As a Canadian, where would I go abroad to? We do have our first ever illegitimate prime minister; found guilty of major civil right violations. Seizing bank accounts without court order or any due process. Arresting people on charges of mischief for words said online. State media willing to publish extreme lies to justify the government's illegal behaviours...

It's reasonable to wish to leave Canada; but generally speaking its the rest of the world seeking to move to Canada.

Australia? Lots going really well for them. I do have family in WA. Their government debt is good, economically still a powerhouse, despite government's efforts to kill their domestic industry. At least in WA, their driving laws are some of the dumbest ive seen in the world. 1km/h over the speed limit and you get a maximum speeding ticket? They have roaming speed trap cameras? Speed limits adjust multiple times in under a km. Speed limits are artificially low to produce ticket revenue. The only place ive ever been pulled over and forced to blow a machine. Nanny state problems big time in australia. Australia's gun laws eliminate the consideration of ever moving there.

Finland, norway, czech, switzerland, estonia, lithuania, look like great options, but language barrier concerns. But worse... you folks have a nutjob neighbour to the east with nukes. I currently live out of reach for everthing except their ICBMs, im not moving into range.

It would seem to me the only place for me would be to move to the USA.

Right off the top, I'd never move to any stop and identify state. Which eliminates most good states to live in. Do the same again for constitutional carry. Texas, Idaho, Wyoming, missippi, are still options. Long story short, it seems Texas is the place to go.

If you think Trudeau is a problem then you sound like the type who won't do so well in Europe. As a MAGA type I'm sure you'd do alright in the US. Moving for Constitutional Carry is insane.

As I said, I very rapidly ruled out moving to Europe. I could have gone deeper and ruled out even more eu countries using other factors.

As for moving for constitutional carry. It's not that im moving there for it, I know the majority of states have it already and im rapidly disqualifying all states which dont have it. California would be idiotic to live in for countless reasons; but i can make my job easier by ruling it out quickly via constitutional carry.

I likely would not carry, or quite rarely. But constitutional carry is a fantastic measurement tool on how good the state is; how up to date on science they are.

Interesting to see how people filter. From my perspective, that would be a plus point of moving there. I love that you cannot own a gun in the UK.
