Calgary would be a great choice!

Calgary would be a great choice!

International airport, wide range of outdoor and indoor activities, affordable housing, lots educational institutions, diverse population. We lived in Calgary for 13 years and I went to SAIT. The Chinooks give me headaches or I would settle there for awhile. Lots of park development for walking and biking.

    Except for the access to ports...
    It'll be Toronto or Montreal

    They don't need a water port do they? Denver is land locked. Calgary is a Canada Customs location with good rail and air access.

    We're hoping it will be Windsor/Detroit.... The option of a more central, international hub is appealing to Amazon

    And Windsor could use the boost!

    Let's see now -- Amazon buys ads with Breitbart, continues to buy ads with them after it is revealed Breitbart's agenda is white nationalism, then declares: golly, the Trump presidency is so scary we might leave! Not consistent, to put it mildly.

    How about Amazon stay where it is and I'll move to Canada!

    Canada isn't an easy place to move to. You basically have to be a refugee, skilled worker or rich or supported by family or otherwise sponsored. It was easier when we were part of the commonwealth.

    Cass Morrison, I inquired about moving to Canada in the '90s. They mailed me the whole package and it included just what you said.

    It's a shame because there are many people who have lots to offer but don't get the chance.

    You bet. I'd be willing to --- CANADIAN ENFORCEMENT AUTHORITIES: THIS IS A JOKE -- sneak across the boundary in the middle of the night and pick crops or make hockey sticks or do whatever work there is.

    Winter camping is not fun...but it is character building.
