So just how shit is commiefornia, outside urban areas?
I live north of Toronto now. Girlfriend got a pretty lucrative job offer to move to move to Cali, one that would include bringing me along/getting a card I guess, I don't know how it works. I'm an electrician now, and make around 105k CAD. She'd be making around 100kUSD at this new place, but what about me? I don't think electricians make as much in the states, right?
I've always pictured moving to some (north) border state in the middle of nowhere if I was to ever leave Canada, but not fucking California. I've looked at the demographics and just looks like Toronto: the state.

Even considering the people outside of urban areas are alright, you're still bound by commiefornia law so it sucks

You can Google exactly what an electrician makes in the zipcode you're thinking about. Union or not. You can make the same wage, but it's related to you passing state/jounrneyman/ master licencing requirements.
California is a shit hole, with some of the highest cost of living and highest taxes in the US. 4 of the 10 most expensive places to live are in California. Cops don't do their jobs. It has the most corruption in all of the us, in politics.
Try it. You'll find out I'm not lying. The country (outside the city) is beautiful. The land is poisoned by the ass hats who live there.

it certainly does look beautiful, yes. Toronto cost of living is pretty substantial as well so I guess that wouldnt be a crazy shock

Your job will transfer easily. We use 60 Hz and you use 50 Hz, it's almost the same. Pulling wire, etc won't change. Your wage will dip some, but your tax rate is less than Canada, even in CA. Just get a current copy of the NEC and take a few pratice tests online. each tests costs about $300 to take (near me).
California is a shit hole, but you might as will get the first hand knowledge, I did.
Good luck maple neighbor.
