There are a lot of more modern movies coming out these days (especially in the fantasy and sci-fi genres) that have subs that are purposefully edited into the film like John Wick for when characters speak Russian and Mando and Grogu for BS alien languages. But for some reason, many of the streaming sites that movies and shows are uploaded to completely remove them. I couldn't understand about 15% of Supergirl because of this, and for the entire 5 or 10 minute flashback to her life on Krypton, I had to basically make up what was likely being said in my head.

Is there some reason that I as a layman don't understand as to why this is a common practice?

So Mr. Henry (Jack of all Trades) of Skalitz understandably evolves to be one of the best blacksmiths in Bohemia - if not THE best. Especially if you have the Legacy of the Forge DLC. Narratively, this makes absolute sense given his background. And the tailor in Troskowitz will go on a 5 minute diatribe (if you let him) about his expertise in formulating dyes, what materials to use and how he applies it...

...So why can't Henry learn to dye armor/clothing pieces when a teacher is literally RIGHT THERE? He can concoct all manor of (frankly magical) potions that can completely mend near mortal wounds in minutes, kill enemies in seconds or instantly grant knowledge/abilities that increase major skills tremendously in an instant for a few minutes at a time - but he himself can't learn that trick nor can he send his personal armorer to Trosky to learn how to color a breast plate or fund the afore mentioned tailor's love of clothes dying. 🤔

Please allow me to state my position. I'm a retired former member of the United States Army; an Iraqi War vet with 18 (pre-Trump) years invested in the military. I'm currently a sheriff in in the state of Texas and have been for the last 12 years who's looking to engage in this second retirement in another 6 years. I have enough retirement funds/investments to support myself and my wife without relying on government assistance. And so...the question.

After looking at Canada's available visa programs, I'm not seeing much in the way of options for retirees looking for better than what we have that's falling to pieces in the US.

I don't have any Canadian family, extended relations or cultural ties, so I can't utilize the "super visa" or "family sponsorship" routes. When I retire, I don't want to start a third career (at least not right away), so that closes the door on the "provincial nominee" and express entry" routes. So all that I can see from the surface of the situation is old fashioned "visitor status", which seems to only support 6 months out of the year for stay duration, and a requirement to maintain an American residence. So basically, I have to have enough income to have a primary US residence and a second home in the north. Now, I'm financially stable...but not winter-home-in-Canada stable.

Is it possible for me to move to Canada to enjoy a life in retirement and start a family with my American wife in a place where hatred and racism isn't the norm without having to either work for another 20 years or have so much income that I can afford homes in two different countries with the requirement/hassle of traveling back and forth twice a year?
