Do you think bad weather is a good reason for moving? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Would you uproot your life, leaving behind your family, your job etc if you dont like the weather in a country.

(Obviously theres always more than one advantage of moving someplace but to build a life somewhere, would weather be top 3 factors in choosing where to live).

IT in Canada doesn't pay that great, not compared to the salaries you see in the US at least.

It's incredibly unaffordable in BC, Ontario, and Quebec. Maritimes and prairies are decently affordable.

Really? IT doesn't play enough to rent a decent apartment near work? That's not great.

It'll vary depending on the city, but generally not. Finding something affordable near downtown Toronto or Vancouver will be next to impossible, while in smaller cities like Edmonton, Calgary, or Ottawa, it will just be really, really hard.
