>Not living on the very same land your Swedish ancestors cleared and built a farm on in Alberta

NGMI

>>19897233
Move to a shithole town within reach of the 401 and spend your life commuting.

>>19897233
leave lol wtf is wrong with you

>>19897233
>living in Pootario

Literally why

Head north to Sudbury or North Bay for affordable living. Or move to New Brunswick where it’s dirt cheap. Gotta get far away from the curry stink to have a better life

What kind of jobs do they have up there

New Englander here. I love visiting Montreal

69K CANADIAN ... dollars. What is that in USD like $40k? And let me guess you have a degree.

>>19898293
Not the best selection but, if your in trades or can do something remote it would work out. Low cost of living and dont gotta deal with living in GTA slums any more

I live in a co-op downtown Toronto and pay less than 800 for a one bedroom, that’s the only way I could afford to live here

>>19897233
>Live in your car or a tent
>Get a gym membership so you can shower/use the bathroom/shave, etc.
>Use soup kitchens/food banks for free food
>Do this for about 5 years, save up as much of your wages as you can
>Move to St John, New Brunswick and buy a livable house outright, should still have a decent chunk of money leftover

Not even being ironic, it's the only viable strategy I can think of to actually buy property in this country without being enslaved for the next 50 years. Boomers looted the entire country and fucked up so hard that their descendants have to resort to bullshit like this.

Redpill me on soup kitchens. Didn't know these things existed in 2020. I always thought it would be nice to go somewhere for a free meal.

>>19899342
Can't speak for literally every single one out there but they generally serve lunch/dinner at set times. You can usually just walk in, wait in line and they hand you a meal on a plate, you sit down and eat. I think as of right now they just hand out prepackaged meals in takeout containers, because of chink sniffles. Food banks give you lots of canned and prepackaged stuff too.

>Didn't know these things existed in 2020.

There's more of them than ever bro, there's so many fucking poor people now especially in shithole urban hellscapes like the GTA.

>>19897233
>surrounded by endless rural areas with cheap land and houses
>live in the second most expensive city instead
>bro wtf why can't I afford it?

Move you brainlet. I bought my house for 80k in Ontario and work remote for 110k a year doing software. I'll be retired in no time

>buy house
>commute to work
It's that easy.

>https://www.royallepage.ca/en/property/ontario/freelton/1-otto-drive/12143799/mls30808110/

where's the rest of the house?

>>19897233
I make 28k and live in a comfy three bedroom + sunroom & garden AMA

What is the best province to live in bros? im looking for cheap cost of living and 90%+ white

>>19899897
Imagine paying 81k for a studio attic

>>19899980
in a nudist colony as well

>>19897233
rent and food
its all about rent and food
you need to find consistent ways to get both more cheaply

troll craigslist for someone disabled looking for a roommate if you can tolerate people, if not and you plan on staying in the area, start looking at non-standard properties you could convert into a decent 1-br and consider putting together a proposal for a loan to purchase one

food is easy, just join a couple clubs or whatever that serve dinner, or start attending a church. pester your boss about catered lunch during a work crunch.

>>19899844
>not putting every dime into incredibly risk investments when you're in a situation like this
SHIGGYDIGGY
either throw your money at stupid penny stocks or start your own business
in your circumstance there's literally no reason not to be playing roulette for a chance at billionaire status

>>19899966
if you're fluent in french, everywhere in quebec expected for montreal/laval.

Why would anyone willingly choose to stay and live in a frozen country which tries so hard to be America?

>>19900154

>takes one look at what’s happening in America currently

You think we want to be like that? I live here because it’s NOT the States

Ive done two business trips to toronto

Hotel breakfast was full of rich chinese who flew in to buy property that day or whatever lol. The city made a lot of sense for me, an american visitor, but i wonder about canadians. How do toronto canadians afford stuff? I assume all the not rich ones are in debt

Also lmfao at how pacified all the canadians are. I feel like they are all inwardly resentful.

Only happy people in client sites seemed to be director level+. IT was super grim at lots of places and full of indians who would silently stare at u.

Also lots of empty cubes (bc layoffs.. esp of citizen employees) but obviously, thats why you hired me.

>>19897233

leave Onterrible

its for the rich or the poo. middle class gets a shit deal. come to alberta numbnuts you might actually make it in life.

>>19901064

Also one time i took uber from hamilton to downtown. I would not want to make a daily commute in gta

You gtfo out of Canada while you still can. Canada and especially Ontario are economic dead ends. Read the new NAFTA agreement, Canada is the useless, retarded, 3rd wheel of the USA-Mexico relationship.

>>Note: This is a land lease property in a private NUDIST resort
this is weird; cant people just be normal
