We've considered moving to central America but feel the same way about it not being "home"

I feel for all of my Canadian friends. The ones who have eyes and see what's going on are getting out of cities, building homesteads, and filing but not paying taxes. I recommend checking out some of Curtis stone's law workshops to navigate the tax system if you do go back

I can say that corporate tax structure is extremely good, even better than USA. Flat 9% on profits.

Alberta seems nice on the surface culturally but still plenty of woke dummies especially in Calgary and Edmonton. Then add on the most brutal winters in the world and summers ruined by wildfire smoke

To me the biggest issue is cost of living for non-bitcoiners, I don't see how they make it work, but I don't feel it as much given how cheap things get priced in sats

Rural Ontario is still conservative and probably what you're looking for culturally, if you can afford it

How’s the hockey down there? That’s the big question.

Leaving Canada: The Pros and Realities

Leaving Canada can be a valuable experience. It helps you see the world from a broader perspective and understand how other countries differ from Canada in terms of culture, infrastructure, and governance.

However, building a long-term life in many countries—particularly in parts of Latin America and the developing world—can be challenging. One of the biggest obstacles is income. In many of these countries, wages are significantly lower than in Canada. While the cost of living may also be lower, the trade-off often means accepting a lower standard of living. Most Canadians aren't looking to go backward in life; they want to move forward, and that becomes difficult when local wages can't support a comfortable lifestyle.

Unless you can secure a well-paying remote job, it's hard to achieve financial stability in these countries. Even with remote work, it may still feel like you're merely "hiding out" rather than settling into a true home. That sense of belonging can be hard to find when you're living in a country whose economic and social systems are fundamentally different from what you're used to.

Cultural differences can also pose challenges. People in many developing countries often expect more from their governments—looking for systems similar to those in Western nations. Ironically, many foreigners who leave countries like Canada often do so in search of less government involvement. This ideological clash can make integration difficult, especially if you're raising children. Do you really want your child growing up with a third-world passport and facing limited opportunities?

In the end, while traveling and living abroad can be enlightening, making a developing country your permanent home is rarely easy—especially if you're used to the infrastructure, security, and opportunities found in a country like Canada. There's a reason why billions still aspire to move to Canada, not away from it.

That said, Canada has its issues too. Many feel that the country is overly centralized, with government involvement in nearly every aspect of life, regardless of the province—even in places like Alberta. For those seeking real change, options feel limited within the current system.

One alternative path is financial independence. Saving and investing in assets like Bitcoin offers a potential way to reduce dependence on traditional systems and institutions. It’s a slow process, but for some, it represents a meaningful path toward personal sovereignty and long-term change.

The fiat system has destroyed a sense of community and opportunities in almost a countries but don't give up many of us are fighting towards not making only Canada a great country but the whole world.
