Congrats. Calgary seems to have more in the way of ChemE jobs than Toronto for some reason. So, even if/when he gets laid off it should be easier to find something else quickly.Comment

Yeah, I'll make a home office. I'm also going to make my own side-business to do some consulting stuff...some of my friends/colleagues do this and it's easy money. It'll double as both of my offices.Originally posted by DanS View Post
Calgary is a bit cheaper than Toronto, but not substantially so. But the cost of living is much lower in general because Toronto sucks. Car insurance is half of what it is in Toronto, for instance."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

Calgary is the centre for oil & gas in Canada, which is rebounding. That's why there's a lot more Process/Chemical Engineering jobs. Toronto used to have some due to manufacturing, but it's not that big anymore here.Originally posted by Japher View Post
Plus we've got more friends/family in Calgary, so if things ever get rough there's fallbacks.

Calgary is colder than Toronto. That's one of Calgary's redeeming features.
Cold & dry instead of Hot & humid."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

Indeed. I was very surprised they'd be okay with me working remotely, especially a couple timezones away, but I guess it's more work to find someone to replace me than just to deal with it.Originally posted by -Jrabbit View Post
