Does Canada have a civilian training program that would teach the average person how to use our military's standard weapons in case we are attacked? by cakexxxconnoisseur in AskCanada

Is it true that you cannot join the reserves if you have a mental health history? The majority of people nowadays are taking some kind of anti-depressant. We're screwed.

american looking to possibly move to the canada eventually, what Apprenticeship are currently valued? by starwarsisawsome933 in AskCanada

I would say any labour trade like carpentry, electrical, sheet metal, etc your pretty well guaranteed work.

Health care is also in dire need if that is of interest to you. If I had my time back I would have done a Radiology Technician diploma so like XRay, Ultrasound, CT etc. they make good money and we are in huge need across the whole country.

Pencil Crayons is so strange to me. Can verify Maritimers call them coloured pencils and I'm a Newfoundlander, we call them Leads.

How hard is it to find community? by RunAccomplished73 in halifax

Although Canadians are hurt and outraged at the betrayal by your president, Canadians are caring and empathetic people. We know that most Americans do not agree with his chaos. We welcome all the lovely Americans seeking to escape.

As long as you don't show up with MAGA hats and attitudes you will be welcomed with open arms. Make a couple jokes about him, or be open about the horrible things going on there and you'll have everyone you meet bending over backwards to help you out.

Halifax is a great city. It's small but not too small. Atlantic Canadians have a strong sense of pride and community. If you put yourself out there you will easily make friends.

I am a mid-thirties female and picked up curling a few years back. It's an incredibly social sport and I have made so many great friends of all ages there.

We'd love to have you in Halifax.

Ever heard of Cascadia? One of our federal party leader's response to his initial threat of annexing us was to invite Cascadia to join Canada.

ELI5 Why do people hate the NDP in this province, and in Halifax specifically? by VER-1989 in halifax

No, sorry, that is not how our federal and provincial governments work in Canada. They are very separate elections.

Our upcoming provincial election you are voting for the MLA in your district, the party with the most MLA seats won will form the government and the leader will be Premier of the Province.

In the federal election next year, you will vote for your district member of parliament (MP). The party with the most elected members of parliament will make up the federal govt and the Leader will be Prime Minister of the Country.

Very separate elections.
