I definitely require high speed internet access. Other than that, I could use some help! EDIT: Mountains are not a deal breaker. Water would be nice, but sea level rise is a concern.

EDIT: Oh, Come ONNNN!!!!

British Columbia.

Kelowna, Kamloops, Abbotsford maybe.

Vancouver Island is great but not many mountains. If you have the money, the North Shore in Vancouver is awesome.

You could live in the Northwest of British Columbia around Haida Gwaii or Vancouver Island

I wouldn't get my hopes up, you want to come here and still work for your current US employer? What does Canada have to gain from that? You're not coming to fill a gap for us, you want to move to reap the benefits without any direct involvement.

This seems to be a non sequitur. OP is asking about where to live not where to find employment.

There are visas under the free trade agreement with the US and Mexico that enable movement of employees between the three countries. These have been in place since the 1990s.

Kamloops, BC?

It's got mountains around, it's not completely caught in the Conservative trap, you've got decent amenities of civilization around without the big city or suburb vibe of Metro Vancouver, (I still think it pales as a "city" compared to Toronto), but as a day trip you can head there to sightsee or pick up big box stuff.

If you want something more laid back I second Yukon.

Atlantic Canada. Cheap cost of living compared to the rest of the country, beautiful environment, lots of nice small communities.

If you like mountains and your job is remote then why not try and live in somewhere in Alberta? Canmore is right next to Banff and is absolutely gorgeous. That being said Alberta is pretty much the America of Canada meaning their politics is pretty right wing. If you want to live in a province that's more left wing you can try British Colunbia which is on the other side of the rockies.

Port Alberni, BC

Or Merritt, BC if you want to be on the mainland

Both have all the necessary hospitals, schools, rec centers, high-speed internet, and decent access to larger cities if needed.

Alberni is amazing but I wouldn't live there due to natural hazard risk. If there is a tsunami (and that's not even an if, it's long overdue) the town will be gone. And there will be no way to evacuate because there is only one way out

Man… if I could I’d move to Whistler lol

Living in a resort town isn't as good as you might think. You get annoyed by tourists very quickly and eventually you end up taking the place for granted anyway

If you can afford that, you can jump in your helicopter and go wherever you want.

Ugh, I was looking at prices like “these aren’t that bad”. Then I saw the 1/8-1/10 ownership…
