Where would you relocate if you were forced to leave the country: If I were “forced” to relocate, I’d move to Alberta, Canada. I can see myself living in a farmhouse at the foothills of the Canadian Rockies, close enough to Edmonton to occasionally take in the city life. It’s also close enough our children could occasionally visit in the summertime!
