From affordable housing in Alberta to high taxes in Quebec, there are many widely accepted claims about the cost of living in different parts of the country. But are these preconceptions accurate?

Even though I like my country, and it IS a great place to live if you like stability and to be forced to live a certain life, it is really great. But the tax pressure is just going to be rediculess after the next election, and I am tired of the retarded laws getting made every god damn year. The freedom of choice seems to become limitted. You have to give up 60% and then you don’t even feel like you are in charge of the last 40% of your income. We even set ourselves up at the cheap country side, living affordable, reducing our consumption to are minimal, and yet, both gotta work full time jobs to have a life where we can also go on vacations from time to time and just renovate the house. I would love a life where we are able to live the life we want to, of cause we will say good bye to other great things, but atleast we will be happy with what we got. I also love the nature, and canada is a beautiful country!
Yeah, the being forced to live a certain life I can get. In Oz, we do have tax brackets that increase as you earn but we’re pretty free given how much “nanny state” politics gets thrown about. Our system does feel like its designed to help the rich and punish the poor, but I’ve also worked in Bihar, India, where there is a whole other level of poor that I haven’t seen here. Good luck mate, wishing the best for you and your fam.
