Here is some info about the RCAF Station Baden-Soellingen.
Once I lived just a few miles from there, so I still know well about it.

Canadian Forces Base Baden–Soellingen or CFB Baden–Soellingen, formerly known as RCAF Station Baden–Soellingen (Baden), (IATA:FKB, ICAO: EDSB, former code EDAL) was a Canadian Forces base located near the farming community of Söllingen, part of the municipality of Rheinmünster in the West German state of Baden-Württemberg. It is now a commercial area called Baden Airpark, which also includes the regional airport Flughafen Karlsruhe/Baden-Baden.

I suppose the Canadians are still asleep in Canada.
Here ist is 10 in the morning on a Saturday - near Baden-Soellingen, where once many Canadians lived. :)
 


I hope you can understand French Canadian!
Funny for me to see may home region explained in French Canadian :)
 


CF-18s of 439. Squadron leave CFB Baden-Soellingen -​


They leave Germany for Canada :)

Montreal if I could speak French (I can't).

You really don't have to just about everyone speaks English. Quebec City is a different story.
 
I'm Canadian and I didn't vote because the notion of 6 corners was off putting to me. Canada is a large beautiful country and to leave out our beautiful East Coast just seems wrong! Leaving out the three States in the middle was fine 'cause who would want to live there anyhow? 😉

I live in lake country in Ontario and it is heaven on earth but if I were to move it would be to Nova Scotia or BC. Mind you the most friendly, generous people on earth or in Nerwfoundland.

I was interested in Little Canada. I had an ex-brother-in-law stationed in Baden and the gentleman we are going to dinner with was stationed there twice. All four of his kids grew up on base. They came home when the kids were ready for high school. He has very fond memories. We have been gone for almost 30 years so a lot of people really don't have much memory of when we had a large contingent of our military in Germany. Germany is on our bucket list for travel....hopefully next Fall.

I don’t wanna say too much because my math says there’s a 10% chance I need to escape there. Ontario is basically the United States with more hockey, PEI is really cool and bc is just about finding a way to afford to live there. I think in the end we shall all wind up in Yellowknife - A reminder of the tiny corner on this earth we left for ourselves after decades of not paying attention and not trying and not acting. Our future is Yellowknife
 
I have lived in Toronto and St Catherine's, Ontario, but I would choose a province not on the list - Nova Scotia. I've sailed into Halifax several times and always enjoyed the stay.
 
I have no desire to live anywhere in Canada.

I have lived in Montreal for 7 years now, French is still not that great.

Interesting. Did not speaking French make getting employed harder?

British Columbia coast. Where I am now.
Just to illustrate the scope of this country, the province I live in is nowhere near the largest province but it's bigger than Germany and France put together and has about 5 million people. That's one reason why people who live here never want to live anywhere else. Everywhere else seems too crowded.
That, and the mountains sloping down into the ocean.

It does, but my department speaks English and is made up of other Anglo-Canadians with our clients almost exclusively American so I am fine. It really depends on the position and the company.

Though if you don't speak French immigration is going to be very difficult. Montreal is fine but the current provincial government is extremely xenophobic and use English speakers as a scapegoat for many things.
