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 what I’ve never understood about the GTA and its surrounding areas. Like people paying $900k and killing themselves to cover a mortgage that’s 90% of their take home income, to live in like Ajax. No disrespect to Ajax or the 'shwa, but fuck that shit. Same deal with Vancouver too, people doing the same, only to have to commute 1.5 hours to Abbotsford. I got chirped pretty hard last time I was in Vancouver, about how much it must suck to live in Calgary, by someone who lives with their husband and two kids in a one bedroom condo in Surrey. Must be like a ratsnest in there. Call me a hillbilly or a honky, but I feel pretty comfortable knowing I’m backing my car into my 2 1/2 car garage at night, in my 4 bedroom house that I paid probably less for than a one bedroom condo in Surrey with a 1.5 hour commute.
