I stopped after they got rid of coke clear.

Edit. Sorry that Pepsi crystal. I think that was replaced by Crystal meth.

Edmonton is probably one of the cheaper places in Canada too.

I hear you. I am hoping our issues are temporary up here. Honestly, our biggest issue is that housing is astronomically expensive and no one has tried to even fix it in earnest. Rising rates are having an impact. Houses are going up for sale and sitting there. At some point it will break and prices may drop.

The Canadian Conservative party is not yet anywhere close to the republican party.

Depends which province, but you will most likely have a corrupt, inept premier. Health care and education are neglected to a dangerous point. The federal government is a contest of who can be the biggest bozo and still get elected as prime minister.

The ideology in Canada is to pay as much money as possible for everything and try not to complain. Prices for goods and services are out of control. Housing is so unreasonably priced that there is no realistic way of affording to rent as an individual or to buy a house without inheritance.

Taxes are on everything and can be quite significant. Most people don’t realize how much tax is included in the costs of most things we buy.

We are also bringing in so many new immigrants so there is a constant labour pool to churn through and wages only ever increase nominally.

If you’re coming to Canada with a chunk of money, you’ll probably be ok until it’s taxed out of you. If you’re hoping to move to Canada, get a job and rent or buy a place, then life will be tough.

I get about ten calls every week for air duct cleaning. I wouldn’t say I’m rude, but I will waste as much of their time as I can.
