How screwed am I? Found a job in edmonton area alberta. How are the public schools in the area? Is the city proper shitty like other big cities or a little better? Is it a good choice?
Moving to canada

Also would like to know about how other alberta cities are like calgary if any user knows.
calgary is filled with horny sluts but im from sask
I know if you go far up north like down to Fort Mcmurray there ain't too many chink, but there is literally nothing to do.
alberta is the most based province but the progressiveness will still suprise you
you're screwed
Edmonton is fine as long as you stay away from the drugs and retarded people.
>calgary is filled with horny sluts
nice.
I expect the cities would be kind of progressive
Alberta is the Texas of the North, we're the most conservative and based of the Canadians. That being said, we still have our lefty eggos. Join a gun club, meet some Canucks and try to send your kids to a private Christian school that isn't going to go in for all the gender bending queer shit the public's have started indoctrinating kids with.
Edmonton is ok, though I never liked it much. Lots of homeless and more run down than Calgary. My old stomping ground was Red Deer which is a decent small sized city.
Calgary is fine, its wealthier and more upscale than Edmonton, but smaller in terms of a cultural scene. Both are decent choices. Lots of small rural towns around too if you want a smaller community feel while living closer to a big city.
Maccer's is weird, it's a tiny community once you remove the rig pigs and the hookers. Also it's artificial, there literally is nothing up there except for bars and hotels for the above reasons.
>using based unironically
as long as you avoid the festering wounds in this country that are BC and Ontario then you should be fine
BC outside vancouver looks nice
Heard it was really conservative. Seems quite relaxing in the small cities
I lived there for 2 years; didn't like the large city, the cold windy winters, or all the somalians. Moved to a small town in BC and don't regret it. You should have the option of catholic school paid by the province though.
better than USA in almost every respect, actually. Edmonton is cold as balls but you get chinooks sometimes.
I like the cold and snow
I've lived in Edmonton and Calgary
Edmonton
>Not called "Redmonton" for no reason - plenty of fucking commies
>Beautiful, reminds me of Saskatoon (cold, bridges, no real downtown)
>Lower cost of living, lower average income
>Lots of homeless but mostly seem to stick to themselves
Calgary
>I lived downtown so maybe I'm biased but holy fuck are there a lot of crackheads
>Seriously so many fucking crackheads, I was often yelled at by homeless retards for wearing a suit
>Bigger city with all that entails
>Way less of a shithole than basically any similarly sized US city
>Stampede is either love it or hate it but you're stuck with it either way lel
>Generally way more conservative than Edmonton, and vocal about it
How screwed am I in Canada if I don't speak French?
Nobody speaks French except Quebec (inb4 "muh acadians" or Ottawa). I've gone to Quebec many times and never had a problem in a metropolitan area, everyone speaks English. My French is dogshit, can't carry a real conversation. You will be fine.
just don't live in quebec, and some of the immediate areas in ontario and nb, but there's no chance you'd move to nb anyways
Edmonton is nicknamed "REDmonton". Guess whose party is red? Here's a tip: It's not the Conservatives.
Liberals lol. Ill live in the surrounding areas anyway
Outside of Quebec? Totally fine.
Within Quebec? You had better be either in Montreal or the Gatineau area, because otherwise you're super fucked.
>St Albert
Good, white people
>Stony Plain
Shithole
>Spruce Grove
Shithole
Also they will all be full of liberals, but if you live in Spruce or Stony there are probably lots of rednecks as well. I haven't been around there much lately but I doubt it has changed.
You're correct in informing the conservative about where to avoid you. Also you're a disillusioned sinner invading my country. Don't think we can't see what you're doing by driving Redpilled people away from the areas your kind has festered.
>Found a job in edmonton
Lmao you poor bastard.
Edmonton is a fucking shithole. If you're not pushing off the bums you'll be drowning in retarded lolberals, low IQ white trash and the imported "minorities" that miraculously appeared out of the blue (chinks, mudslimes, pajeets, the works)
Not to mention it's boring as fuck, but that's just me.
But hey it's inexpensive so I guess there's that.
Quebec city is prob the nicest city on this continent
>inexpensive
Relatively. Real estate is still bubbled out the ass, but it's not as atrocious as Calgary. Average price of a new single family house was 680 in Calgary vs 605 in Edmonton, and cost of living is 10% higher there as well.
