Honestly, Manitoba may not be a bad choice for you (unless the no mountains thing is a deal breaker).
- left leaning government for at least another three years
- $120k CAD salary will be very comfortable anywhere in the province
- cold as balls half the year (since you're okay with cold)
- lots of farmland for locally grown food
Manitoba has, uh... hills ;)
But also has a left leaning government (for at least another three years, probably longer with our voting patterns) and low CoL. $120k CAD can be very comfortable here, even in Winnipeg.
In Toronto or Vancouver, you'd be a peasant.
In Winnipeg, you'd be a king.
We call them "Albertans."
Manitoba always gets political whiplash every few election cycles. Fortunately, we just entered the NDP cycle after almost a decade of PC horrors.
You forgot about Manitoba (that's okay, everyone does lol). We're safe from a willfully destructive government for at least another three years.
I know a number of people at NIH and NIAID — amazing and incredibly skilled physicians, nurses, and healthcare workers across the gamut of disciplines — and I feel awful for them.
Imagine having worked your whole life, reach the pinnacle of your field at the most esteemed facility in the nation, possibly the world ... only for a worms-in-a-human-suit buffoon and his fascist cabal, who collectively have negative amounts of knowledge on science and medicine, to tear it all down through sheer evil and greed.
