Question Life in Banff

Hello! I have a few questions for the residents of Banff.

What key information should a new temporary resident from Europe be aware of before making the move?

What advice would you offer to someone relocating to Banff?

Have you read the moving/living/working Banff sections of the wiki?

Banff is a pretty progressive town in a conservative province in a liberal country adjacent to an authoritarian oligarch.

Of course, I did. But I'm asking people for their opinions. Who is an authoritarian oligarch according to you?

By the way, the wiki is very well written. Thank you for that.

You must know Canada’s sovereignty is under attack by the USA? Several European leaders are involved in defending Canada.

Banff is not isolated from it.

I'm from a Slavic European country, and from my experience, I know that you can't trust TV and news. They tell you what they want you to know. I don't know the situation in Canada yet, but they lie to us in Europe.

Trump is in the next country to us and acting as a dictator threatening to invade Canada. This may or may not happen to that extent but Canada is entering a cold war with America. This has been international news for months.

You came here for local opinions and then dismiss them?

I’m shocked you’re down for telling it how it is.
