Hello! I am living in America currently, I am a Canadian citizen, but have not been there since I was 5. I am currently in the works of moving back to Canada. I have considered Alberta because of the large amount of work going there, but for a moment I stopped and thought about how much I wanted culture in my life and beauty, not to say Alberta isn't beautiful or doesn't have culture, but I want real culture. I have lived in a place that has no culture what so ever for 25 years, and I need a change.
I was wondering how hard is it to get by in Quebec, I obviously do not speak French, but I fully intend on learning it if I move there as I think if you are going to move a country that speaks a different language that you should show enough respect to learn that language. So I was wondering how work was there, rent, things to do? Any information that you could give me I would be most grateful for.
Before the time of Trudeau, all civilization was in Quebec, with the rest of Canada being a Calvinistic form of culture-torture endured because those there all felt like somehow it was penance for something they could have done better or had done wrong in a previous life.
Trudeau - Canada's last great prime Minister (able to do so because he had vision) - implemented Pierson(also had vision)'s dream of Canada to live up to itself by doing things like force bilingualization of cereal packages, to the disgruntlement of Albertans confused about turning boxes around.
Trudeau reached out to Anglo-Canada.
The old depressives reminiscing about the days they were shot at at Dunkirk hated the intrusion Trudeau did into the way their perception of hell on earth was going to be for them to suffer, in order to add steel to the hand of God in order to strangle Lucifer, in order for them to get to Heaven.
That might sound sad, but that's how people coped before the days of Prozac. I know first-generation Chinese with very sophisticated attitudes towards the management of depression. They'll cut you off if they see you "tricking the system", but they have the best attitude towards seeing how depression is something people go through I have ever seen. As a Canadian with national self-interest, I recommend learning this in order to maintain borders of self-determination in the next round of history.
Anyway, culture and civilization are like soap and a shower. Once heathens learn what it's like to be clean, they don't want to go back.
Likewise, once the kids of the self-flagellating Anglos grew up under Trudeau's better vision for Canada, they got used to it, such that it became normal to find a good restaurant in Fort Mac-Murray. The genetic studies have been done by Americans showing that a shift happened 10,000 years ago when agriculture was adopted, such that there was some kind of "cull" resulting in today 25% of people today still acting "Trailer park Boys" (the best attitude to have as a caveman to survive back then).
My answer is this: If you go to a place like Labrador City and can add culture to the place and actually do it without whining, then if you pay the cost of the service of maintaining a border against control by others, which in this country *just* means filing so they have something to work with, then you have a business opportunity.
