My impression about Canada.

Been to Vancouver, Montreal, Ottawa, and Toronto.

Vancouver is the most expensive place to live. The realty price is ridiculously high. Very high tax rate,on both income and sales tax. I heard that many "white" people who owned house in Vancouver have sold them to the new immigrants (you know where they come from) and move out of Vancouver.

While I was in Montreal, we took a horse-carriage tour of the city. The horseman said that many many people in Montreal earn less than the minimun tax threshhold -- which is $24,000 CND a year!

Almost everything in Canada is much more expensive than that in the U.S. -- gas, food, rent, etc. Yet the income is less. I cannot help wondering how most of the Canadians survive????
