Yeah but you have healthcare lol
That's it. That's the only thing that makes it bearable.
Toronto and Vancouver have been two of the most expensive cities to live in, in North America. Rent is incredibly high here, just like in the US.
However, we have lower salaries than in he US in general. Also, our goods and services are substantially more expensive in Canada than the US. This means the US population has a much higher spending power than Canadians.
You wouldn't believe how much we pay for groceries, internet, mobile phone plans, clothes, cars, furniture, etc. Our spending ability is complete shit.
We only have public healthcare to thank for not completely going under. For everything else, we're barely getting by.
