Anyone ever been to EDMONTON CANADA?
Or know anyone who lived there? Supposedly they will be recruiting in Clevo for Law Enforcement job openings next month. Moving out of the country
seems pretty drastic, but if the pay is good? Who knows.

It's famous for a gigantic mall.

I heard Canada was nice.
I was in Windsor 12 years ago and everything there seemed ok.
Everyone smoked weed.
seriously.
I had this 80 year old granny pass a bong to me.
It was strange, and I was there for a funeral of all things.

Edmonton is ok and depending on what you are going into their economy is very good, but has experienced a drop in the last few years as gas prices
have dropped. That being said they have enjoyed some the of the best times Canada has seen for a few years so it is a wealthy city and Alberta is a
wealthy province. It is cold as hell there in the winter and they summers while nice are not that long. If the price makes sense then I say go for it
as I am sure that there will be many things there that you will find to be nice.

Clevo, I had some friends from college who were from there. Goofy dudes. It is wicked fucking cold there in the winter. There is going to be a
culture shock too. Canadians have always been very nice and inviting unless you are a US born hockey player trying to earn a spot.
For sure keep an open mind but look at the population trends. If they are on an up-tick, law enforcement is a good thing to be in there.
If I were a single dude, I'f for sure consider moving there.

Yup, much cold and a big mall. Wages are wayyyy higher out there than any other part of the country, but houses are as well. Chris is right, if you
were single I'd say go for it for sure. In your situation, I'd say do some research about the wages/housing market first. I will say I was considering
it myself before I landed a government gig. Electricians make a lot more money out there than here.

I am looking it up online and apparently its far north enough that is gets the summer solstice effect. Where its daylight all day long for over a
month and equally night during the winter. That shit would be intense. Plus I read that it leads all of Canada in Domestic Violence against women.
What the fuck is up with that?

My friend and her boyfriend moved from New Zealand to round that part of Canada and they really loved it there, got good jobs pretty easy too. the
only reason they even left is because her mum got ill so she wanted to be back home.

had all the advantages (plus more. like healthcare) of the US but few of the drawbacks, aside from the accent and being colder.

I'd bring up the hardcore scene and leaving the US Cleveland etc, but that shit is about played out all over the place. Shit bands are passing over
Celvo all the time anymore. Maybe Edmonton has a thriving YOUTHCREW scene?

The only places that I've been up North are Toronto,Winnipeg,and Montreal...I enjoy myself when visiting (long since gotten over the French thing...I
just ignore it,until they realize that I speak New York.)...I really like the Canadian paper money!!!
It's color coded,and really friggin' neat...way better than our greenish hue for all bit...And,I will always be indebted to our Neighbors From The
North for the BEST EVER comedy show/troupe, SCTV....
I realize I've offered nothing to this thread other than my likings...I've never been to Edmonton...BUT,if you listen to Stompin' Tom Connors,you'll
learn ALL you need to know about CA - NA - DA in a Bud the Spud minute...
Just don't bring up Tillsonburg...
Will learn to Tap Dance,eventually...Will have you broads Hula,definitely...Trust me,you'll see.

Never been to Edmonton but I know it's cold as shit in winter and the Oilers suck balls but if you don't watch NHL then that won't matter. CFL team is
called the Eskimo's fod good reason though haha.
A lot of people ask me what kind of music I like. I love "soul music". My "soul music" isn’t a style, genre or niche. It’s music that is genuine. It’s
a painful lyric, a dirty bassline, it’s a harrowing vocal, it’s feedback, it’s an anthem, it’s a love song, it’s anarchy. I’ve got my personal
favourites but in the end it doesn’t matter who or where it comes from... so long as it’s good and it's real.
