I guess it depends on province but I heard you have high inflation over there. How is it affecting the average person over there?
I’m Australian and lived in the UK for many years (white “western” immigrant bias). But this sentiment, I share it. It’s because most native Canadians only really compare to the USA. Im not at the lower end of the income scale and not as affected (just spend more and it’s better), but holy crap there are better places to be if you are.
Yeah put the USA and Canada side by side and compare things as a typical family with a decent income and 1 or 2 kids and Canada comes out WAY on top. Expand that to Europe for example, and you’re left scratching your head wondering “WTF Canada”.
It’s interesting to see how people live in other parts of the planet… how you can live very comfortably in a very nice home that is half the size of a generic Canadian home. Or how the food quality can be oh so much better elsewhere. When I lived in Africa, the first thing that jumped out at me was the flavour of vegetables… nothing exotic either, just simple things like onions and tomatoes. Unless you’re growing your own in a private garden in Canada, you have NO IDEA what a tomato can actually taste like.
