The cold winters protect us from the spread of many different kinds of invasive species.

just moved from Tennessee to Alberta, can confirm it's bluer up here

Hey! Welcome to Alberta! We're not all crazy blue voters here, just a disappointing amount.

Took me a second to remember that the US is the weird one with the red conservative party.

..that is also how I took it haha. really gotta get the us political dichotomy out of my mind now that I'm an Albertan.

altasshet@lemmy.ca · 5 pts · 151d

And replace it with the Canadian political dichotomy, where blue is red and red is blue! Oh, and we have Orange too, which doesn't get the votes it needs.

And welcome to Alberta!

Hold up, are you saying democrats are crazy?

chunes@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 152d (1 reply)

The colors are swapped in the USA. Blue = conservative party, red = liberal party in most of the world.

WandowsVista@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 152d

the us follows the star wars color scheme. red for genocidal maniacs and blue for elitist bureaucrats.

that being said I still recommend people in the US vote dem like their lives depend on it, because it very much seems like they do, then hold those fuckers accountable when they side with the billionaires anyway.

Confirmation that the USA is a hellscape

I'm from northern maine. That blue spot is why I live in colombia now.

I mean really trumps the reason but that blue spot too.

I feel like with climate change coming, it'll be much better to be where there is some blue and preferably at some elevation.

teft@piefed.social · 6 pts · 152d

Nah. Colombia is mountainous. If you want colder just go higher and if you want warmer just go lower. Like I live in medellin and the average is 23 or so but if you go south to bogota the average is 15 because even though it's closer to the equator it's considerably higher altitude than medellin at 1500m. If all else fails i'll move to one of the snowy peaks.

Even the snow won't travel to the US anymore

I’m guessing there’s likely a natural border there in the form of a mountain range with terrain so drastic it alters the weather

albbi@piefed.ca · 1 pts · 146d

There's no mountain range at the Canada/US border. This was mostly just chance and the jetstream may have had something to do with it.
