Canada has become extremely expensive now. Housing is next to impossible to purchase with starter homes starting at $600,000. Taxes are in the 15% range on everything you buy. Groceries are skyrocketing. But I still love my home country of Canada.

I sure hope that you Canadians will soon be able to buy European Grocereries for a fair price-if so you will be better off in the End.The US-Food industry is killing their customers anyway with their shit they sell.
This is true. All the additives in their food and the diet of fast food is horrible. I am shopping at all Whole Foods but I have to complain that they only give you a discount if you have an Amazon account. I refuse to have an Amazon account.
If you lived on one of the PNW islands, or in Gig Harbor and have to cross the Narrows toll bridge, they give a discount even without an Amazon account. We have to use Amazon delivery at times as we live on a ferry-locked island and can't always get to the store conveniently.
I was shocked to learn the owner/board of Trader Joes donated to Trump. Now I refuse to buy much there anymore either. We garden and can a lot, and have fruit trees. We just bought a second freezer - along with a generator for when the power goes out!
Homes in my area are being built for $550,000 and up. Yes, way more expensive than they are worth. But you don't have the gun violence. You have health care like we don't. Those two make up so much of the "deficit." Someone explained to me recently how much you all pay for income taxes up there, and, when I factored in the cost of paying for private insurance family plan ($25k a year), your taxes for income at least, weren't unreasonable. Count your blessings. Not being the king of the world is also a benefit of living in Canada.
However, healthcare is not great in all areas especially in rural areas. I know for specialty doctors even in cities the wait time is six months plus. I was born and raised in Canada and lived there for 50 years. However, I met the man of my dreams here in the States and he was a navy veteran. After seeing what my parents and aunts and uncles went through because of Hitler and communism, I am willing to stay here and fight in my husband's memory.
But don't forget. The exchange on the Canadian dollar means that US dollars are worth 30% more. Yes, it is expensive in Canada, but I far prefer Canada than to living under the current US regime.

IтАЩve never been asked where I live! But I always say my name n where I live! Then I start right in
Thanks for calling!
IтАЩm PNW! Glad of it!
I wish I could garden. I live in a condo. Instead I am filling up my cupboards and freezer with food. I should look into a generator.
And all my respect to you personally!