Hopefully things can improve. It does seem less expensive than other parts of Canada.
Edmonton is alright, it's a decent city, but Calgary is a hell of a lot better. Edmonton has better work options though, especially in the nisku leduc area. Obviously, even with the economy the way it is, fort McMurray or grand prairie are the places to be for money. Lot of fly in fly out jobs here in the Mac right now too at fort hills and kearl. But there's sweet fuck all to do in fort mac, it's definitely not trashy like it used to be, but gp. Is def. Trashy.. my advice, move to Calgary and try for fly in fly out with the sites.
Hows Calgary demographics?
Be prepared for COLD like you won't believe.
chinks are better than niggers I guess
>How screwed am I?
dont do it
Avoid North Edmonton like plague and try to not stay too long in downtown, it fucking sucks.
Also this pretty much sums it up
If anything
send your kids to Catholic school vs. public
Calgary is white collar, nice size, pro sports.. NHL/NLL/CFL etc..
Calgary is the "nicer' of the two.
Rent prices aren't like Van or TO.
The only problem I have with Calgary/Alberta in general.
There's a lack of good lakes, Sask and Man have a ton of nice lakes, same with BC/ON etc..
Young, there was lots of cash flowing around when oil was good.
Fun place if you're under 35.
Rent is actually decent unlike Toronto or Van.
Still have pro sports as well.
Ill look into calgary. Seems better than most US cities
got a problem, basedboy?
too many muzzies in Calgary
too many chugs in Edmonton
That said, Whyte Street is pretty cool if you like blues
I would compare it to the 1-3 million cities in the US.
Doesn't have the heritage/architecture because it's just younger overall.
Like Texas north, big trucks, very conservative. Only one sales tax.
The major difference is that in the US you would get paid 30-60% more, and housing is 1/2 the price in those same size cities.
I've looked, you're still getting nice place for 250-300K
Calgary houses are 450k+ etc..
Rent is still "good" comparable to TO or VAN
Can rent a nice place downtown/close to stampede grounds for 1100-1400
Edmonton was okay in early 2000, but the city has been undergoing a pretty liberal shift over the past decade or two. I wouldn't know the status of the schools now, but it's probably not good. The major NDP rise in the 2015 election was predominantly Edmonton based. That's where the biggest upsets were, that's where the Academia degeneracy would be most concentrated. That being said, don't feel too bad because the people are still predominantly conservative. The down to earth blue collar, likes nature and going fishing, camping on the long weekends type of people. It might sound a bit weekend warrior-ish, but it's the safest place for good people sick of the excessive faggotry to escape to. So, yes. Edmonton's a good place to be. You'll find good people there.
I got a joke for you.
>Why do all the Trees in Alberta point towards Calgary?
>Because Calgary sucks!
Not true. There's plenty to do, but you have to have a job that can afford the things to do. There's a huge range of off road recreational vehicle paths and trails to explore north of Fort Mac that's effectively untouched by the reaches of civilization. When you're up at 6 lakes around solstice, the darkest it gets at night is eternal twilight as the glow of the sun continues in the northern sky. But to get all that, you have to have a job that can afford the gas in the quad, the quad itself, the truck to haul the quad, and all the beer you'll be drinking with your buddies.
100% accurate here
Love that outdoors stuff.
Why would you get on a sinking ship?
This country is not doing so good either.
Good GDP growth, record low unemployment, your dollar is worth something. your moving from greenish grass to dead grass bud.
Oh right, and one thing to think about, all the hardcore Edmonton hate being spewed here is being done by people who grew up in Edmonton. It won't be as bad as they say it is, but any kids you have will grow up with that malaise of feeling trapped like they did. That's the sort of place Edmonton is. Good to see from the outside, utterly hopeless and disgusting when you know nothing else.
False information.
Was in BC - prices were good and cheap, depending where you were - but they didn't reach overly-expensive levels as shown in the picture.
Calgary will probably also have outdoorsy options, but it'd be a 2 hr drive into the foothills vs. an hour drive out of Edmonton in any direction to find any space that's decent. You'll seriously need a car. Public transit in Alberta is shit.
