I agree. I feel like we have it worst in some regards, low how we only have 3 major cities in Canada where the majority of the jobs are, whereas in the U.S. they have many options.
Yeah rent is high in the U.S., but it’s relatively higher in Canada because our wages are shittier. We also have quasi-monopolies owning some of the most essential necessities like food and communications and the are usin this privilege to gouge the Canadian population. Our politicians are also actively degrading our public services such as healthcare and public transit for the benefi of for-profit healthcare and the auto industry. And we have a major housing crisis fueld by rich property barons snatching up everything while our government can’t think outside the box to fix it.
That’s it. That’s the only thing that makes it bearable.
Toronto and Vancouver have been two of the most expensive cities to live in, in North America. Rent is incredibly high here, just like in the US.
However, we have lower salaries than in he US in general. Also, our goods and services are substantially more expensive in Canada than the US. This means the US population has a much higher spending power than Canadians.
You wouldn’t believe how much we pay for groceries, internet, mobile phone plans, clothes, cars, furniture, etc. Our spending ability is complete shit.
We only have public healthcare to thank for not completely going under. For everything else, we’re barely getting by.
Haha, all the problems you just listed for Canada are like exponentially worse in the United States. Like way fucking worse. Not the least concentrated Supply, which always wins over diffuse demand according to an ancient Indian adage, Gandhi Indian obviously. Natives should not be called Indians they should be called natives I figure.
Every Canadian needs to live in the US for three years to realize how utterly full of shit and whiny Canadians are.
the difference is, canadians overwhelmingly support universal healthcare… yet these shitty privatization efforts slowly sneak in via USA influence. we’re not innocent though… we vote for shitty little cuts over and over, causing the system to crumble… but overall, people support the idea of universal healthcare… we’re just too shortsighted to keep it funded well…
on the other hand, americans are very openly proud of their shit-ass system (you won’t hear much of them on lemmy though)… freedom! self-sufficiency! we don’t need the nanny state! your shitty conditions are directly of their own doing… not because some neighboring country is flooding their airwaves with propaganda and influence…
being slightly better than america in some areas is not the bar we should be aiming for…

really…how much of you wages goes to healthcare every month? How many medical bills are you paying down? How about that 6 figure student loan?

It’s not a competition.
Just because we have it slightly better than the US doesn’t mean we’re not facing our own set of challenges.
Calling Canadians whiny is insulting and your comment deserves a good “fuck you” for its insensitivity.
