Moving to BC

Heading to Smithers. CNR move. I've heard that "Bring Cash" thing. Seems to be a little lighter in the northern interior and the company added a good raise to compensate. Housing costs look to be 20% higher in general. Property taxes are ridiculous. Seems to be a decent place, but it's 300 miles from anywhere. Provincial income taxes are not bad, not great, but everyone compares to Alberta which is basically 10% flat. I lived in Manitoba for my first 50 years, so I know what a greedy province is like. My sympathies to my Winnipeg friends. The scenery is incredible, Hudson mountain ski area, snowmobiling the Onion, (gonna need a long track now). Bulkley and Skeena rivers for fishing. Life should be good.