FUCK OFF WERE FULL
I mainly mean demographic wise. Most US cities are violent 3rd world no go zones especially if your white and its spreading to the suburbs and rural areas.
Oh yeah didn't think of it that point, which is doubly stupid given I'm an outdoor guy. Also I now just realized how eternal twilight must be amazing for fishing, definitely gotta pay a visit once. That far up north the fish must be either massive or great fighters.
Demographic wise we have laws stopping areas from being "too white" so good luck with that.
>in edmonton area alberta
lmao you poor bastard
I'm from Fort McMurray if you are looking for work, come here, big money, long shifts, sadly we get fucked the most by the government with taxes
>I'm from Fort McMurray if you are looking for work, come here, big money, long shifts
Doing what?
Putting out fires or building flammable buildings?
also from sask
here aboot you from?
Lol Maybe when i get settled i would be able to go somewhere else.
I hope you like living among both east indians and philipinos
Can confirm I’m in St. Albert. White people everywhere and it’s beautiful.
working as a power engineer?
>edmonton
prepare for a fucking hellhole garbage oil city with no culture and 9 month winters. I live here, i wish i was dead constantly.
Canada is the shit. Had a wonderful time in quebec and Montreal while on vacation. Splendid country.
I remember a buddy of mine dipping his fishing lure into a lake from the seat of his quad and catching Pike. Also caught some walleye on that trip, amazingly delicious. Strangely all of the fish were just under regulation size. Like, but half a centimeter across the board.
How are those housing prices doing in Fort Mac?
housing prices are insane up here, but if you have a trade and a deal with the oil companies they will help you pay for housing
what are you gonna do, downvote me faggot?
Ah, so you're not an owner then?
i rent with a few buds
40k mah nigga
Know anything about sherwood park
How can you be homeless in -35C?
In Montreal they flock to metro stations like rats fleeing rising water
It's one of the nicer big cities in Canada.
Ill prob move somewhere else when i get settled. But for now ill have to be in that edmonton area
Canada sucks in almost everyway, don't do it user
It used to be the case that the real estate market in Fort Mac was the business deal of a lifetime. Guaranteed money maker! The get rich quick scheme that will never run out of steam. To own property in Fort Mac was to be part of a very select group, and to be on a rising house value that'll fuel your grandchildren's retirement. That height of capital gains was then humbled by the price of oil dropping out and the fire wrecking all their shit. I was just wondering how far the prices had fallen.
Fort Mac is a oil town then?
How is sask? Is regina and saskatoon nice?
It's not as bad as they say. There's as much or as little to do as you want; it really depends on what your interests are. There's lots of arts festivals and shit, if you're into that. Mountains are only 3 hours away, got a few lakes here and there, and the river valley is way better than Calgary's if you like biking or jogging or whatever.
But honestly, most people on Jow Forums enjoy sitting in their rooms shitposting on Jow Forums, and that can be done from literally anywhere.
yes, it's where we do this
they're smaller, the downtown area has natives and the universities have blacks and poos, some nice suburbs though
most dependable economy in canada
Yes. The oil sands receive all sorts of flak from media, you can read up on it there. If the oil sands weren't there, the entire cities history and culture wouldn't be a thing.
Apprends à parler français comme du monde mon caliss sinon on te criss dehors de notre pays
Yeah its prob still way better than most american cities
Just go to the english areas if you dont know french.
the prairie cities with lots of natives have long been considered the most 'dangerous', but now vancouver and toronto have enough ethnic crime to catch up
but it's still safer than america, but who commits crime there?
Fly google maps around northern Canada... endless frozen bleakness... and if you think "maybe it's not so bad in the summer", you're wrong. the summer is worse because of the bugs.
Let me know if you see a white person in Canada. I have heard rumors they still exist.
Bump
>Edmonton
Really depends, it'll be nice until you turn the wrong corner and you'll see 300 muslims all walking to the same mosque which takes up 4 city blocks
Edmonton is a shitty city. Source: I live here.
lived in saskatoon for 2 years. Fairly nice place, lots of druggies in some areas tho
Edmontonian here. It's alright, I've lived in Vancouver and Toronto and much prefer it here. It gets fucking cold, and never go to the north side. But otherwise it's alright. Been seeing a lot more niggers recently which concerns me though.
From the responses calgary seems like a better place.
