I lived in Toronto for a bit, a 6er of PBR is at least $10 compared to <$5 for a 6er of PBR tallboys in the US.

So that's already about 25% of your costs. Fresh fruit, can't get that in Canada. Milk, can't get that. Sparkling water? No idea how much that was, but can't afford that in Canada.

If that's a pork shoulder at the top, I would expect $30 at least for a 4-5 lb cut like that.

OK well I don't know why you though those would be good to buy.

Also, when you post about how many "dollars" something cost on 4chan other users will assume you mean USD, so it's a good idea to specify since 120 CAD = ~95 USD.

Because they get paid in Canadian dollars. I lived in Canada for two years, and everyone was like "everything will be so cheap with the exchange rate!". Yeah, but when I'm getting paid $60k USD for my job and pay $975 for a two bedroom apartment with parking and a patio, and then I move to Canada and I get paid $70k CAD and pay $2350 for a one bedroom with another $200 CAD for parking, you see the financial trouble leafs are in.

I dont think other first world countries realize how fucked we are financially lmao. Canadas still coasting off its reputation of being a nice place to live. Our wages have been stagnant for 20 years, inflation has gone up 4.1 percent this year alone, used cars have sky rocketed in price because of the chip shortage, we have the most expensive housing market in the world, we recently dropped out of the top 10 happiest countries, weve been in lockdown for 2+years now, low paying jobs wages are being supressed by the hundreds of thousands of immigrants the liberals and conservatives bring in yearly, meat will soon be something you eat a couple times a week.

Our healthcare system is shit. I’d rather go bankrupt if it meant having access to cutting edge cancer treatments in a timely fashion. I’d also like to be able to have preventative diagnostics even if it meant paying. You can’t get bloodwork or even a full physical unless there is a reason for it. In other words, you need to be sick.

Canada is a joke. We’re told inflation is up 4% when Stats Canada is underplaying the food and other inflation by a significant amount. Canadians are complacent retards who can only shrug and say “at least we’re not in the US”

And we obsessively want to change our demographics and give advantages to everyone but whites. It’s fucking crazy.

>I'd unironically rather live in Britain.
They don’t even have wilderness there, fuck Britain.

But I agree with everything else you wrote. But the 4.1% inflation rate is complete bullshit, that’s the official rate but everyone knows they are underestimating it. Butter went up like 30% this year. Across the board everything is going up especially real estate. My house has gone up around 30-35% since I bought it three years ago.

Canadians are FUCKED and I figured with this election the anger would have come out but it didn’t. People will march off a cliff before they break out of their complacency and stop worrying about immigrants/potential immigrants over themselves. The boomers with their bought homes and disposable income live outside our reality and so do the students, but they graduate and hit the job market and want kids they’ll realize shit isn’t all the it was cracked up to be.

I have a connection to the land here but the people are retards. I’d hate to move away but I’m absolutely prepared to if I start getting personally affected to the point where my quality of life really suffers. Even now I make $115k, my wife takes care of the kids, we don’t live extravagantly and we’re not nearly as financially comfortable as I would have imagined with this salary. The mortgage, taxes and increasing cost of living is killing us. Sure I’m better off than the majority of humans but that’s not good enough for me. I’ll jump ship to the USA if need be, I’ll be another one for the brain drain.

Anybody who thinks the default price at hospitals is what is actually paid is a brain dead fucktard.
I spent 5 days in the hospital because my heart was flipping out and they thought I had sepsis, had every blood test known to man done, chest xray and emergency abdominal CT scan, and stayed in a private room the whole time (btw you can ask for ativan whenever you want and order room service without charge)

Total cost of stay and treatment was $36k, of which I paid 2k, which I think is perfectly reasonable considering the amount of resources I ate up

tl;dr American healthcare isn't anywhere near as expensive as reddit makes you think it is. People just like posting pre adjustment statements and act like it's the actual bill.

[Anonymous No.16744530]

It’s 100% hostile to certain demographics (old stock Canadians) and it is becoming more and more openly and plainly stated. I have kids and if the pendulum keeps swinging the way it has been I wonder what kind of future they’ll have: bottom of the pile for jobs, scholarships, university selection and absolutely unable to afford homes of their own. I don’t see a benefit to them staying here unless things change.

My family has been here for a long time too and I’d hate to leave but it’s important to remember that our ancestors moved around, including coming to Canada, for a better life. They didn’t stay where they were born out of a misguided sense of loyalty: they moved for a better opportunity for themselves and their families. It was hard for them to do this and it will be hard for us if we have to, but such is life. I refuse to stay anywhere if it means eking by and putting my kids at a disadvantage.

I did all the right things, make good money in a STEM field, watch my finances carefully and don’t live extravagantly. And my bank account is being slowly bled to death by a thousand cuts. And all we hear about is “how lucky we are we’re not in the USA” as if that is true or even means anything.

If the country continues to turn its back on us then we should be prepared to jump ship for our own sake. Fuck em.

Get a french press and a Hario Skerton hand grinder.

Grinding beans by hand is not bad at all with a french press grind. I can grind enough beans for about 12 cups of coffee in less time than it takes a pot/kettle of water to boil on my stove. Hand grinders are only slow/annoying if you are trying to do fine drip or espresso grinds.

When it comes to regular coffee it will not get any better than this. The only thing worth getting from coffee shops is espresso-based drinks, because those actually require expensive equipment to make properly.
