I don't do meditation.  I drink alcohol to relax, like normal people.

If Microsoft Excel decided to stop working overnight, the world would practically end.

Huh. It almost sounds like they are serious.

Sorry Cape Breton. I have already started saving up for my home in Trois-Rivières. And judging from that map earlier I will not have to save up for long!

Very funny :)

What it doesn't point out is that Americans can't simply move to Canada - there's a whole immigration process to go through.

And it doesn't mention that the reason Cape Breton needs people is because everyone keeps leaving because there's no work.

Hey I know that Island! That is where Louisbourg was correct? An important place to set up shop in EU2.

I am sure they only want Americans who are independently wealthy.

Actually, if you click on the FAQ, it mentions both (but attempts to put a good spin on them).

3 - How do I immigrate to Canada?

The process has changed, some people say it is much less complex, get started here:

4 - What jobs are available?

It is true, unemployment is high here, but some areas are growing, and some skilled workers are in demand!  Our current jobs listings can be found here and

5 - Tell me more about Cape Breton Island

The fine folks at destination Cape Breton would be happy to answer any questions you have about Cape Breton, find them here

6 - What is the housing situation in Cape Breton?

You'll find it one of the, if not the most affordable in North America!  Check the latest listings here

7 - Why are you doing this?

Our population is shrinking.  A slow economy, in combination with out-migration has us on an unsustainable path.  The truth is we welcome all, no matter the ideology.  We have a beautiful island, a friendly people, a rich culture and a bright future.  Join us here on Cape Breton Island!

That's the "spin" part.  ;)

The future is bright ... because you will move there!

Heh I wonder if this thing is actually attracting any legitimate interest from actual Americans.

Americans are constantly threatening to move to Canada when Trump/Bush/Obama/Whomever win the Presidency so best to get your branding out there. 'Murica Island they will someday call it.

If I was going to move, it would be to somewhere warmer, but other than that if I thought I could get equivalent employment, I would consider moving to Canada.

Although not really because of Trump, of course.

The whole employment thing is the root of the problem.  ;)

Atlantic Canada is incredibly pretty; its weather not really that bad; its people are polite and friendly ... but there is fuck all to do there. Which is why people move away, and not to.

Vancouver is nice, but everyone has already thought of that, and its real estate market is notoriously insane. Atlantic Canada is a lot more appealing on the real estate front - because hardly anyone there has jobs*, so everything is super duper cheap.

*Slight exaggeration. ;)
