Depends. Vancouver is one of the most queer and specifically trans inclusive places in the world at present. Culturally speaking there aren’t a lot of places where a lot of queer accommodation is almost mainstream. Gender neutral bathrooms are becoming wider spread with segregated bathrooms often including signage specifically welcoming trans people. Our informed consent system for trans healthcare is something the UK trans folk have been envious of for years on years and there is a current practice of trans acceptance in schools and vibrant villiage dating scenes that take trans acceptance as a mission.
It isn’t perfect, certainly transphobia still exists here but it’s about as “bastion” like as you are gunna get.

Which European countries have jobs available with good benefits, free healthcare, affordable gigabit internet with no data cap, legal cannabis concentrates (dabs and wax pens), and are currently accepting Americans?

None. No European country allows for legal cannabis concentrates.
As for the rest of your requirements: Most, I think? Except for affordable gigabit internet outside a few select countries perhaps.

Okay what about outside of Europe, then?

I think the only country with as liberal of cannabis regulation is Canada and maybe Thailand. Not sure about other countries.
Medical use is still covered in much of Europe, though as far as I’m aware solely as a last resort for chronic pain. I think medical cannabis can only be consumed through weed pens as well, pharmacies aren’t going to give you joints.
Though I’m fairly sure a doctor would first attempt to find the cause of your insomnia because symptom treatment is of secondary concern. That might make for an uncomfortable first weeks.

Imagine not leaving concentration camp USA because you can’t get your weed pens lol

We should be a bastion for Canadian values and principles. Canada has always been a place for groups persecuted by the US government, from slaves to men not wanting to fight in Vietnam. This is just the next community that needs us.
