I guess it depends on province but I heard you have high inflation over there. How is it affecting the average person over there?

It's not awesome. Lots of belts being tightened.

If you don't live with someone else (partner or roommates) you're going to have a bad time unless you make well above the average income for the city you choose.

There are still a few places that are more affordable, but they aren't particularly desirable locations (Saskatoon for example)

Is that a high crime area?

It's a medium-size city in the middle of nowhere basically. The land is so flat you can watch your dog run away for three days. It's not a desirable place so it's cheap.

That made me crack up :D

And then I shared it with my wife, who also cracked up :)

I need to find the perfect occasion to use this.
