“Judeo-Christian”. Many consider that an extremely loaded phrase. You should look up the history.What was code words? I didn't use any code words. You've lost me.
I took exception to the use of the use of “Judeo-Christian culture and tradition”. That's where it started.Not sure why racial would even cross your mind. Canada needs population. Young working people to maintain a tax base. It’s common knowledge. I’ve never heard that talked about in a racial nature until you just did.
Maybe you should. Neither ethnic Jews nor the originators of Christianity are "white folk", if that's what you're getting at and certainly today the VAST majority of either worldwide are Semetic, Black, Hispanic and Asian. Honestly, if the words Jewish and Christian are now synonyms for Caucasian, I think the entire world's gone mad.“Judeo-Christian”. Many consider that an extremely loaded phrase.

A former co-worker had a vacation home in Mexico for at least a decade before he retired. A place with good medical care, where he and his partner felt welcomed and safe, so they retired there. But after 8 years random violence became a problem. They moved back to the U.S and sold the place.Mexico because it's somewhere Americans can easily retire to. A lot of these other countries mentioned above are actually not easy to move to permanently. And, believe me, I've looked.

The original post I replied to was in reference to "ethics" and "culture" as it relates to religious backgrounds. I had no reason to believe it implied a race issue.
But it also places an emphasis on religious superiority. And you can certainly ask what many modern scholars of Judaism think of the term.
I thought that it was an unnecessary injection of religion into this discussion.I think the OP was referring simply to Judeo-Christian "values", but you're both right...or wrong these days

Well - Canada is a large place. It's not like many people live in the Arctic Circle. If there were any part of Canada I'd be able to tolerate based on weather, it would be the area around Vancover that has a Mediterranean climate that's regulated by the water. Kind of reminds me of where I grew up, other than it might be a bit colder because of the latitude.Canada, France, Sweden, Scotland, or Ireland. We've given it serious consideration in the past 2 years. DH is campaigning for Czech but there's the whole language-thing.
(I laugh when I read that Canada is too cold, considering how much further north of Toronto we are here in Maine!)

I've worked with people from an office in Prague. One was an Italian expat working there. He had a Czech girlfriend although he said they mostly spoke in English because he was working on his Czech. He also said he couldn't believe how difficult a language Czech was. His only criticism was the impact of the Russian Mafia there. That was a while ago and my understanding is that the groups have changed.Almost everyone speaks English in Prague. Don't let that be the barrier.
