    The cost of living in Canada is substantially lower though, so you need to figure that into it.

      The cost of living is lower in Canada? That’s gotta be a new one. Literally everybody in Canada complains about how the cost of living there is skyrocketing. Their home prices are worse than Cali. I was just up there in 2021 and it was pennys on the dollar for me with exchange rates, but stuff was definitely expensive up there compared to even Cali where I’m from. The only thing cheaper is healthcare and schooling but that’s just subsidized.

          Neat! It also sounds like while it’s affordable that people don’t get paid well enough to actually afford that since in the second paragraph it says “The average after-tax salary is enough to cover living expenses for 1.7 months in Canada compared to 2 months in the United States”

          I’m also running on no sleep for the past 28 hours so my brain isn’t what I’d call “working” ATM. 😅
