I have lived all over the world and I agree. It’s one of the better places in the world but it’s not as great as a lot of Canadians believe

At least your country actually has real business competition and your per capita GDP is going up instead of down

What U.S. News believes doesn’t change reality either. These rankings are and always have been subjective BS

I have been to a lot of first world countries for extended periods as a digital nomad. Canada is not even in the top 5 imo

Why don’t you just get paid in USD?

Almost. An increase of 7% is: 1 + 0.07 = 1.07. A further 3% increase is 1.03 times that, which results in 1.07 x 1.03 = 1.102 or a 10.2% increase.

I use voip.ms

I use Google Cloud Build + Google Cloud Run and it’s built in, so no

I’m not technically an expat but I’m almost never in Canada. In Menton, France at the moment

I went to high school in Norwich so I’ve spent a fair amount of time there, although not in well over a decade. There are definitely a lot of religious people there and the community definitely feels split in two in some ways. There is a very similar feel in nearby communities like Otterville and Burgessville. That being said this article makes it seem like there is a war going on but they more or less just seem like normal small towns if you were to visit. It’s not like people are being harassed in public and they’re miserable places.

That being said the closing on Sundays thing is real. I’ve heard of the pressure from the religious community to close on Sundays from people who have owned businesses on Main St.
