digits and it was hell on earth.

Yeah, we donāt have a Mississippi, thank god.
Some friends of mine with a very different political orientation moved from Alameda to rural Wisconsin. They are not conservatives by any stretch, but still very different politically. But the reasoning was pretty similar in they thought the culture in CA was too rigid and materialistic. Like, they donāt want their kids to be on a track of you must go to college now, you must make this much money, you must buy this kind of house, etcā¦
He is in California. Sacramento can get a little humid, but itās nothing like all those terrible places.

Ahh, Sacramento. I would leave there too now that the Rubicon Brewery is out-of-business.
@JohnnyTruant ,
I hate to ask this question, but Iām a product of my terrible culture and canāt help it. Are you going to have jerbs up there? IEā¦

If we felt safe travelling our family would seriously consider a trip to check out places like this: https://www.point2homes.com/CR/Home-For-Sale/San-Jose/Perez-Zeledon/La-Ese-Perez-Zeledon-Costa-Rica/90710755.html.
Unless Iāve been misinformed, Costa Rica has a pretty welcoming residency/citizenship process. Great weather, tons of biodiversity, low CoL, and a functioning democracy.
That said, we probably wonāt leave if Biden wins and the culture wars slow down. Maybe weāll retire to CR, but the urgency would change considerably.
