Anyone knowledgeable have any thoughts about Canada vs the US when it comes to cost of living and potential of retirement? Any thoughts on police and right to privacy? I have been looking into emigrating to Canada, I have no ideal area picked out yet but looking for somewhere hopefully near a larger city, and not *too* extreme when it comes to weather (I am expecting torrential snow and rain).

I live in Vancouver which depending on who you talk to is becoming one of the most expensive places to live in in north america. Though its one of the best cities in canada.
At the moment we're having a really rough time economically with inflation, gas prices, and grocery store items. But i have plenty of friends living off approximately 50k CAD a year living in basement suites with a room mate. My situation is a bit easier since I'm a hardware engineer but it can still feel a bit rough when you see what you used to pay for something a few years ago and what you pay for it now.
Police will always be a problem. You see a lot less police brutality in canada but theres also a lot different kind of problems we have here, we of course have much stricter bans on guns so you can certainly feel safer walking into an elementary school without being shot.
Theres still terrible things happening to minorities in canada, specifically the first nations people but IMO as a country we're getting better despite what my more radical friends might say.
I think youll have the same right to privacy as any other first world country that you might think so move to (i.e. Britain, Australia, US). if theres something in particular you're worried about might want to google it. -
I've only ever lived in vancouver my whole life so i comment on that haha. "southern canada" is probably like 80% of canada's entire population. about 50% live below the 49th parallel.
If you're expecting a big city then dont go much further than Vancouver, Edmonton, Toronto, Ottawa. You can go montreal or quebec city but those cities are bilingual french/english. You can get by with just english but the other options are far better imo.

you can paste this into a https://repl.it if you want to see it in action.
Spoilertime to make a port scanner.

if you have AC is it reasonable to leave the house at 78f/25.55c? I feel like I'm fucking dying right now, and this person won't open a single goddamn window because of allergies

it's only 84f
"only" 84?
SpoilerActually, that's about how hot it gets here in the summer. 80-85F, sometimes up to 90F.
But it gets a lot hotter in Phoenix, where some of my relatives (not sure exactly what) live.
4 minutes ago, Letgomyleghoe said:I completely agree, I'm even fine at 72f/22.22c, but anything over that and I start sweating.
I don't sweat much, and when I do, it's because:
A. I've been running/riding my bike for at least half an hourB. It's 90+ degrees F.

its in the 40s (F) outside and I have the AC on in my office.. Currently its 78f in here.

Depends on how effective your air conditioning is, and outside temperature.
If it's 84f, and the AC isn't having issues keeping up, then you might be able to have a conversation about it: Alternatively, you can get a window-mounted AC unit for your room, or have a conversation about paying for more of the electricity (I'm assuming this is a house/apartment, and this person is not a parent).
Sometimes, people can set unreasonable temperatures as a money thing. If that's truly where they're comfortable, though, I would recommend having a conversation about compromise.
