@chriswho Oh, but I certainly am aware of the forest fire problems. There were already problems with those woods when I was there, beetles who eat them and also the "regular" forest fires.

And I've followed the news in the past few years, it hasn't gotten better and may get a lot worse in decades to come.

But the challenges I meant, are the real state of the country, how society really is. I've seen a healthy, happy and friendy one, but I've only scratched the surface. Not a solid foundation for emigration plans.

There's a lot of polarisation going on in many, many western countries. I know how it is here, don't really know how it is there. Canada seems progressive enough and friendly to everyone, I like that. But it would take a lot more time to find out what's really what than one, fantastic journey.
