    Avoiding the famous things…

    Tracking mud into someone’s house. The most striking cultural difference is literally just taking your shoes off as a guest.

    Alligators, tropical diseases, hurricanes for the most part.

    Flag-worship. Which is ironic because tomorrow is Canada Day, but really the US is on a whole other level.

    Government deadlock.

    Pennies.

    Embargoing Cuba.

        The radioactive fascist clown squatting in our Whitehouse and kidnapping people off the streets in broad daylight has made a couple news publications. Maybe you’ve seen one or two headlines.

        Oh, and by squatting, I mean literally squatting down and taking an actual shit on our constitution, not squatting like inhabiting illegally, because apparently the majority of our country actually asked for this.

      I practice my quick draw relentlessly so I always shoot first.

    Food. Shelter. Healthcare. In a lot of places water. Just staying in general is markedly more difficult.

      Lol. We have ~3 grocery stores and everyone knows they collaborate to rip us off. I’d take food off the list.

      It’s been a while since I checked, but I think Vancouver was the most expensive city for a while in terms of property values and rent. Nowhere is as cheap as cheap US areas, and southern Ontario is close to Vancouver. It should be getting a bit better, but that’s because the government went into disaster mode to fix it.

      The healthcare and water are legit, though.

        Canada has some of the least affordable cities in North America but it also has some of the most affordable cities. If you are able to move then Canada has some very affordable options. But I appreciate that the ability to move is a luxury that many folks don’t have because of circumstances like family commitments.

          Most affordable compared to what? Non-western cities can get crazy cheap. I remember a video of a day out on the town in Lilongwe, Malawi for a single USD.

          I’m in rural Alberta, and you’re still going to be hard-pressed to find a sub-1000CAD rental.
